...clear that he was in no way attacking his father. At one meeting which he addressed he was introduced with A. E. MacDonald as Comrade Oliver Baldwin, son of the present Prime Minister, while MacDonald was the son of the "future Prime Minister, Ramsay MacDonald." Oliver said the only thing the Government had done was to wrongfully arrest a number of people and then have to pay them compensation (TIME, May 19).

If at times the Student Council has seemed unrelated to its Committees on Scholarship and on Student Advisors or even its Executive Committee; if the Athletic Committee has seemed a thing apart from the great Graduate. Advisory Committees; many a sub-committee of Congress, similarly, has seemed at times to overshadow its parent body. When such a condition is carried too far it becomes dangerous; power and responsibility are no longer in the same hands. But there have been signs recently...
