...called strike at General Motors is not one strike, but a collection of strikes, some of which have been in progress many weeks and others of which have started only since about the turn of the year. Many of those strikes do not seem to have been called in any regular fashion by submitting the question to a secret ballot of Union members. In several plants a few employees seem to have started the strike by the "sit down" method, thus stopping the flow of work and preventing the rest of the plants from working.

...Chicago's Century of Progress Exhibition, the State of Indiana commissioned him to do a gigantic panorama which was one of the outstanding hits of the Fair, now lies in a warehouse waiting a permanent home. Missourians suddenly remembered that Tom Benton was a native son, urged him to come home and do a job of work for the State House. Artist Benton agreed to decorate the Representatives' Lounge...

Neither the analytical casuistry of Regent Gates nor the rhetorical thunderbolts of Regent Wilkie can disguise this fact. True, the most notable of Frank's attempted reforms, the Experimental College, failed to achieve the success originally expected. But a man should not be pilloried for the failure of an experiment, especially when the University profited by the lessons learned. The attempts of lay Regents to prove that the University has slipped do not ring true when confronted by the unanimous contrary opinion of competent educators...
