Wickersham and Helsinki? Banter in a turbulent era
A miscellany of quick takes mentions Attorney General Wickersham seizing bulls by the tails, flirtations with halved money and political attitudes. It notes Halley’s Comet speed, Atlanta’s sanitation debates, and a claim about paper money. It also quotes Dr. Schurman on education funding, warning against donor control and urging trustees to govern colleges without corporate strings, praising the Carnegie endowment while urging public accountability.
