Also in "The New Student" is a slap-dash attempt to prove that American universities are in the toils of Big Business, based mostly on a quasi-review of a book which appeared two years ago.

But SEC's action in Philadelphia would not necessarily put a crimp in them. Two other money-raisers in New York got around SEC by filing details of their schemes (registering) with the agency. So long as they told all the facts, SEC could do nothing to stop them...
