...achieve a higher faculty pay scale, legislative approval had to be obtained. Last spring, the university's administration doubled tuition, from $100 to $200 for state residents, to make the pay hike possible. Massachusetts actually profited by the change. Some additional $644,000 would have been obtained, and only $479,000 disbursed to the faculty. Bill 1030, the pay-raise proposal, seemed certain of passage. Governor Foster Furcolo deliberated a special message ("high quality public education is the Commonwealth's greatest natural resource"); President Mather stumped the state and appeared before the powerful Committee on Education; and students rallied...
...double-cross of the first order." President Mather minced no words in expressing his opinion of members of the State Senate following the defeat of the pay increase. "After all, we cannot attract professors with fresh air and a small town atmosphere. And the idea of a 'dedicated teacher' who completely ignores his salary is a great deal of bunk," Mather cuttingly remarked.

The entire bowling business, i.e., investments in alleys, bowling equipment and fees, will gross more than a billion dollars in 1959 for the first time. New bowlers are increasing at the rate of 12%-14% a year. The rules-making American Bowling Congress' paid membership has jumped to 3,250,000 this year from 1,500,000 five years ago, and the number of A.B.C. certified lanes in the U.S. has increased to 87,475 from...
...hero, Serezha, has come to visit his sister, and soon falls asleep. In a kind of Proustian reverie, he sleepwalks through events of the past-particularly through the fatefully serene prewar summer of 1914, which the young Pasternak nostalgically calls "that last summer when life appeared to pay heed to individuals, and when it was easier and more natural to love than to hate...
