...gift of $2,000,000 from Mr. Lucius N. Littauer for the purpose, the university authorities are going ahead with plans for the new school based on the commission's recommendations, and the country is soon to witness a wholly new "educational adventure." We have no doubt it will watch its progress with the keenest of interest and with every hope of its success...

Last June, Congress passed the Copeland Sea Safety Bill, which went into effect Dec. 26. The bill specifies such limitations as an eight-hour, three-watch day, that 65%, of the deck force have A.
