National elections were pending. Frank W. Taussig, Felix Frankfurter and sixteen other professors out of twenty-five polled by the CRIMSON extolled Roosevelt; the University listened and then supported Hoover 3-2 in the annual straw vote. Three weeks later the country went along with the professors. In post-election analysis, Arthur N. Holcombe '06, professor of Government, decided that Herbert Hoover ought to resign before March 4--as so many people were urging--since "Roosevelt could not get a new Congress with which to work, and therefore it would be useless." The CRIMSON had already decided that it made...
...Sixteen cases of ale and forty of beer went on tap around the Houses as the impassioned battle for the joys of 3.2 beer came to an end. Around the turn of the year Harvard's first liquor license in 100 years made it legal to serve to over-21's at the dining tables.

...rest of his life observing them and writing about them in more than 25 books; of pneumonia; in New Haven. Conn. In his three best-known works.

With the exception of Williams' article, the recent special issue of Cambridge 38 presents a fairly solid, informative introduction to African political and economic problems. All sixteen articles are of course couched in general terms, and gloss over important differences between African states. I found Martin Kilson's study of single-party governments most interesting; it is a concise explanation of the authoritarian single-party system, which, the author rightly concludes, "will become a general pattern in African states." A second most interesting contributing is the article on African law, by Boston lawyer Archibald McColl, which, like Elliot Berg...
...Harvard and Radcliffe students earning the highest grades on the course's hour exam were both in the general education group. Of the top sixteen grades on the exam, nine were made by general education students, five by science concentrators, and two by undecided students. This is despite the fact that there is only a very slight different between the sizes of the two groups. Wald said he began the course with the hypothesis that the best introduction to biology for general education students should also be the best introduces for the prospective concentrator." I see that this...
