Edward E. Brown, vice president of Chicago's First National Bank, has very touchingly complained that he and his brethren were unable to find a receiver for the Insull properties who could dominate Mr. Insull. All of the rugged, forceful men owed so much to Chicago banks that they were ineligible; those whose hands were untied could not be trusted to curb Mr. Insull's ambitious vigor; and no one, it developed, knew quite enough about the Insull properties to undertake their management without Mr. Insull's assistance.

...publication such as the Critic. It is the only undergraduate publication devoted entirely to articles and essays; it is in touch with undergraduate affairs; while comments on the state of the world are best to be found in such magazines as the Nation and its more conservative brethren, there is no organ more fitted for the probing of University questions than the Critic. If this estimable production can, in the future, treat of problems more pertinent to its environment, and institute a regular publication date, even by a reduction in size, it will more successfully fill its place...
