Herr Hitler says that those who do not conduct themselves for the advancement of National Socialism will be exterminate. Dr. Butler phrases it somewhat more subtly (perhaps that is the advantage of a college education): "Those whose convictions are of such a character as to bring their conduct in open conflict with the University's freedom to go its way towards its lofty aim should . . . withdraw...

...first trial in Minnesota. At Cass Lake, at the town of Mahnomen, at many another where wild rice is sold to brokers, Chippewas and whites are celebrating the new moon of Mah-No-Men with street fairs and carnivals. Frank Broker meantime kept his eye on the wide, shallow lakes and their waving tops of grain. As in the old days, no Chippewa dared go into the fields until the tribal chieftain announced that the rice was ripe for harvest. This year Chippewas and whites alike awaited Frank Broker's word...
