...library of the Graduate School of Business Administration has opened a new department, intended to provide students in the School with a knowledge of the tools and technique of business research. This consists of a laboratory in which students may examine and test all the labor-saving devices in use in modern business work. The Faculty had already obtained permission from over 150 business concerns in Boston, Cambridge and neighboring cities for students to examine their plants and business methods. The manufacturers of labor-saving devices for business purposes were then asked, on a basis of mutual advantage, to place...
...interest to all Democrats. You deprecate the much "shouting" of the "blind partisans" among our college faculties. So far, so good.

Would a compulsory military law work differently in this country? An indication of what would...
...benefits received--and that the benefits are not yet sufficiently apparent. If, on the other hand, such anti-conscriptionist sentiment does not materialize among some of the groups in the lower level of the social scale which have recently shown their political power and solidarity (I mean the labor unions, of course) Harvard men may well feel thankful and proud of their country and its government. At any rate they can recognize that the prompt vote here today is only the preliminary to a campaign throughout the country from which we shall learn a good deal. GRAHAM ALDIS...
