...fair to say that this initial opposition has been successfully broached and now the word tutorial is significant of a cooperative and not a one-side effort. The second barrier is that stressed by Mr. Aiken--the unification of the results of the tutorial system. As matters stand now the tutorial assistance offered students meets with no adequate appreciation until the Senior year, when it is brought to bear on the incipient graduate with such force that he cannot help but realize its usefulness. Mere attendance on courses could hardly have equipped him for such a bird's eye view...
When one has once accepted this extremely politic stand the remainder of his ruminations follow in a much more logical and scientific manner. The root of this presumed evil lies, obviously, in too inclusive entrance methods; therefore Mr. Angell advances various aids to the enforcement of a selective process. Most of those listed by him have been tried with a greater or less degree of success. One thing is certain--Mr. Angell endorses such a pruning of registration lists but while doing so he also realizes that there can be no wholesale method. Each institution must adjust its own mechanics...
...less heroic than the captains who go down with their ships are the radio and wireless operators who stand by their instruments to the last, tapping out distress signals. There is always the chance that another craft just over the horizon will pick up the little clicking cries that tell the name of the disabled ship, the latitude and longitude of its position. Often the rescuer will arrive in time to save those who have been dropped over the side of the sinking vessel in bobbing lifeboats. Among them he probably will not find the wireless operator who has held...
...this respect the loss of W. L. Storey '30, last year's Freshman bulwark, through ineligibility will undoubtedly prove a serious handicap. J. E. Barrett '30, Storey's running mate last year, is the leading prospect for relief work. He is the solid, powerful type of tackle who can stand and administer plenty of rough treatment. H. L. Levin '29, T. H. Alcock 28, and F. Z. Davis '30 are the other tackles on the University squad. Levin rose from the class ranks to Second team standing last year, and this year looms as one of the best University substitute...
...proposed new treaty to secure better terms for her luxury trade?per-fumes, toilet wares, gems, fake and real. In other words, what she is trying to force is the acceptance of the principle of reciprocity. If the U. S. refuses to lower its tariffs, the French rates will stand. The French rates now roughly approximate, on an ad valorem basis, those levied by the U. S. "Cut your tariffs and we will cut ours," is virtually the French slogan. However, the U. S. tariff law was expressly designed to guard against reciprocity and its provisions are not capable...
