...Market. None of these measures was by themselves particularly drastic (was offset, for example, by failure to raise the rediscount rate), but taken altogether they gave nervous speculators chills & fever. On Friday call money went from 6½% to 10% and the whole market went off in a sharp decline that continued through Saturday's closing. There was nothing resembling a panic but the orderly retreat was rapid, sustained, unchecked by short covering...

It has been unable to discover, more-over, educational advantages of the new arrangement which might offset this loss in social flexibility. Finally the CRIMSON regrets the philanthropy which, blind to the notorious inadequacy of tutorial staffs, professorial salaries, and even lecture room facilities, would contribute millions toward the realization of an unneeded, and to some extent undesired, residential experiment...
