...ocracies. And since Economics A is the present prerequisite, there seems small reason why that requirement could not be altered to allow any student with a satisfactory background in Economics to undertake the course. That background could easily be acquired through even a brief study of some text of basic principles...
Twenty-five copies of the two-volume text "Theory and Practice of Modern Government," by Herbert Finer, have been secured by the Freshman library for use of first-year students of Government 1, it was announced last night by Miss Florence Milner, librarian. The acquisition of these books and of additional copies of the other texts required for Government 1, following publication in yesterday's CRIMSON of a letter dealing with the high price of books for this course, inaugurates a new policy for the Freshman library...
Although this column has already held a great many protests, I should like to add one more to the through--this time against the unfair price charged for books in Government 1. These text books, not in stock, for the most part, in the second-hand bookshops of Cambridge, are a serious drain on the pockets of most Government students, the total cost, to date, being thirty-three dollars--fourteen the first half-year, nineteen the second.

The total cost...

One article had pictures of a man beaming over a champagne goblet, a girl toying with an aperitif; but the text pointed a moral. Entitled "I Fell Off the Water Wagon," it was the testimonial of a middle-aged man who reached the final conclusion that drink is a curse. Apparently that was enough alcohol in one issue for Editor Lorimer. On Page 7 illustrating another story appeared a picture...
