...course one does not endow a $150,000 professorship to commemorate an accident of nature. Editor Bok's admiration for Woodrow Wilson had its roots in a temperamental affinity that naturally existed between two self-assertive individualists who could agree on many things; and in one strong-minded man's appreciation of another's "beautiful thinking machine." Also, Mr. Bok, with a self-educated man's capacity for admiring education in others, never ceased to marvel at Mr. Wilson's command of language, including slang. He even asked Mr. Wilson once how he came...
Weary of submitting the teeth of his gift horse to the suspicious scrutiny of Egypt's political leaders (TIME, March 1 et seq.), John D. Rockefeller Jr. last week withdrew his offer to build in Cairo and endow a ten-million-dollar "Temple of the Unfolding Life of Man." A finishing touch to the farce was added by Mr. Rockefeller.

This new Haugen bill would set up a board similar to that proposed by the Tincher bill, but it would go further: it would endow the board with $350,000,000 instead of $100,000,000. and provide that if the farmers' co-operatives were unable to cope with the surplus problem, the board itself could buy grain or other produce to maintain domestic prices at the world price plus the tariff. Also, after...
...Willard was elected last week, after twelve years on the Johns Hopkins board and three years as mainspring of a committee that has raised some six millions to expand and endow the Johns Hopkins hospital and medi-cal school. Now he will be, with President Goodnow, the mainspring by which Johns Hopkins means to eliminate its elementary instruction, reorganize itself on its original lines of advanced and research work (TIME, March 8) and raise six more millions to finance the change...
