With its front page still carrying stories about the Greenlease kidnaping case (TIME, Oct. 12 et seq.), the St. Louis Post-Dispatch last week printed a brief announcement on its comic page in place of two popular comic strips: "The Buz Sawyer and Steve Roper serial strips have been omitted. They will not be restored until after the kidnaping episodes in both strips, which may be offensive to many readers at this time . . ."

During his turbulent presidency from 1846 to 1849, Edward Everott administered with on chief assumption: everything his predecessor had down was wrong. Everett favored the religious tone of Christo et Ecclesiae, a tone which veritas has not retained. He requested the aid of Samuel Adams Eliot, then treasurer of the Corporation, in restoring the "Spiritual and Godly Shield." Eliot, he soon found, was not the man to enlist in this cause. Unknown to the President, Eliot had been instrumental in getting Veritas recognized a few years before. The letters exchanged between the two men were lengthy, heated, but always...
