...Committee so sensibly recognized, it is useless to argue which side is most at fault. Legislators, initiative petitions, green paint, dynamite, burglars, proselyted athletes, and a hundred other things have been used in the fight between the two schools ever since the oldest professor can remember. Presumably it is easier for one man to resign than to fight the firm beliefs and emotions of an entire opposing faculty. But under all the circumstances the failure to bring harmony as Chancellor is no more a complete indictment of Dr. Kerr's ability than the failure of the peace overtures after...
Since Jan. 3 the 74th Congress has run a long lazy race for Jockey Franklin Roosevelt. Partly the fault was his, for not letting Congress know exactly what he wanted, for sending up sloppily drafted measures such as the Social Security Bill which had to be entirely rewritten in the House, for not making up his mind until June that he wanted the Wagner Labor Disputes Bill, the Guffey Coal Bill passed as part of his program.

There is some good comedy and some clever eccentric dancing...
...course there would be someone like Representative Hamilton Fish--himself a Harvard man--to find fault with her recognition of a Bolshevik son. Mr. Fish insists that the committee which presented the portrait "was intellectuals and others who are trying to undermine and destroy our present form of government." How, exactly, does such a charge, if true, concern Harvard's acceptance? Her interest is in John Reed, not the committee, and this would be true if the latter had been composed of bond salesmen. We would suggest to Mr. Fish that the only legitimate point of attack in the whole...
