...surprising that Phi Beta Kappa is a champion of academic freedom, because almost everyone of any intelligence at all approves of it, just in the same way he would approve of Christian morality or young love. There may be some yapping minorities that attack it, and some paper advocates who in practice sabotage it, but still the great majority of Harvard students would condone academic freedom in extravagant terms. But granted that academic freedom is a good thing, the constitution of an undergraduate committee to protect it is something else. And the summons to this constitution of an undergraduate committee...
...peace, they have made it clear that they feel the first step must be a renunciation of much of England's national sovereignty and empire. On December 5, last Tuesday, Lord Halifax rose in Commons to quash their proposals: "We only court disaster if we forget that no paper plan will endure that does not freely spring from the will of the peoples that alone can give it vigor and life; and international, like our own national, institutions must be very securely and deeply anchored on reality."

Its battered shacks, pieced together out of tar paper and packing cases, nestle close to glittering mountains of "chat," or quartz dust, the "offal of the mines."On blustery days, wind whips and swirls the stinging quartz dust through the streets and into the houses. Constant inhalation of quartz dust causes silicosis...
When a Frenchman, over his hot brioches and chocolate, unfolds his morning paper to stare at gaping columns of white space, he shrugs and murmurs philosophically : "Anastasie!" A haggard, black-gowned, crotchety old maid, armed with an immense pair of shears, Anastasie is a characteristic creation of Gallic wit. She personifies the tightlipped, prudish silence clamped on the French press in wartime...
