...that Mister Laski, not Professor, as the papers state, has taken the field again on he side of the down-troden union man. His address was to the women folk of the striking policemen.

Perhaps Mr. Laski will state what it is that labor thus tenaciously clings to and enunciate clearly the principle he is talking...
...yield neither to Senator Borah not to any other man in admiration of the Farewell Address; ..... but I believe that the greatness of Washington was due to his looking the facts of the day in the face, and determining his conduct thereby, instead of by utterances, however wise, of a hundred and fifty years before."

This fund would be kept unpledged to meet emergencies which arise requiring special work, or to obtain exceptional teachers. Harvard is more seriously handicapped than people generally realize, a state of affairs which is strikingly illustrated in the fact that of the income from the invested funds of the University in the last fiscal year, amounting to $1,664,153.34, only about eleven per cent., or $178,772.86, was unrestricted. The balance was tied up by the donors to specific objects...
