...competitions of the socially ambitions. The belief has gained strength that the by-products of study, mysterious as they are in origin, are worth more than the uncertain experience of undergraduate activity. The sacred practise of deliberately "making contacts" has gone under the hammer. It is perhaps unnecessary to add that at Harvard the Big Man in His Class has died, and that there have been no heirs...
Lubricating local machinery was pleasant. Mr. Raskob again assured everyone that there would be some $4,000,000 on hand. About $500,000 would go into the Corn Belt, he said, and $600,000 for the nationwide radio campaign. Lest these sums sound too large, he took care to add that he had learned "from well-advised Republicans" that the G. O.

And when the three offers were examined, last week, Postmaster General New found that low bid was 22% less than the present contract (with Middle West Supply Co., Dayton, Ohio), would add some $5,000,000 to the shearings and scrapings so insistently demanded by Budgeteer Herbert Mayhew Lord. Postmaster General New named a committee to study the bids, probably to recommend awarding the contract to the low International Envelope Corp., subsidiary of the (world's largest) International Paper...
