...French or Italian lines now, even when I'm on my way to England. I suppose there is no class of men with so much concentrated snobbishness, lordy-dordy and hoity-toity as the officers on British liners. When it comes to deck games they are the poorest sports I know-and brag the loudest about their sportsmanship. MATHEW GEORGIN...

The recognition of the importance of securing financial security for the class that is notoriously one of the poorest paid is welcome to all those interested in the progress of American education. Any steps towards building up this weakest link in the system as it stands today are valuable, and Yale is to be congratulated on having instituted such a valuable endowment. It comes after a series of salary raises, and should help carry on the progress...
