...Last autumn a senator was overwhelmingly elected from a middle western state. The whole question in his election was whether or not he had some 15 years before, punched a certain police commissioner's nose. There are many similar instances, too many to detail here.

Chicagoans throbbed with confidence and gratitude towards Mr. Insull when last autumn he acquired an inland tract on the city's grimy river bank and announced that here he would erect a $7,500,000 midwestern music Mecca (TIME, Nov. 29). And last week Chicagoans throbbed again, including even the strictly business-like Journal of Commerce & La Salle Street Journal, when Mr. Insull explained to the 2,500 long-suffering guarantors of the Chicago Civic Opera Co., of which he is president, how this music Mecca could avoid losing money...

Unusual concentration of interest unusual continuity of service, mark the life-story of Fred Wadsworth Moore and explain the unusual merit of his work as graduate treasurer of Harvard's athletics. One turns back to the autumn of 1889 when Fred Moore was a Freshman in college, and one finds him manager of his class football team. As a Senior, of course, he is manager of the varsity. He determines to win a degree at the law school, and he wins it, but in the way, he takes "time out" to serve for a year or more as Harvard...
