...tainted Crown Prince, deathly pale, spindle-shanked and likely to bleed to death from the dread disease hemophilia, supplied Spanish Republicans with one of their best reasons for ousting the Royal House (TIME, April 20, 1931, et seq.) Last week sentimental Cuban matrons murmured that love can cure and conquer all. One thing was certain. Spain's one-time Crown Prince Alfonso no longer looks tainted. From 92 Ib. his weight has climbed to 136-since the day twelve months ago when into the Swiss sanatorium where he was lying came a ripe-lipped, radiant Cuban patient, Senorita Edelmira...
...William Fox, his big film company was tossed gingerly about Wall Street for a long time. Several attempts were made to toss it to the public, but in the end Fox Film Corp. came to rest on the broad lap of Chase National Bank (TIME, May 2, 1932 et ante). Chase through its oldtime officer Edward Richmond Tinker tried to run the company from Wall Street, but after four months it called in Paramount's able Sidney Kent, made him president.

A victim does not deliberately pretend or lie about his misadventures. They may be for him an unconscious...
...Latin Oration, which to those few who can understand it adds a light note to the exercises, is delivered traditionally at the opening of every Commencement. Besides Smith, the orator today addressed "praeses et socii," (President and Fellows); "decani" (deans); "professores, praeceptores, tutoresque" (professors, instructors, and tutors); "gubernator praeclare" (Governor Ely); alumni; "patres matresque"; puellae formosissimae" (most comely maidens); "legati Angliae Galliaeque" (the English and French ambassadors); and finally "praeses noster" (President Lowell again...
...even if it meant decimating his faculty and losing leading students. With him he had a complaisant board of trustees, save for Mrs. Raymond Robins, Florida bookshop proprietor and wife of Herbert Hoover's reformer friend who disappeared with amnesia for some weeks last year (TIME, Sept. 19 et Seq.) She hastened to Winter Park to see that her nephew, Professor Theodore Dreier, was not booted out with the others...
