...Music Department is apparently ready and eager to teach music: this is cannot do with any conspicuous degree of success while it is struggling to function with inadequate facilities, and an under-manned personnel. The panacca for these ailments is, of course, more money. The problem of who is to get what share of tercentenary spoils is a ticklish one: there are certain crying needs which cannot be overlooked, and the Music Department's is one of them...
...keep out of war is at best a complicated problem. Economic rivalry, racial and class hatred, propaganda of powerful interests, and the shibboleth of "national honor", all combine to warp the individual's judgment, especially in times of tension.

Two alternatives are left; wait for the more conservative members to die, or amend the Constitution. If the President is willing to wait several...
...Republican party is, therefore, presented with more than a problem of its own welfare; it is faced with obligations to the whole nation. There was and is today, more than ever, a basic issue in "personal government" but it must be approached carefully and intelligently. Blanket, hysterical charges, typical of the last six weeks of the campaign, proved indigestible to large numbers of liberals, and scare tactics aimed at stampeding voters proved to be boomerangs...
