...university which has already incurred scholarly suspicion by the closing of its library cannot afford to permit a temporary situation, easily misinterpreted, to become permanent. Both economy and the difficulties of choice have a limit, and as a vital scholarly need must limit the first, so should three years have limited the second. Under Professors de Wulf and Gilson scholastic philosophy filled a prominent place in the course list; that place should not be vacant much longer...
...sized fight between President Roosevelt and Congress over veterans' pensions was cut short last June by the hurried adjournment of the Hundred Day special session. That adjournment by no means settled the issue for Congressmen who like to battle, bleed and die for pensioners. They could afford to compromise with the White House in 1933 because there was no election that year. But this is 1934 and the whole House and one third of the Senate must go to the voters in November. That difference largely accounted for last week's resurgence of the pension problem on Capitol...
...whales washed up on the lower West shore of Manhattan Island. Mr. Purdy argued that if church property were taxed its value would at once shrink because assessment is based upon market value.

If it were sold for building its worth would decline, dragging down with it the worth...

Facing a possible fine of $10,000, which the once rich Thomases could ill afford to pay, or a ten-year prison sentence, she stoutly declared: "I loathe the publicity involved, but there is something beyond my personal preferences-my obligation to test unconstitutional rights as an American citi zen." Her eyes filled with tears as she added, "In this I have my father's complete approval. How he would stand with me if he were able." Not her father, who was once famed Haw ("Silver Dollar") Tabor's lawyer, but Miss...
...responsibility of President Conant to declare that this shall not be. The level of student expenses is not equitable as it stands. Throughout four years of depression, room rents and food prices have been kept at figures substantially above what many undergraduates could afford to pay. The effect has been to impose a crushing burden on the inadequate scholarship and loan funds, to drive students to all sorts of expedients in an endeavor to make both ends meet, and finally to force not a few to give up then college education or to seek it at some less expensive institution...
