...recent past the CRIMSON has proposed economies beyond the library which would permit reopening the reading room during the reading and examination periods. If these are not convincing arguments, and it is only too obvious that a great many important people still wish to remain convinced, then there is another economy, this time internal, which might well be brought into play. Has it never occurred to Widener officials, during their conversations on this subject, that there is in their employ a body of about twenty men, whose jobs were created, whose time is at the disposal of the library...
Since the large size of the course and the general mediocrity of the section men prohibits organization of the course on the model of French 6, in which fairly small classes meet under competent men three times a week, the obvious way to get rid of the ungainly professorial chorines participating in the revue is to entrust the course to one interested man, who would give at least two, perhaps three lectures a week throughout the year. Only in this way can the unity and coherence so necessary and so lacking now be gained. A comparable system gives excellent results...

The value to the University of having a man handle its publicity who enjoys the confidence of the organs through which that publicity is disseminated, is too obvious to need emphasis. Mr. Nichols won that confidence in the face of a natural antagonism, and a long tradition that the Secretary for Information was really a secretary for the suppression of information. His work resulted in Harvard's enjoying a more favorable press than it had enjoyed in years...
...upturn in business by litigants claiming that the national (or state or local) emergency has ceased to exist? The most likely answer is that the Courts will place more and more reliance upon the opinion of the legislatures in this matter. The dangerous consequences of this tendency are too obvious to bear description. Victor H. Kramer...
