Above the Führer flew 162 warplanes in formation. Before him passed in review for four hours the flower of his Army, some 40,000 men in full fighting regalia. With them passed the grimmest, most impressive war machines that Nazi Germany could muster-tanks, artillery, armored cars. Interested foreign military attaches saw little new equipment, but the representatives of small, trembling States could scarcely fail to be impressed...
...tutoring schools is to prepare students for Harvard's tough written examinations (which largely determine a student's grade in most courses). Housed around Harvard Square, the tutoring schools coach students in groups or individually, cram a full course into a few tense hours, sell review notes, other crutches, charge up to $4 an hour. Where once William Whiting ("The Widow") Nolen had a monopoly of this enterprise, today nine full-fledged tutoring schools flourish in Harvard Square. The Crimson charged that some tutoring schools supplied students with ready-written term papers and theses, steered students into snap...

Most disturbing fact: in Esthonia, esthetic censors banned several Hollywood films for mere banality...
...Overseer of the University attends a Wolff review, he is giving his benediction to the tutoring racket. It is bad enough that Harvard is indifferent to the evils; but it is infinitely worse when an official representative condones them. Mr. Bacon's ignorance is hardly a valid excuse. But perhaps his peccadillo did grow out of the belief that establishments like Wolff's are legitimate tutoring enterprises. There is a common attitude hereabouts that tutoring accords with accepted educational theory and practice. This attitude assumes that, while there are some vicious practices in the Square, most of the work...
