...Cross '12, one of the outstanding Faculty advocates of greater flexibility in dealing with the tenure problem, argues the proposition that the new style Associate Professorships should be utilized to meet the educational needs which have already become apparent in the brief life of the new dispensation.

If a sound comes in at an angle, the slight time lag in the receivers causes the listener to hear it louder in one ear than...
