...CRIMSON pointed out in December somewhat in anticipation of the announcement of the plan, the system of divisional examinations employed at present in this department requires review of too broad a scope to allow maximum efficiency of results. The new plan provides a closer correlation of the three departments in the field. Also, by restricting the range of what exists as the present general examination within more specific limits it does away with the necessity for cramming an immense amount of material with which the student has no immediate concern other than a means to pass an examination. An added...
...argument that the submarine is a purely defensive weapon seems to us difficult to reconcile with the offensive use which has been made of it at great distances from its home ports. The contention that it is a less costly weapon which affords a maximum of strategic value for a minimum of outlay must be considered in the light of the knowledge that the submarine is three or four times as costly, ton for ton, as the largest type of surface craft and approximately twice as costly as the largest ships...
...each nation to announce its needs, France would have to lay her cards on the table before Italy, for the simple reason that the conference procedure is alphabetical and F comes before I. When his turn came, Signer Grandi, already assured of parity with France, already aware of her maximum demands, would simply repeat with a virtuous air Signor Benito Mussolini's old saying, repeated at every conference for years, "Italy stands ready to reduce to any common minimum, even the lowest" (TIME, Jan. 27). Thus the blame for maintaining heavy armaments would be shifted neatly and wholly...
...proposal was handed out to all delegates at a meeting of the "committee of the whole." French expert Rene Massigli, who helped Tardieu draft the P. T. F. (as Tardieu helped Clemenceau draft the Treaty of Versailles), explained that its major points are: 1) The conference should set a maximum total of "global" tonnage of "floating material," up to which each nation would have a theoretical right to build; 2) In striving for agreement as to actual building and ratios the method should be to consider war boats in six main classes, the classification being primarily in terms...
...been pointed out that graduate students work in the chemical laboratories after hours, and that the cost of keeping Mallinckrodt open in the evenings would be $10,000 at a maximum. In this connection it is noteworthy that the interest on the recent Wyeth bequest would amount to approximately 20 times that figure. There seems to be no reason why such a plan is not feasible as well as beneficial, and the fact remains that so far any such adequate reason has been conspicuously lacking...
