...greatest strengths is its very experimental nature: having no precedent in Chinese education, it must learn as it goes along. Said he last week, looking across his growing campus-still only two dormitories and four classrooms set into the raw, red earth of the hillside: "Pioneering will be our watchword...
Goya had wriggled out of his old, gregarious personality. He emerged as the dour genius the world now knows. In the fading, Baroque art of Goya's day, charm was the watchword. Goya brushed charm aside; he no longer cared to please. Throughout his career, he had listened to others' orders and carried them out amiably enough. Now he no longer heard his orders; he gradually ceased to obey, and even to reply.

Dean Jerald Carl Brauer is only 33, and the faculty he heads includes seven members under 40 and 13 more under 50.

The gestures helped-only eight months ago economists were predicting total economic collapse...
...time when economy is the watchword of the U.S. Government, the spending to stockpile "critical and strategic" defense materials has been greatly increased. Defense Mobilizer Arthur Flemming announced last week that in fiscal 1955 the U.S. will spend $900 million (some $250 million more than 1954) to buy 22 essential stockpile items, from aluminum and diamonds to feathers and fluorspar. By next year, the bulging U.S. war chest will reach a staggering $5 billion, rivaling the $6.5 billion farm surplus hoard. Since the buying was stepped up after the end of the Korean war, a big question has been raised...
