Williams President James Phinney Baxter III ('14) is chairman of a group of U.S. college presidents concerned with postwar reforms in liberal education. The group favors simplifying college-entrance requirements for war veterans; reducing the importance of lectures (since many postwar students will have had richer personal experience than many a college instructor); more use of primary source materials as against textbook boning; stress on teaching rather than on research work by faculty members; increased use of individual instruction methods...
...small room (1,000 cu. ft.), molasses, ammonia, water, air and yeast were being mixed. Every twelve hours this mixture produced a ton of good rich meat-nearly as succulent as the sirloin steak it takes two years to raise on the hoof, much cheaper, and much richer in proteins and vitamins. Furthermore, this new synthetic meat is so easy to make that its inventors already look forward to performing a modern miracle of the loaves & fishes after the war among the foodless peoples of the world...
Bearded Soil. Farmer Faulkner is sure, on the basis of these results, that abandonment of the moldboard plow would result in immensely richer crops-without artificial fertilizer, lime, insecticides or even cultivating. His method, says he, would ultimately conquer insects (because bugs would find the crops less tasty) and weeds (because they would be killed off as they came up; weed seeds would not be buried and stored for future trouble, as they are by the plow). To the anticipated objection by most farmers that Faulkner's "bearded" soil would be harder to handle than clean plowed land, Faulkner...
This huge vaudeville is a richer and stranger mixture than the late B. F. Keith ever devised. High sentiments are compounded with Harpo Marx's ogling of the girls. No sooner has Ray Bolger done some hilarious hoofing than hard-working Gracie Fields sings Albert Hay Malotte's soulful version of The Lord's Prayer. No sooner has Edgar Bergen traded wisecracks with his lively pieces of lumber, Charlie McCarthy and Mortimer Snerd, than Katharine Cornell engages in a bit of Romeo and Juliet with a soldier who remembers his Shakespeare. Ethel Waters has scarcely finished syncopating...
...world of V-Day is no richer in applied wisdom than the world of M-Day, this further calculation can be made. There will be no way except charity to put Europe quickly back on its feet again. International charity must inevitably soon run thin. When the U.S., for one, ceases to give goods away it will suffer from unemployment, despite and because of its vastly expanded productive capacity. Moreover, European and Asiatic collapse will be on a far greater scale than they were when U.S. relief and financial first aid dried up in the early...
