...Architecture, Landscape Architecture, and Regional Planning are professions concerned with the arranging and shaping of materials. Not only are their objectives the same, but their basic processes are identical. It seems logical therefore, to include the fundamental preparation for all, in the curricula of one school...
Probably the basic theory behind the cross-section plan has been the fear that one or two of the Houses will play the role of step-sisters and collect only cast-offs from other Houses. To a degree this may well work out, but it is a greatly exaggerated idea. When mechanical facilities are much on a par as they are at Harvard, new college generations will constantly change the comparative status and general character of the Houses, as experiences at Cambridge, England and at other colleges have shown. The other chief support of the cross-section plan has been...
TIME said: "The basic patent on Monopoly was obtained by Mrs. Elizabeth M. Phillips who . . . developed the idea years ago. . . ." Her patent was granted in 1924.-ED. Snips Sirs: Let the chronic savers of TIME throw their hands on high at such blasphemy as snipping the pages of TIME, but we announce a new game.

Tucked away in a copy of the Official Gazette, not immediately issued last week but finally released, was a new Cabinet decree law fully as basic as anything in the so-called new Constitution. It was signed by Herr Hitler and the War Minister, General Werner von Blomberg.

The basic patent on Monopoly was obtained by Mrs. Elizabeth M. Phillips, a Virginian who is indeed a single taxer and developed the idea years ago under names like Business and The Landlord's Game. Monopoly in its present form was patented by an unemployed Philadelphian named Charles B. Darrow, whose last job (1930) was with a coal company lecturing dealers on new anthracite uses. Inventor Darrow built the first set in 1931, sold...
