That the University is a better judge of the proper allocation of monies than are donors is too obvious a point to be labored. Mr. Conant can invoke more specific arguments. Gifts for stated purposes, although rarely refused, have in the past been sources of positive embarrassment to the University. There have been lecture series, even professorships, which involved questionable and unnecessary attacks upon popular institutions, even upon religions. Negatively equivalent to this is the fact that restricted grants have frequently supported eminently useless projects. Arising, perhaps, from vital controversies in the eighteenth century, these later became unique for their...
...would seem obvious," he writes, "that no college can be sure that its influence will control the words and actions of a large group of newly admitted students.

The Dionnes are so impudent as to sing it in five different keys, squealing and chuckling...
Book publishers are agreed that more books would be sold if people had more money to buy them, more time to read them. Obvious solutions would be to make books cheaper and shorter. For most publishers either course is close to impossible. For magazine publishers who can buy the right to boil down books, the problem is not so tough...
