When Amherst's trustees ousted Alexander Meikeljohn (TIME, June 25, 1923 et seq.),when Governor Huey P. Long forced Thomas W. Atkinson out of the University of Louisiana, the issues were plain between Reaction and Liberalism.

Liberals would undoubtedly have been prodigious, for along with his smooth exterior and the careful polish which has removed all trace of his native Queen City, Mo.. Glenn Frank has. with facile...
...peace lover attempted public auto-crucifixion last week, but in Manhattan the biggest, most active anti-war machine of its kind, the Emergency Peace Campaign, received from abroad its livest spark plug.

George Weyerhaeuser, whose captors were caught and given stiff sentences after obtaining $200,000 for his release, used to play with Charles Mattson when he went to Haddaway Hall, the former home of his grandfather, two blocks away from the Mattson home...
...British loan to help Italy develop Ethiopia has never ceased to be "in the cards." It was predicted in London banking circles even while Anthony Eden was at his most fervent in Geneva, hurling the thunderbolts of Sanctions at defiant Benito Mussolini (TIME, Oct. 21, 1935 et seq). Last week this British loan was just around the corner, according to the most orthodox of London and Rome correspondents...
