There has been a growing conviction among educators of late--a common conviction which has almost assumed the proportions of a trend--that this process has exceeded its proper limits. Even Mr. Hutchins and Mr. Conant, who are more comfortable glaring at each other across a ring, stand united on this point. Specialization, so they say, has gone too far when each separate field loses its meaning. Scholars have lost the true perspective; they no longer perceive the vital relations between the individual branches of learning. Education has become a meaningless chaos of information...
...starts half way through "One O'Clock Jump," and ends up playing "Two O'Clock Jump" (Brunswick). The brass section plays too softly. Just a bit louder, and one could do away with the chapel bell . . . Asked Joe Jones, Count Basie's drummer, the other day how he could stand playing the pop tunes that all bands must.

According to the Crimson, "If elections were to be abolished by the decision rendered today; it would be mechanically impossible for the morrow's voting to be constitutionally discontinued. This is the extent to which the Student Council is confident of a confirmation for its stand." At this writing, Monday afternoon, I do not know how the referendum is going to turn, out. I do know that if the Nays have it, the Council tonight will constitutionally amend the by-laws so as to abolish the elections. By-laws may be amended, added, or deleted...
