Of his Roosevelt criticism. Banker Warburg wrote: "I make no retractions." Of Republicans: "It is impossible for me to support an opposition which either will not or cannot recognize that economic nationalism lies at the root of our great difficulties...
Another problem that the Faculty is dealing with is the demand to make the Law School course four years instead of the present three. There has been a wide-spread feeling that with the recent growth of the whole body of law three years is insufficient time to cover it adequately. The addition of another year to the Law course was advocated by Roscoe Pound, who resigned recently as Faculty Dean, in one of his last reports...
Unquestionably the recent ruling will go a long way to combat the traditional amaze in which the first year man finds himself when faced with the problem of choosing a House.

S. readers detailed pictures of the worlds of modern diplomacy, politics, the labor movement, of feminists, spies, social leaders, patronesses of art, expatriate writers, journalists. Last week a blank space in this growing record of current experience was filled in with a sober, conscientious, 678-page study of the world of radical U. S. intellectuals. Almost too long for its burden of events, too short for its burden of ideas, An American Testament pictures an environment that no other autobiographer has described so fully-the shifting, seething little world of impoverished...
