...article in the current issue of the Alumni Bulletin, Clifford K. Shipton '26, Custodian of the Harvard University Archives, gives an amusing account of the chain of Saltonstalls that have periodically lent their name to the directory of Students of Harvard. "Our Harvard Saltonstalls," he calls them. In fact at the World's Columbian Exposition one of the Harvard exhibits was the Saltonstall family tree...
...decrease in private debt since 1929 has not however restored 1929's 80 billion dollar national income. Nor does the President expect 1929's income to be approached until idle private capital is put to work.

...taxes on employers and employes exceed disbursements. By 1980 this vast coalbin is scheduled to hold a reserve of $47,000,000,000. The effect of locking up $47,000,000,000 of public purchasing power would be highly deflationary. Actually, the money is not being locked up but lent to the Government. This means that by 1980 the Government will owe the Social Security Reserve 21% more than the present big national debt (now $38,600,000,000).* It means also that by that year the whole idea of a reserve will be no more than a piece...
