...Oriental-wise, decrease our demand. Limitation or enrollment, it is true, has not been the policy of Harvard. The reason is that it is not entirely in accord with the tradition of a liberal institution. The idea that Harvard should deprive any one intellectually qualified of access to the opportunities it offers has not been popular...
...conversational invasions of unprotected dormitories, are all notorious. But the social service workers seem to have overlooked them. If we stop to think of them seriously, the dangers in their path are evident. The examples they see among students are not always good for their tender years. With free access to many dormitory rooms, temptation is open to them, and there are frequent reports of petty thefts, not serious in themselves, but indicative of a warp in the boy's character that may result disastrously...

They will be given free access to the privileges of the graduate schools, and will be relieved from all examinations except a comprehensive one at the end of their senior year. Barnard is thus going one step in advance of the tutorial system adopted in some departments here, in approaching a practical American adaptation...
There are three salient features to the Colombian petroleum industry: first, the marked predominance, amounting almost to monopoly, of American capital in that field; secondly, the difficulty of access from the seaboard to the richer deposits, necessitating excessive costs of pipe line construction and drilling, which are nearly double those for corresponding work in this country and Mexico; thirdly, the legal status of the industry was radically changed in November and December, 1919, when a decree of the Colombian Supreme Court, followed by a new petroleum code, put an end to various government owner ships and "nationalization" schemes and removed...

There seems to be no valid reason, except perhaps the expense, for not keeping laboratories, like libraries, open until ten o'clock. Having access to his desk in the evening, the budding scientist,--the would-be chemist in particular,--would be free in the afternoon to air his genius on the field of sport. In that this project would enable an ever-increasing group of students to enjoy their share in the advantages...
