Those modifications made Promoter Harriman virtual overlord of Soviet manganese production...
There are several grounds, common-place enough in the talk of the day, why these fellowships are so highly prized and why not only educators but publicists also praise them so highly.

...publication, supporting the loan and fellowship funds and improving the quality rather than the quantity of education. In this direction the School has already gone very far. In voting to reduce student numbers next fall and in introducing Honors Courses this year, the Faculty announced its determination to restrict its efforts to giving the best students obtainable the most thorough training possible. This year we have had 55 men in Honors Courses, working individually or in small groups under the supervision of the instructor, on important and practical legal problems. The results of this work have been so gratifying that...
