...enough to learn, belongs to the state alone. No sharing is possible. Maybe this will be judged Spartan doctrine carried to an extreme. One can not deny, however, that it is clear. We are in process of reconstructing Italy?a great Italy! It is a colossal task such as I do not believe has often been tried. The antique city [of Rome]has nothing in common with the nation of more than 43,000,000 inhabitants...

Society has found the crime evil a knotty problem through the ages; to give a problem new names, to classify it as sociological or a task for students of human relations, will not solve it. The Criminal Law Institute, frankly seeking the aid of other departments of the University, bids fair to turn out well-grounded and trained administrators who should be of distinct benefit to the communities in which they serve...
