...student at Oxford, who has been carefully selected, is guided and advised, not compelled, by an assigned tutor. His degree is not awarded until he has proved his right to be recognized as having a college* education by taking comprehensive examinations which are largely non-factual in character. This measures the student's present proficiency and not his past success in cramming for numerous quizzes. Oxford has succeeded in encouraging both independence of mind and maturity of judgment...
...Eastern European Correspondent. Discussing the growing difficulty of reporting the news behind the Balkans' Iron Curtain, the Letter said: "The Curtain is securely fastened now-except for Communist and fellow-traveling foreign journalists ..." This was unjust to the small, hard-working group of U.S., British and other non-Communist foreign correspondents still doing their jobs in the Balkans' Communist countries.

But even if the legislature were composed of Eagle Scouts, instead of being conspicuously sprinkled with Toomeys, it would be dangerous to give that body the incredible power of deciding who could vote and who couldn...
...need in the state for this law, not so much for the liberal arts colleges as for graduate, professional, and secretarial schools; here discrimination may mean not only loss of an education, but also loss of job opportunities. Proponents of Senate 133 say that those schools which follow a non-discriminatory policy ordinarily have nothing to fear from anti-bias legislation, while those that have the questions and quotas can alter their stand without waiting for commission pressure...
