...right and what is wrong in such cases may not always be perfectly obvious; and it may not always be perfectly easy to do one's duty; but difficulties far more serious arise in the manager's relations with other people. Take such matters as injurious trades, unhealthy tenements, unfair competition with rivals, oppressive treatment of employees, dishonest products, disregard of the public safety or comfort, dealing with public authorities which, even if not corrupt, are unconscionable. It is in questions of this kind that the evils of absentee-ownership are felt today. The investor does not inquire into them...

The chief reason for this recommendation is that the standard of rowing in the four-oared is nearly equal to that in the eight-oared race, and it seems manifestly unfair that the awarding of the "H" depend entirely upon the chance of being able to row a little faster that Yale over a two-mile course.

It would probably simplify and accelerate the office affairs if each man summoned were given a specific time to call, so arranged...
