...wound of two years back when one of our boys sold for fifty cents and an uneducated bulldog sold for six dollars. Twice we have entered the arena, filled with boyish selfconfidence. Twice, in the true spirit of free enterprise, we have backed our product in the open market. And twice we have had to retreat to the lofty protection of our ivied walls, thoroughly whipped, quaking neurotically...

Although the President actually gave "inflation curbs" top listing on his agenda, several Congressmen have declared their intent to introduce tax reduction measures as soon as Congress assembles.

Claflin, Jr. '15, Treasurer, the University's money is controlled. Today this fortune adds up to almost two hundred million dollars in market value, a figure that does not include a penny's worth of the physical plant. It is the source, not only of that vague concept known as Harvard's greatness, but also of many more specific questions, such as the various rates of tuition throughout the University. Yet the nature...
