...natural for a college man going into business to wish to start his work immediately on graduation. Two years spent in the Business School may seem to put him two years behind the man who begins work immediately, especially, since it does not necessarily relieve him of the drudgery of "starting at the foot of the ladder." The value of the School lies in its power to show a man the real meaning and the real opportunities of a business, so that with equal ability he should be able to accomplish more and be of greater value than his less...
...nominated for Governor of New York, and his vigorous campaign resulted in more than doubling the Socialist vote of the state. He is the editor of a widely read Socialist weekly, "The Coming Nation," and has published numerous articles in other magazines, notably the "World's Work."

That is, there is very little "graft" in Harvard athletics. But this is not news; no one would have suspected a prevalence of petty graft in the situation. The main question at issue is one of spirit...
...their purport was that on any fine afternoon Soldiers Field and the river can show a greater number engaged in outdoor sport than would have been dreamed of ten years ago. According to this view the most welcome item in that $127,000 budget is the $10,600 spent for "permanent improvements," and the most significant thing about Mr. Gill's article is that if, as he believes, there really is "a bare possibility of saving . . . $4,500 at best by actually cutting out purely extravagant and wasteful expenditures," we could have put $15,000 into Soldiers Field instead...
