...exert such an influence. Some motion has already been made to give the instructors a chance to express their own tastes in the particular kind of work they are to teach. In the second half year the various sections of the course pursue specialized lines of study. But, in spite of this, I believe there is need for a much greater individual opportunity. Now that only the inferior Freshmen are required to take English A, the instructor's task in the course has become even less attractive than formerly, and it is more essential that the section men should...
Armour & Co. (who last week announced that it would sell its stockyards properties as it had in 1920 agreed with the Government to do)-$538,175.-Pre-vious year-$8,148,570.

...this ribald and entertaining, albeit disrespectful opus Ernest Boyd sets out to fire the whiskers of several highly respected lit'ry gents of the classic English school, and in spite of the fact that a good deal of what he says is patently untrue, or at least misleading, it must be admitted that his theses are never anything but plausible. The best traditions of English letters seem to present to him an endless and enchanting vista of abstract crockery to be broken with loud pagan snorts and bellows, and while he not infrequently builds an elaborate argument of disproof where...
