...Plan's first office last November in the rear of a Long Beach real estate salesroom, with a one-legged man as assistant, a Salvation Army protege as janitor. Success was quick. California's myriad oldsters came in masses to his meetings. By thousands they bought his 25� pamphlet. They sent the word back East to the old home-folks...
...last week the flow of money from the pamphlet and contributions was enough to pay the wages of 50 people working in his Long Beach office. There were Townsend Clubs in every State except Delaware?644 clubs in all, 200 in California alone. Between 2,000,000 and 5,000,000 people had put their names to petitions begging their Congressmen to vote the Plan into effect at once.

Yet the Alumni Bulletin, which portrays Harvard in soft tones to its graduates, criticizes this right when we apply it directly to the courses listed in the catalogue...
Members of this year's Freshman class are the first to have received at their homes before the opening of College a pamphlet containing advice from "the editors of the CRIMSON" as to the choices of courses in College. In previous years this advice has been limited to the pages of the CRIMSON itself; this year it appears with a "foreword" by Dolmar Leighton, '19, Dean of Freshmen.
