...fruit of a $550,000 endowment given Vassar last year by her trustee, Mrs. John W. Blodgett of Grand Rapids, Mich. In the autumn, Euthenics at Vassar will come fully into its own with many courses in the regular curriculum, and a Euthenics laboratory. The courses begun last week were under two heads: family relationships, and the family as an economic unit. There were to be lectures by hygienists and sociologists, including Mrs. Margaret Sanger of the Birth Control League, on the psychological and physiological adjustments of husbands and wives, mothers and children, fathers and children.

...people, then this may be a vividly naturalistic novel of gypsy life in the eastern U. S. It follows the devious fortunes of a band of Romanies from the break-up of their winter camp in New Hampshire to their arrival at a Vermont council ground in the autumn.

Summer's peace on the shores of Lake Mendota (Madison, Wis.) is broken by the fall of hammers and the whine of planes. New dormitories are arising, where a year from this autumn the first fruit of the administration of President Glenn Frank of the University of Wisconsin will burgeon. It is to be an experimental college starting with 125 freshmen-all men-voluntarily enrolled to undertake two years of "project study" under the direction of Professor Alexander Meiklejohn and a special faculty. In 1928 another 125 freshmen will be admitted. At the end of its second experimental year...
