...paramount objection to a plan so extensive in its scope is likely to be the cost. To build the first unit on the DeWolf Street frontage, as the report suggests, instead of on the vacant lot behind Gore, would involve the demolition of almost a block of houses. This would add something to the expense but the advantage of the project seem to outweigh any expenditure incurred by tearing down a few frame and brick structures. Furthermore, while the report stipulates the purchase of the plot bounded by the Smith Halls, Dunster, Boylston, and Mt. Auburn Streets, this acquisition...
British Monroe Doctrine. Advocates of treaty reservations point out that sev eral of the signatories have already sharply defined their individual attitudes regarding the agreement's scope and meaning. Great Britain, for example, has issued (TIME, July 30) a very sweeping statement that her right to self-defense includes the right to take whatever measures ap pear necessary in whatever portion of the world British safety may be threatened. Senator Borah said that the Chamberlain note meant nothing at all, inasmuch as it guaranteed to Great Britain nothing that was not already implicit in the treaty...
Howard Earle Coffin, retired motors tycoon, bought Sapeloe 17 years ago and developed it the way other tycoons (Goulds, McAlpins, Rockefellers, Drexels, Fords, Carnegies, du Ponts, et al.) have developed Jekyl, St. Simon's and other Golden Islands.* He built a mansion Spanish in style, Southern in rambling scope.

Through no imaginable chance should the President be "skunked" again on his next shooting foray if he makes it on Sapeloe...
They heard a symphony which has for its scope the story of the development of America, the definition of its powers. "O America, because you build for mankind, I build for you." Thus did Composer Bloch quote from Walt Whitman on the flyleaf of his score. Then for the first movement, under the head "1620," come sound pictures of colonial days, of Indians hearing the mournful call of death, of pilgrims arriving jubilantly in answer to the first loud, clear call of America (the theme is easily marked as the outstanding one in the anthem). Dark days come...
Such cases deal with only a small fraction of the courses in the college, and those few outside the intended scope of the innovation. There are more fundamental problems that will have to be met and at least a beginning made towards overcoming during this second year. The professor must cover his field and still allow the student time for some independent work, according to one of the avowed objects of the plan. A balance will have to be found between the necessity of testing the work done in the examinations following and the granting of liberty to each...
