This article presents information regarding the political and economic developments in the U.S. and in the world. There has probably been no session of the U.S. Congress since Congress began which has ended so miserably as that which ended last week. A large proportion of the members had gone home through sheer weariness and disgust, and the public had ceased to take the slightest interest in the debates, or, for that matter, in the measures passed or attempted to be passed. The annual college commencements have called forth the usual amount of comments from the press upon the usefulness of a college education, and if one was to infer the state of public opinion from what the press says, one should conclude that the community as a whole disapproved of universities, and considered the time passed in getting a college degree for the most part wasted.
