...forth in TIME last week although not then agreed upon, it was that Sweden and Czechoslovakia should resign their Council seats, after which the assembly should elect Poland and "a neutral" (The Netherlands) to fill, these vacancies. That Sweden and Czechoslovakia should have been brought to offer such a sacrifice well illustrates the very real desire for compromise among the nations...
...which may be called consumer value and consumer utility. It will probably be true that if an established, well-rated concern has been selling over a period of years to a market which has favorably reacted to the presentation of its goods, that those same goods will offer a high degree of consumer value and utility, otherwise they would not have endured. This test, however, must be made. The goods that are offered must be offered at a fair price, and by a fair price I mean one that is not inconsistent with the value which they can give. They...
Last week the Treasury announced an offering of $500,000,000 of 20-30-year bonds to bear 3 3/4 % interest and to be purchased by the public at 100%.

Accordingly a committee of ten students was appointed whose interests were sufficiently varied to make them fairly representative of the students at large. For live months the committee, has studied the question, has gathered information, has served as a clearing house for suggestions...
...present system of distribution contains no solution for the problem of specialization. A superficial knowledge of the subject matter in several fields does not offer the needed broadening and training of minds which the situation in colleges calls for. I would suggest rather a compromise study of some related whole which would have as its primary object the training of speed and accuracy in the student mind rather than the filling of it with great amounts of subject matter. We might for instance, devote the whole Freshman year to a study of one period in Greek history...
