...president of the New York Academy of Medicine and hence a quasi-national personage, Dr. John Augustus Hartwell last week assumed boldness and denounced the profession's chronic evil- fee-splitting. The practice of medicine has become so complex that the general practitioner must usually call in a specialist for many services which formerly he did himself. The patient pays two fees, usually (in Manhattan and other large communities) $10 to the family doctor, $35 to the specialist.

...Seldes, a complete view of its nature. There seem to be so many characteristics of Harvard that no individual can see them all from his limited position. For example, one may attempt to classify the student body. He will find, among others, six groups--those dominated by a social complex, those with an intellectual complex, a pecuniary complex, an athletic complex, or a combination of these complexes, and finally, those with no complexes at all. Which is predominant is a matter open to question. To which did Mr. Seldes belong? Judging from his college record I shall decline to answer...
