Some skiers prefer a wax base. The best waxes for this purpose are: Ostvye, "glister," or "Skaresmoring." A fine coating should be applied, which must be rubbed into the wood with the hand, and then rubbed smooth with a cloth. It should be allowed to cool and harden before applying the surface...
...closed shop among the dining-hall workers. The suddenness of this activity and the fact that it coincides with a drive for unionization make the gestures look much like barn-locking after the horse is stolen. Thus caught napping at first base Harvard must find out why its wage policy leaves the University open to union drives, and whether or not, in fact, it has an up-to-date wage policy...
...axiomatic that Harvard's attitude towards wages must reflect the nature of the University and its position in the country. The deduction from this statement is that, unlike many public institutions and itself at times in the past, Harvard cannot abuse its reputation by using the steadiness of its employment as the excuse for any labor conditions below standard. For example, until the latest increases the dining-hall employees were paid below the most liberal rates outside, and even the increases leave the waitresses poorly paid if they are compared with workers in the best restaurants. Likewise, Harvard cannot...
...change in its attitude towards labor is needed by the University. It must recognize that it is expected to be a leader in solving the troubles of labor, though this does not mean pell-mell acceptance of the closed shop until labor is prepared for that move. It must recognize that a passive attitude of accepting what other people do is not worthy of Harvard or likely to solve the greatest industrial problem of the present.

Clearly if the University is to make itself an example of a progressive and liberal employer, it is going to spend more money on service than in the past. The students will have to pay part and the alumni must help, remembering their embarrassment when, during Lowell's administration, the pittance given the scrubwomen was printed throughout the country. If Harvard is to become a part of the best in American civilization, it should treat its people just as solicitously as it does its knowledge, nor in striving for the intellectual can it let its feet turn to clay...
