...after his visit to the Stork Club last week, Jesse Livermore turned up for lunch in the bar of the Sherry-Netherland Hotel. Tense, distraught, he took a table by himself, spoke to no one, from time to time took out a little memorandum book and jotted while he ate his lunch. Then he left. At 4:30 that afternoon he was back again. He ordered two old-fashioneds, sipped them slowly. Suddenly he rose from his table and went into the lobby. Ten minutes later an attendant found him slumped in a chair in the ground-floor...
...censor-delayed dispatch from India printed in the Christian Century last week revealed that the British Government was taking extra precautions that missionaries should render unto Caesar the things that are Caesar's.

Since World War I the British have required every foreign missionary to pledge that he would "do nothing contrary to or in diminution of the authority of the lawfully constituted government in the country to which I am appointed."

But Dean von Stade assures us this will not be the case. Official censorship, he maintains--if any should arise from the new memorandum--will be aimed only at advertising and libelous or otherwise illegal literature, not at political or social ideas...
Nevertheless, at least two points in the von Stade memorandum should be changed. Paragraph 2 provides that ". . . before permission is denied, the Student Council or its officers will be consulted." But how much weight will be attached to the Student Council's opinion? It should by all means be accorded every possible consideration. And paragraph 6 in effect nullifies the whole authority of the Dean's Office and the Student Council, for it vests final censorship rights in the Housemasters. "In the Houses, distribution will be permitted . . . except . . . where the Master has expressed a desire to give personal approval...
