...fair rate of interest on government deposits. Certainly the British government, which needs funds more acutely than ours, should not think of profiteering at the expense of the Bank of England in any such way. Before a theoretically correct rediscount policy can be pursued by the Reserve Banks, such unjust and publicly harmful anomalies as this excessive "franchise tax" must be removed from the Reserve Act itself...
...Campus pictures its own Liberal Club as a group of young, bearded Bolshevists, who, in the words of one in authority, "like all Liberals, can only see one side of the question." We might venture an opinion, here, that both the conception and the remark are unjust. The Yale Liberal Club was ostensibly organized for the purpose of discussion, in an effort to see both sides of the question. Of course no one knows what actually does transpire behind its closed doors. Probably a good many sacred things are slandered, for youth is naturally impetuous and ungentlemanly...
...shrewd reminder of a point that is often overlooked in the discussion. Many a student who needs financial aid and whose scholastic standing and personal character would fully entitle him to it, may also happen to be a superior athlete. Just because of this fact, and the fear of unjust suspicion, the University is embarrassed in giving him the aid which he was earned, and which he would quickly receive if he were not so unfortunate as to be a good football player or "crack" track...
...discoveries which led the authorities at Princeton to disqualify several of their best known and most skilful players. The disqualification, already determined at Princeton by Princeton alone was promptly reported to the Committee of the Three Chairmen. Like every other act of the kind, it was assailed as unjust by those who did not know the circumstances; and it gave rise, naturally enough, to new suspicions regarding the athletes of Yale and Harvard. Every athlete named by anybody to the Harvard Committee as suspected of receiving illegitimate aid was looked up as carefully as circumstances permitted. Brief reports...
...action to keep workers from organizing into unions if they so desire is manifestly unjust. I believe that the idea of the menace of a one hundred percent organized labor unit is vastly over-emphasized, and will create no greater disturbing element than a partly union and partly non-union working body. An ultimate organization of the producers is inevitable in the economic struggle which we are facing, and I believe it is equally inevitable that such an organization will win out. The power thus thrown into the hands of the workingman will necessarily create some difficulties, but none comparable...
