...matrix department of a type- setting machine there are only one-half as many matrices (type molds) for zeros as there are for the letter "e." Ordinarily that supply is ample for run-of-mill newspaper copy. But since the New Deal, newspaper copy has been anything but ordinary. It deals glibly in millions, billions of Federal appropriations, relief expenditures, debts, tax receipts, budget estimates. A dozen lines of a Washington dispatch may contain close to 100 ciphers...
However, there is room for a type of general concentration which would include two or more of the present "fields." The experiment of combining History and Literature is a proved success, with many more students clamoring to be admitted than is possible under the present limitations.

...Harvard continues to ignore the present trend toward a system of justice premised on sociological, political, and economic factors, and nourishes a type of teacher who considers Justice standardized, it is doomed, as all lawyers and legal systems which have failed to meet the requirements of society have been doomed. For the function of the lawyer--and above all the lawyer-teacher--is not only to teach what is the law and what its historical development has been, but also upon what the law as an expression of Justice is based. And in anticipation of our critics...
