...correct a statement in Thursday morning's Crimson to the effect that Professor Harold J. Laski left Harvard under pressure following the Sacco-Vanzetti case? Laski was called to London in 1920, some time before the Sacco-Vanzetti case reached the headlines. Such "pressure" as may have hastened his departure was a result of his activities in the Boston police strike, in the autumn...

Although the Massachusetts guide was denounced by Governor Hurley for its reference to the Sacco-Vanzetti Case, less sensitive readers judged the books' objective viewpoint as fair enough, only wished more recent history had been included, fewer catalogues of colonial worthies, dutiful essays on wild life. In the attempt to fulfill their triple intention of being readable, authoritative and practical, the guides sometimes fall between...
