...unfair. The contention of others that they benefit by a review of their studies is true to a certain extent, but a quizzing of trivial details contributes little to one's education, while those broader essay subjects which evoke individual thought require more time. If some mid-semester's grade is necessary, then to submit term papers would be far more profitable than hour exams. Irksome and worthless, those relics of juvenile schooling ought long ago to have been relegated to the limbo of the birch...
...Knoedler's again made news with another important loan show. On exhibition were 31 canvases by Jean-Baptiste Camille Corot. Carefully selected, the pictures clearly revealed the charm which has made Corot a necessity in every big museum in the world, has caused him to be included in most Grade A private collections.

Such requirements are obviously out of line with the new ideas and freedom of education at Harvard. Men are now thought to be sufficiently responsible to make their own schedules. If, in a course like English 22, it can be found that they can receive an honor grade without attending...
...Union Station went Governor Arthur Harry Moore, Vice President Martin Withington Clement of Pennsylvania Railroad and many a cheering Atlantic Citizen. The new station has eight loading platforms three blocks long, can handle 10,000 visitors at once. Eliminated are two old railroad stations, twelve grade crossings...
