This year, the beginning of a fourth century for Harvard and an eighth decade for the "Advocate," looks rather bright from the weather work quarters on Bow Street, Advocate House. Subscriptions, articles, series, and some rather weak verse are filling up, and it would seem that haughty Mother Advocate has definitely recovered from her tussle with the Cambridge vice squad over some certain salacity last fall...

He grows less enthusiastic about the Roosevelt regime, it is true; he wishes the President would at last make complete statements of his reform program and of his budget policy; but he does not reverse himself on fundamental questions of executive power or economic policy. Once Mr. Lippmann favored the League of Nations-- that was long ago, in the hopeful twenties. Now he swallows without regret the Senate's rejection of the World Court, and sees withdrawal from European entanglements...
