...forces and in the bigness of small things. To some students it may seem almost petty to go to a settlement house once a week and there meet with a group of boys whose appreciation may be expressed in "razzing" and "rough-housing". A graduate who had some such job when in college told me recently that every year he has received appreciative letters from all the members of his group, most of whom have now become good citizens. Seemingly insignificant incidents like these make for human progress far more than big organizations or even the work of statesmen. William...
Introduced by Dean Briggs as the one man whose job he envied most, Dean of Freshmen Philip P. Chase spoke of the two phases of college life that 1925 will find the most important: first, their relations with one another; and second, their relations with the College Office. In connection with the first, he touched on the value of the Freshman dormitories and, and expressed his regret that those buildings had been inadequate to house the whole of the class of 1925.

Looked at from either side...
...estimate the amount of time devoted to the handling and selling of the articles in each department. To make these estimates is a far more hazardous undertaking than cost accounting in a factory, where ordinarily it is possible to keep an exact record of the time spent on each job. This cost accounting may be thoroughly worth while in individual wholesale grocery businesses. I am by no means sure, however, that the trade generally is prepared to install the detailed records that would be necessary to secure practical results. Personally I should not be interested in going any further with...
