Both sides were adamant. U. A. W. was confident that it had the strength to cripple Ford's production, if not stop it completely. And Henry Ford seemed determined not to budge from his lifelong position. Said he: "We do not intend to submit to any union, and those who belong to one are being fooled. . . . The men in our plants are satisfied generally with wages and conditions. Occasionally agitators try to keep our employes stirred up, but the men know they will be treated fairly by the company, without outside intervention...
This criticism sounds reasonable at first, but it is not a wholly valid one. To begin with, it is absolutely necessary to teach a lot of theory.

Harvard does not intend to train its students to go into social work as a vocation, but to give them a background which can be used in teaching, politics, business, or any other occupation.

Right now, for instance, oil and mining geology are all the rage, and the men properly equipped for work in these fields are few. For another branch of the subject, paleontology...
...that is recommended so that the non-scientific student can say that he has had a science course, but this is a case of academic license. The material is well-organized and the lab work is easy. If you're gunning for a good mark, though, and really do intend to concentrate, you'd better attend the labs faithfully...
