...Reserve Governor responsible for the dollar in Havana, he has saved national banks there by rushing them millions in cash by train and plane to stop runs. The worst crash in his own area was that of Caldwell & Co. ("We Bank on the South.") He was one of the first to see and say out loud that the U. S. would never ballyhoo itself out of the depression.

In abandoning the proposed publication date, the editors were undoubtedly wise; this practice, however, should not be continued. In an "Apologia," probably the worst feature of the issue, the editors lay the blame for the delay on the student body; it is very probable that if the responsibility for publication were shouldered by the Critic's editorial board, and the issues were got out regularly, the final result would be more satisfactory. It has been said that the magazine...
