...mostly they worried. From Sunday night, when they sought out restaurants where Scotch-&-sodas were served in coffee-cups, the 1,000 delegates, 1,000 alternates, the thousands on thousands of heelers, promoters, wives, newshawks, tag-along citizens worried steadily, through the five days and four nights of the Convention.

The Student Council in a recent report sought to correct excessive concentration by backing the "area" proposal, which would involve distribution of courses among three divisions--natural sciences, social sciences, and humanities. Perhaps an institutional reform along these lines will take place some day soon; meanwhile the Class of 1943 must do its own reforming. Its members should select their distribution courses with an eye to sampling each of the three areas...
