...Secretary of Agriculture Wallace's scalp because he refused to believe that inflation was a cureall. Even conservative members of the Administration were recommending a quick burst of paper money as the only practical way of silencing the inflationary clamor. "'I am unexcited and intend to remain so," President Roosevelt, up from a sick bed, told callers who asked him what he proposed to do about the currency. But by the end of the week he had begun to act. The President received a delegation of southern Congressmen and planters whose demand for 20? cotton had been shunted...
Until last year the position of the average commuter was rather unfortunate. Compelled usually to remain around Harvard during most of the day for classes, special library study, or athletics, he found himself with no common, congenial place to meet his fellow commuters and eat with them, to study and read, or even simply to relax. Phillips Brooks House made a commendable effort to meet these needs, but its facilities are naturally limited, and what arrangements have been made are admittedly only temporary.

Surely there will come a time when men will leave Harvard knowing more than their grades...
...economic conquest of the sugar resources was completed and as we turned our eyes to more pressing affairs, here and in Europe. But now with the violent removal of Butcher Machado, the United States becomes once more amusedly interested in Cuba Libre. And it is likely to remain so, for Cuba has now been torn into such utterly discordant groups that plenty of trouble can be expected. The island has a powerful labor movement on one side, an intermediate Fascist sect, an army divided amongst itself, and in the background American interests which are sure to intervene if the workers...
