Last March, with undergraduates behind the waitresses, they won many points. But the absurd suggestion that Harvard is not free to hire its students as it chooses will not find such friendly reception. The March contract specifically provides for such a possibility, if further proof were needed. In tenth grade English, it states that the contract applies to workers "except students who are or may be employed . . ." Harvard has granted its workers a mile; it will not be easy for them...

These ministers are men of God, and they say God tells them that the Allies are fighting a righteous war. They have taken their stand solemnly...
Walter Fleming, psychiatrist in the Hygiene Department, said of the work of the counselors, "In most instances adequate treatment need not be a very complicated procedure. Sometimes just the taking of a careful history, the clear formulation of a previously obscure problem, coupled with kindly authoritative reassurance, the simplest form of psychotherapy, and all taking place in two or three interviews, are enough to relieve completely very disturbing symptoms...
