...Phelps' greatest asset, and it is a formidable one, is his ability to come up with striking images, and create effective moods. In his best poems this ability is exploited, and so the simple lyrics are the most effective, and those of a more didactic, or purely symbolic nature tend to fall flat. Mr. Phelps also has a tendency to use slight inaccuracies in syntax, under the impression that they are eminently subtle and thus convey a nuance which could not be obtained any other way. Needless to say, the subtlety remains in the poet's mind, somewhat beyond...
Despite the advantages of this plan, similar suggestions have been opposed in the past on the grounds that they might tend to create an "undemocratic" class society composed of the "laborers" and the "idle rich." The danger of creating such class distinctions in Radcliffe's liberal society seems relatively remote. Since a paid student staff would offer valuable job opportunities, operate more efficiently, and free other students from a time-consuming and pointless task, the Radcliffe Administration should seriously consider this method of replacing the waiting-on program...

He started the drive with a Council order early in March asking the City Solictor to prepare legislation for banning the machines...

Technological gains in efficiency are largely neutralized by the fact that powerful shop unions prevent management from cutting payrolls, even though only half as many men may actually be needed to tend the new equipment. Union "make-work" practices such as "bogus"-the needless resetting of ads originally received in mat or plate form-waste millions of dollars a year. And labor costs have maintained a consistent spiral: in New York a Linotypist's wage has climbed from $77.70 in 1945 to $128 a week...
...these works were done by the leaders of late Victorian art, he can fully appreciate the scope and importance of Beardsley's technical accomplishment. Another artistic force in Beardsley's career, the Japanese eighteenth century print-maker, Utamaro, is likewise represented with two works. However, these subtle, lyrical works tend to point up Beardsley's limited emotional attachment. The conviction which dignifies the art of Utamaro rarely can be found in the elegant, but laconic creations of the gifted Mr. Beardsley...
