...report on allergic children [TIME, April 18] provokes serious reflection. After over 30 years of active medical practice I can say with utmost conviction that the specimen cases cited in the report which you quote are evidently children who have been poorly brought up, either by ignorant and indifferent parents or, more likely, by mothers who regard themselves as "progressive"-young ladies who swear by Freud and know all there is to know about inhibitions, complexes and the subconscious ego.

This activity will be "something like a Freshman smoker," Class officials say, with free beer and entertainment by the Class. But any informal gathering of seniors on Class Day, especially with the accompaniment of a beverage, will undoubtedly have more of a kinship to was sails of the past than to a Freshman smoker. It remains to be seen, of course, whether or not this projected...
