...eleven-man executive committee includes a non-Communistic president, only three members of the Young Communist League, and probably not more than two former Communist sympathizers; the Y.C.L., although voting as a bloc, failed to capture the Student Union. While they did well in the elections, the Communists took an apparent beating on the Russo-Finnish question, when their blanket support of the Soviet Union's foreign policy was snowed under by indignant liberals. The liberal majority proceeded to condemn both Russian aggression and the actions of those groups which hope to use Russia's actions as an excuse...

...selection of applicants consideration will be given to geographical distribution. Dean Donham stated that applicants would preferably be chosen from areas where it was impossible for a man to live at home and study at a nearby university.

Whatever the reason for these mental illnesses, the greatest danger lies in the lure of fake remedies; for the sick man is an all-too-easy victim of the first best quack who happens to cross--and bar--his way; he believes in miracles as the drowning man believes in his straw. Harvard has its quack doctors in plenty, its tutoring schools perched along Massachusetts Avenue. Sick people flock in, sick people flock out. Liberal education at its best...

This disregards, of course, the man who can produce a legitimate reason for tutoring--backwardness, illness, other activities. To him the University-sponsored Supervising Bureau offers cheaper and more efficient help; and even those who get a vicarious thrill out of "intellectual brothels" should succumb to the argument of a fuller purse and higher grades. As far as all other men are concerned, they stand only to lose by the garblings and the false emphases and the generally confusing misinterpretations of Square authoring. It offers a good which is at best unreliable, and which is much more than likely dangerous...
