Getting the projects off paper, translating them at judicious moments into sweat-producing, belly-filling, back-covering jobs for labor, and into cash-registering orders for business will depend upon the extent to which federal, state and municipal legislative bodies and officers can be persuaded and helped to "cooperate" (Hoover's favorite word).

In the event of Potter's remaining on the bench, John Parkinson '29 will be at guard, with Robinson resuming his regular tackle position...

As the problems of manufacture and distribution grow, they increasingly demand for their administration minds capable of grasping the delicate abstractions and involved theory upon which they depend. Business success no longer involves a mere doing of the right thing by intuition or experience but is only obtained by those whose minds are trained to recognize the entire implication of the affairs with which they deal...
