...Christians . . . are inextricably involved in all the material and social concerns that affect the lives of normal men. . . . In this area of life inaction is a kind of action. To be indifferent to the way in which social life is ordered is . . . to take sides with corruption and tyranny, graft and reaction, since these social evils feed on the indifference and inactivity of ordinary folk, and count on it for their continuing existence...
Further signs that all is not normal in Andover Hall are in the undergraduate to graduate ratio and in the faculty and what it has to offer. A Bachelor of Theology degree is conferred after three years' study at the Divinity School, following receipt of a college degree. More advanced study is rewarded with a master's or doctor's degree in theology or with a Ph.D. Since the graduate students outnumber the undergraduates about 3 to 1, the inadequacy of basic theological study is obvious to the University administration...
...Faculty action of April 15 which created such a furor was simply a move to make permanent the war-born system and prevent restriction of joint instruction when the University returns to "normal" in June, 1948. Harvard and Radcliffe, despite the partial fusion of faculty and courses and the high percentage of Radcliffe students that eventually marry Harvard men, have been and will continue to be two separate institutions. Continuation of the present policy, which permits 'Cliffedwellers to take Harvard courses above Freshman level, will keep to a minimum the number of professors who hold forth in New Lecture Hall...
...visible road block was the telephone strike. Even that strike seemed to be crumbling around the edges. A.T. & T. claimed it was handling four-fifths of the normal number of local calls, that long-distance service was up to 35%. Telephone workers were beginning to straggle back in many places: twelve in Kosciusko, Miss.; 1,500 Commercial Telephone Workers Union members in New Jersey, pending arbitration and a constitutional test of the state's drastic new anti-strike law (TIME, April 21); so many in the South that Southern Bell had removed emergency restrictions from long-distance calls...
...charge was more serious. Certainly the most important factor in current food prices was the abnormal exports. The Government's much-criticized support buying, as Harry Truman said, was so far a negligible factor (see BUSINESS). But a sensitive price structure reacted violently to the slightest change in normal domestic supply. Washington economists figure that the index of farm prices rises 17 points every time the U.S. sends $500 million worth of food abroad. This index has risen from 209 in March 1946 to 280 in April...
