A halo, of a sort, has there- fore been placed about his head. There is no doubt that Loyalty is one of the most important human ele- ment factors in American business, as well as in social and private life. It is stressed by big business men, statesmen, social leaders, politicians, wherever there is organization of any kind, as a most desirable asset to mark a man or a woman. And so when the movie director and story writer emphasized this attri- bute of the gangster, they immediately placed him among those who deserve consideration and admiration, even though his operations violate every law of society. How do we define Loyalty? The dictionary says it is "devoted allegiance to a government, a cause or a chief ; hearty service in friendship or love." The gangster's so-called loyalty is, in almost every case, inspired by greed, fear, or both. But the Loyalty of which we speak is of a different kind. It is the Loyalty the dictionary defines. There sometimes comes a time in life, when choice must be made be- tween disloyalty to a friend and disloyalty to your ideals of right. Some friend, to whom you have given "hearty service in friendship or love," stoops to a disgraceful and petty act. Should you forsake him? He has already forsaken you by abandoning the ideals and standards that served as the foun- dation of your common interest and friendship. He cannot rightfully accuse you of disloyalty because you continue to stand where you have always stood. You have not changed—it is he who has changed. He has descended to lower levels. Can he, in the name of Loyalty, ask you to descend to the level he has chosen? Loyalty does not require that you should lie in the gutter of the other fellow's choosing.

He received his B.S. from Erskine College in 1909, and rose up the administrative ranks from English teacher in Laurens, South Carolina public schools. He received his M.A. from Peabody College in 1920, and Ph.D. from Peabody in 1926, after which he became president of Presbyterian College in Clinton, SC in 1927. He was employed as Director of Teacher Training, Certification, and Elementary Education at the Alabama Dept. of Education just before coming to MSCW to become president in 1932. In December 1932, the university was re-accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools, ending the crisis brought on the purge of faculty under Governor Theodore Bilbo, but appropriations to the university were cut by 54 percent, and faculty and staff were reduced by 33 percent, as enrollment had declined from 1410 in 1929 to 804 in 1932. Parkinson authorized a study of MSCW by Peabody college, ultimately pursuing its recommendations to focus on liberal arts at the cost of its traditional role in industrial, vocational, and technical education. Building projects were kept to a minimum during the Parkinson years. Old Main was restored and named for Mary Calloway in 1938. Franklin Hall was converted to a dorm, and the Whitfield Gymnasium into a student center with the Golden Goose Tearoom inside. Parkinson Hall was constructed in 1951 and named for Dr.

  • Distribution and Seasonal Movements of the House Sparrow
    Bird-Banding 2o] NICHOLS,Distribution of theHouse Sparrow January DISTRIBUTION AND SEASONAL MOVEMENTS OF THE HOUSE SPARROW By Joun T. N•cuoLs Fi•oM January, 1930, to October, 1933, 450 House Sparrows were banded at Garden City, New York. Adult House Sparrowsare notoriouslytrap-shy, seldomrepeating or return- ing. Such scattering repeats and returns as there have been to date do not, in themselves,prove much as to the local move- ments of the species. However, adults were banded on the right leg, and recog- nizably young birds on the left leg, thus dividing the popula- tion into six groupseasily recognizableat the trapping station by sight. The varying proportionsof these groupspresent by observationare shownin percentagesin Table 1. We will begin by summarizing the most obvious and best groundedconclusions based on this table: (1) Young birds as a class leave the trapping station im- mediately if they are strong on the wing and independent of their parents. Their leaving seemsto be due to lack of place memory, correlated with a general lack of memory which causesthem to repeat much more freely than the adults. It is not that they are crowded out by the adults or seek a differ- ent environment,for at the sametime the proportionof birds of the year at the station rises, as would be expectedat that season. It is rather a matter of chance,with a drifting popula- tion, chancewhich will later bring a small proportion of them back to the station again. (2) The proportion of banded adult males at the trapping station has risen rapidly since 1930 with continued banding, and is subjectto wide seasonalfluctuations, which can only be explained by a more or less regular return of birds from out- side to the station.

We are grateful to Vasco Cúrdia for providing us access to his codes, and discussing our paper. Comments from audiences at the conferences on Expectations in Dynamic Macroeconomic Models, the Econometric Society World Congress (Montreal) and European Economic Association (Mannheim) meetings are gratefully acknowledged. 1 Abstract We examine the first QE program through the lens of an open-market operation under- taken by the Federal Reserve in 1932, at the height of the Great Depression. This program entailed large purchases of medium- and long-term securities over a four-month period. There were no prior announcements about the size or composition of the operation, how long it would be put in place, and the program ended abruptly. Using a dataset with weekly-level Treasury holdings of the Federal Reserve in 1932, and the corresponding yields, we first conduct an event study analysis. This indicates that the 1932 program significantly low- ered medium- and long-term Treasury yields. We then use a segmented markets model to analyze the channel through which the open-market purchases affected the economy. Quar- terly data from 1920-32 is used to estimate the model with Bayesian methods, employing the methodology of Chen, Cúrdia and Ferrero (2012).
