Able, hard-working James Herbert Case Jr., Wall Streeter turned educator, left the presidency of Washington and Jefferson College nine years ago to take over a lively problem school: tiny (295 students) Bard College in Annandale-on-Hudson, N.Y. Bard was broke; a onetime experimental affiliate of Columbia University, it was left with more teachers than it could adequately pay. Case moved in with a sure hand.

...farmers, the Journal is a tireless, effective crusader on issues great and small. In 1953, within six months after the magazine had demanded, "Let's Make 'Em Cook Raw Garbage" (to kill the vesicular exanthema virus that can infect hogs), 28 states enacted appropriate laws. Currently, Editor Streeter is busily engaged in a crusade in which the stakes are no less than the future of the American farmer, afflicted as he is by a self-defeating Government program that this fiscal year is costing the U.S. taxpayer a scandalous $5.4 billion. Stabbing out articles with two fingers...
