The article focuses on the decision of Pittsburgh's Mayor William O'Dwyer, to invite a university professor to head the municipality's Department of Public Welfare. The appointment was made in due course and so able and just was the professor's conduct in office that those who had most loudly objected to him were at last to pay him public tribute and admit that they bad been in the wrong. The Mayor's violation of the board's independence certainly the grossest in recent New York scholastic history, raises some extremely interesting questions bearing on next fall's mayoralty election.
