What did Jon Bratiano do while the eyes of the world were upon Bucharest, to trumpet that he is master there and will oppose either the reinstatement of Carol as Crown Prince or the appointment of Queen Marie as one of the regents for the five-year-old heir apparent Prince Michel...

Upon these two hypotheses, then, that faculties and students should be colleagues rather than master and man, and that the way to get a responsible attitude toward study is to grant responsibility in the conduct and choice of study, would propose certain fields for investigation by the National Student Federation. All of them are debatable fields lying between organized activities. All of them need, it seems to me, the most careful cooperation between faculty and students, if that vitalizing of the courses of study which we all desire is to result. These fields are; (1) the student and his support...
