...discriminates against the deaf, that employers have found that accidents are rare among deaf workers because they are exceptionally careful. A recent Pennsylvania check-up of motorists revealed deaf drivers are best. Only Ohio, North Carolina and Minnesota have public employment bureaus for the deaf.

...piece of this kind comes when the hero, trying to explain to his girl that he is not really a famed mining engineer traveling incognito but just a country boy in his first golf trousers, is always interrupted and has to keep his secret.

That such methods may suttice admission is unfair to candidates without Wall Street backing. It is also unfair to Harvard, in whose Freshman Class the present system places a group of men whose work, or rather lack of it, lowers standards, bother deans, and in general forms an unhappy fringe insecurely perched upon the local scene by the perpetual support of hired outside...
