...College, founded in 1923 as a heterodox academy where left-wingers of all shades might work and study, was oddly built, and oddly remains, on a 320-acre tract near Mena in the Ozark Mountains of Arkansas. A cluster of frame houses, halls and barns in which all the manual labor is done by faculty and students, the College is detested by many of the local citizenry who got the Arkansas Legislature to investigate "free love" and ''nudism" at Commonwealth, and last winter Rev. Luther D. Summers, a Baptist of Mena, led a crusade to make the College...

Modern Free-Masons believe their order "coeval with the creation of the world by the Almighty." Plato recorded the scandalous revels of secret orders in ancient Greece. Africa has its Egbo, eastern Australia its hoary lodges where the initiation begins by knocking out the candidate's front teeth. Nowhere have secret societies flourished more luxuriantly than...
...Physics course would be more disjointed and would involve the presence of two new features in the Physics department. First, a large group of laboratory instructors interested in the students and with time to spend on them, and secondly an accurate and complete, constantly revisable laboratory manual. These two features would eliminate any need for lectures, and would be necessary because the lack of apparatus would necessitate the performance of the same experiment at widely separated times by different members of the course...
