...voluntary playing of part of Harvard's spectacular band at important basketball games this winter sets more than a new precedent. It marks the trend of basketball towards its possible initiation as a major sport. Unfortunately, New England and Cambridge, especially, has never been basketball-conscious; neither has Harvard ever seen a good quintet; in the past the turn-out of players has been scanty and -disappointing, enough to discourage even a coach like Fesler. During the last month, however, Harvard has witnessed a stimulating rejuvenation in basketball, making the team a formidable threat to other rivals in the Eastern...
...good team alone does not make a major sport; neither do age and prestige help much. The demand by undergraduates and the public for basketball is requisite for such an accomplishment. At Lchigh wrestling has the rank of a major both because of its outstanding teams and the popularity of the sport with the college; at Penn State, boxing, for the same reasons. To achieve the class of a major, basketball must be popularized. This should place no further strain on the H.A.A.: in fact, the increased attendance which should result from a good team and the spontaneous music...
...credit of President Frank is the progress which the University has made since 1925.

But a man should not be pilloried for the failure of an experiment, especially when the University profited by the lessons learned. The attempts of lay Regents to prove that the University has slipped do not ring true when confronted by the unanimous contrary opinion of competent educators...
...America's way out. Again we stand at the Cumberland Gap to hear the pounding of the buffalo feet, the tread of the Indian, the tone of the oxcart--and in many more pages than Turner's memorable paragraph. Because of the frontier America need become neither Fascist nor Communist. Just what it will become, Seldes veils in a murky optimism...
...last week was RF Chairman Jesse Jones to give his views on the Terminal contract. Mr. Jones, it seemed, had lent MOP $17,000,000 before he had any inkling that the railroad was involved in commitments which were draining off $1,600,000 in much-needed cash annually. Neither to RFC nor to ICC, let alone its own stockholders, had the railroad disclosed the existence of the contracts. Belatedly Mr. Jones laid the facts before the U. S. Attorney General for possible fraud prosecution, but by then action was outlawed by a statute of limitation...
