...Soviet Union entered 1938 by starting on a third. The Gosplan or State Planning Commission made last April the preliminary blanket announcement in Pravda and Izvestia that the second Five-Year Plan had been "over-fulfilled in four years and three months." and public celebrations took place throughout the Soviet Union. Economists of the embassies and legations in Moscow, who had seen this happen before, sat back and waited for the detailed official statistics on the second Five-Year Plan to be issued several months later...
Dispatches last week reported from Moscow that widespread deterioration of machine tools throughout the Soviet Union during 1937 has apparently been due to too great "speedup" efforts under the system called Stakhanovism (TIME, Dec. 16, 1935). The Economic Council of the Soviet Cabinet investigated last week a case in which Joseph Stalin himself had apparently been hoaxed.

Only once a year is there a party in the true "college" sense--the Freshman Jubilee, late in May. It is the great Freshman Class dance. Since Freshman classes now number about 1,000 each year, the Jubilee is always a huge, sprawling affair with two orchestras, usually given in a huge, sprawling building, the Union, near the Yard. (Bear in mind that Harvard has a Yard, not a campus. All within...
