...country does. Now, it takes a student as long to get his Bachelor of Architecture degree at Harvard as the time needed for a master's at M.I.T. or Pennsylvania. But both students and faculty agree that a liberal arts training is necessary to an architect and planner, who must be able to comprehend all of man's environment in order to build for him. Some will argue, however, that there should be more practical rather than general courses in the college training, and Stubbins feels the University should arrange with other colleges to take their students in the junior...

Hoffman proposed the European Payments Union (EPU), to do two things: 1) "liberalize" European trade by curing its ancient plague of import quotas and exchange controls; 2) act as a central clearinghouse through which the 18 Marshall Plan countries could make all their trading payments. The U.S. put up $350 million to get the bank started; 18 members opened accounts, and EPU was in business, with a two-year lease...
