...have written it more grandly. We understand, of course, that he has investigated the matter thoroughly, and yet--er--we wonder if he has ever tried to get a Radcliffe dormitory on the telephone in the evening? And has he taken into account the statistical proof that 57 per cent of the Radcliffe women marry Harvard men? "They seek no closer association", say you, Mr. Dennis? But, of course, they probably didn't meet in Cambridge--it was while climbing glaciers, or riding the merry-go-round at Coney Island, of course...
This is the only day that the public is to be admitted to this tremendous show of thousands of advertisements. Three hundred and fourteen competitors from all parts of the country have submitted their advertising, making this year's exhibition 25 per cent larger than that of last winter. Only work published between January 1, 1929, and January 1, 1930, is eligible for consideration. On Thursday and Friday, the exhibition will be closed, and the Jury of Award will consider the advertisements and choose the winners of the awards. These will be announced at a dinner in their honor...

But Glueck went into the matter in detail. He looked into every corner of the lives of 500 criminals at four stages in their careers, compiling statistics at every turn.

...abiding life in the future will be. Hitherto, the type of crime committed, whether major or minor, has been one of the largest considerations in the giving of a sentence. But these figures show that such judgment has a chance of correctness equivalent to a fraction of one per cent, while if judgment is made according to such scientific tables as Glueck proposes, the ratio rises to somewhere around 80 per cent. This table of prognostication consists of finding out certain facts about the criminal, such as the nature of his habits before he was previously convicted, his attitude toward...
