During the past summer, aided by a grant from the Milton Fund for Research, I spent practically all of July and August and part of September hunting for more of these endemic and relic species on or near the Long Range of Newfoundland and, although it will take all winter to work out the results at the Gray Herbarium, it is safe to state that my party, including Mr. Bayard Long of the Philadelphia Academy of Sciences, and my former student. John M. Fogg, Jr., Ph.D. '29, brought back more than 250 such species, many of them hitherto quite unknown...
...enough, these long-weathered snow-fields have a glassy surface, and it is easier to fall than to walk upon them. The photograph of my two companions at the lower edge of such a snow-field illustrates an experience which can be enjoyed on hundreds of slopes in late August after the melting days of summer are past...
...announced last week that Master Lambton would be sold to an unnamed Manhattan dealer or collector. The present owner, the Earl of Durham, last August refused $750,000 for the same picture.

Inheritance taxes subtracted $4,500,000 from the value of the Durham estate, now estimated...

U. roused itself when Northwestern University at Chicago set up an Air Law Institute on the model of the Koenigsberg Institut für Luftrecht, established in 1924 as the world pioneer. N. Y. U. promised itself a similar institute for next autumn. University of Southern California...
...concerned as compared with the economic chaos of 1924, Professor Fay predicted in 1924 that within five years it would have to be revised. His prediction was verified by the proposal of the Young Plan in the spring of 1929. With slight modifications made at the Hague last August and now being made at the same place, the Young Plan marks a great improvement over the Dawes Plan in many respects, he said. But it also, in Professor Fay's opinion will have to be revised certainly within twenty and probably within ten years...
