...campaign manager was needed, reluctant as Senator Borah might be to accept assistance. Mr. Fish found onetime (1925-33) Representative Carl George Bachmann of West Virginia, dragged him back from his law practice in Wheeling.

...University of Rochester does not have to worry about money. The generosity of Kodakman George Eastman, of many another proud, rich citizen who participated in a whirlwind fund-raising campaign in 1924, left it with $33,000,000 in buildings and equipment, a $51,000,000 endowment that ranks fifth in the U. S. The University of Rochester does not have to worry about the quality of its president, able, young, onetime Rhodes Scholar Alan Chester Valentine, imported from Yale four months ago (TIME, Nov. 25). The University of Rochester does not have to worry about the brainpower...
