...between Emerson Hall and the President's House, marks what may be the first structure in a new building program under President Conant. It faces Quincy Street along the gravel driveway, and is constructed of red brick, inn harmony with the other buildings in the Yard. The two swinging doors will be set in colonial arches of white wood, and besides the four big square windows and the door, there will be two round windows in each gable-end, at the front and back of the garage. This will heighten the Georgian effect...
...desperate need of money, and to crooks, to swindlers. Last week in Manhattan secret service agents exposed a ring of counterfeiters who had been selling their bills at a cut rate of $15 per $100.

When the door opened they marched in and delivered three bundles of documents, each describing $5,000,000 worth of securities which their company wished to issue...
Hard on their heels came Huston Thompson, onetime member of the Federal Trade Commission, bearing three similar reports about 12,000 shares of common stock which Automobile Devices Corp. plans to issue. Before the day was over 50 corporate customers had flocked through that door, paid down nearly $8,000 in good money for the privilege of reporting their past and present income, their past and present assets and liabilities, the nature of their birthrights, the salaries of their officers and other intimate details of their private lives. Having paid and disclosed, they may issue (20 days later) between...
