...Congressional District adjoining Son Kvale's in Minnesota might offer a spectacular opportunity for the perpetuation of another father & son tradition in U. S. politics.

...inauguration of the tutorial system in the Business School marks another significant step in its rapid evolution. Although the George F. Baker Foundation has aimed to offer its graduates a broad training which will furnish an adequate background for positions of executive responsibility, there has at various times been a feeling that routine work connected with some of the courses leaves the student little time for thought and consideration of some of the more significant phases of study. Under the new plan the first year will continue to be a period of basic instruction with required courses for all students...
