...federation, 500,000 Negro children attend school. This is more than double the total white population: 207,000. Rhodesia is dedicated to the motto of its founder, Cecil Rhodes: "Equal rights for every civilized man." But as more and more Negroes reach "civilized" standards (literacy and an income of at least $560 a year) and thereby qualify to vote, the whites are beginning to worry that eventually they will be swamped. "We are financing Negro education so that they can outvote us," complained one white settler...
...senator violates the 5th amendment, its damnation extends to the point of accusations of violation of the entire Bill of Rights. This, in a nutshell, is the opinion of the Harvard CRIMSON; although succeeding as an instrument of influence, it fails well as an instrument of Harvard's motto, "Veritas."

...Professions. Last week, in a four-story building in Rome, Father Morlion's revolution was going on apace under the name of the International University of Social Studies, generally known by its motto, Pro Deo.

To alleviate the misery and to encourage the workers, Bilbao's energetic young Bishop Casimiro Morcillo González set up a mission whose motto was "Towards a Better Life." All week long, 300 priests used 2,000 loudspeakers to urge "Christian solidarity" for the workers, "social justice" from the employers, and quoted the Pope's words: "The workers, objects of my special love." Bilbao's deeply religious workmen listened and hoped...
...Porcellian." With its early beginning and 164 years of tradition, Porcellian has always represented the final club to the non-clubbed world. Begun in an era when Cambridge was small, isolated, and arid in entertainment, the club provided a necessary social break in the scholastic routine. The Porcellian's motto Dum vivimus vivamus was typical of the early attitude of the members--no lofty mission, no serious purpose, just jovial pleasantry...
