Undergraduate opinion was represented on the broadcast by William W. Hancock '38, president of the Debating Council. He declared that America must give up the "notion of any proper place in cooperative action," and restrict its activity to the "American atmosphere...
There seems to be a common superstition among the uninformed that Harvard University is the richest University in the country, and that therefore it can afford to raise wages among its employees without, at the same time, raising the tuition and meal-rates of the students.

There is some confusion among financial writers as to whether or not the Depression is yet over, but Willis Carrier has no doubts. After losing money from 1931 through 1935, Carrier Corp. last year made $507,000. This year Carrier's sales in the first six months were double those for that period of 1936. Last week Air Conditioning Manufacturers' Association announced that the entire industry's sales for the first nine months this year were $74,000,000 compared...
