...prime reason for returning blue books to whoever wants them, is that only by seeing what he has done wrong in the past, can a student hope to improve his examination technique in the future. Except for senior divisionals, the intrinsic meaning of an examination is not a final test of a man's knowledge, but rather a single hurdle in the race of educational experience. To deny a man access to a paper which will help him plan his study for the next barrier is an abdication of the function of teaching...
Under this storm of castigation and second-guessing, the Digest's editors sat down to decide what to say for themselves. Their poll had accurately foretold the major electoral results of, 1920, 1924, 1928, 1932. This time something had gone horribly wrong.

New stuff, however, was the action Oregon's adults took last week to end the particularly loud squawks against R.O.T.C. which students in two state colleges have been raising for years. On a proposal to make R.O.T.C. voluntary...
...long as the workers do not ask for outside unions, they can usually get a sympathetic ear. Even the company unions and works councils, far from perfect collective bargaining agencies though they may be, have served to right many a labor wrong, particularly inequalities in pay. Every spontaneous move to create a corporate social life is encouraged. All companies go in for annual picnics, outings, field days. Chrysler has its choir, Chevrolet its glee club. General Motors office workers have a luncheon club, most popular speaker being Executive Vice President William S. Knudsen. General Motors plant workers...
