...useful to attempt an examination of the influence which recent tax measures may have upon the basic conditions that determine the status and development of the American economy." Such is the purpose of the work. The first part is an analysis of the various and conflicting factors and trends, the net result of which is the familiar thesis that the need for savings and capital investment in America is on the decline, and that in the future long-run we are faced with a problem of over-saving.

...Student Council is to be complimented for its original penetration into the budgetary set-up, which activity supplements the recent report on the promotions problem, the University is at the same time open to justifiable indictment for permitting the existence of one-sided academic scales. Its first move should be to pour enough gold onto the other side of the scales for a perfect balance.

More bluntly, Businessman Jones charged them with letting businessmen down, demanded that they do something to remove the impression prevalent among businessmen that educators were "persistently questioning the continued usefulness to society...
...when books are banned it is usually by action of municipal authorities, as Boston's mayor once stopped the sale of Dreiser's American Tragedy, or as the mayor of Omaha, Neb. more recently clamped down on Mari Sandoz' Slogum House. In England books that come under official displeasure are usually withdrawn by the publishers; in European dictatorships their circulation is forbidden by the state. Recent book bans...
