Like the exterminator-man. Col. Guy T. Viskniskki (who hates to see his name misspelled) has an unpleasant occupation which doubtless achieves worthwhile results. Executives call him an efficiency expert. Embittered newshawks call him the ''wrecking crew." Both names displease him, even if they are partially accurate. He doctors ailing newspapers, trimming payrolls with the steely detachment of a surgeon. He is partly bald, fiftyish, looks something like a pelican...
...Doubtless a few students could be paired successfully, but these would be the exception to prove the rule. For it is questionable how much a man learns in a book that will remain with him a decade or so after graduation. But what any man remembers is those with whom he has come into close contact. The closer the contact, the longer, and more vivid, the remembrance. The Tutorial System fills two functions: academic and, for want of a better name, social.

To others the work of two young independent producers named Harold Kusell and Monroe Shaff will probably seem like cold hash...
Friends of the League of Nations are as well pleased as anyone. They exult that agreement has been reached in a major international crisis through the intervention of the Council at Geneva. This argument will doubtless be accepted in the foreign offices and will add immeasurably to the weakened prestige of that body. Nevertheless, it should be remembered that formulas and agreements in principle are as old as modern diplomacy.

A common meeting ground for the plentipotentiaries in League headquarters...
...after all, Harvard University has some small claim to cosmopolitanism. If one searches far enough, he will doubtless find, either in Widenor stacks, along Beacon Street, or in Scollay Square, representatives of nearly every nation, reveling in the bracing New England climate. They come and come, from Alaska, from Turkey, and from 33 places situated alphabetically between these two extremes. Numerically Canada heads the list with 48, and the gradient falls away to Palestino's one lone lorn special student...
