...have been one of your subscribers for about a year, and have found TIME quite accurate in reporting facts with which I am familiar. I do wish, however, that your photographs were more up-to-date, the one of me appearing in your magazine about a month ago having been taken eight years ago this Christmas (at which time I was 18 years old and a freshman at Amherst), and the one of Mr. Trumbull which appeared in TIME recently having been taken I do not know when or where. I prefer to see good, clear likenesses recently taken...
Commenting on these pictures a bulletin of the School of Architecture states: 'Some people regard modernism in architecture as the salvation of that art and some, as its annihilation. All intelligent people are familiar with the appearance of modern buildings reproduced in black and white, in the rotogravure sections and in journals of art and architecture.

...depression it is a popular pastime to criticize the amount of money expended by a college on athletics. Obviously to conduct intercollegiate and intramural athletics on such a scale as I have outlined costs money, and a great deal of money.

No longer a part of the New Haven tradition of bulldogs and turtle-necked sweaters, when the original Mortaritya and their golden lucks were a fragrant reality and when fence...
Last week, at the 33rd annual Exposition, Judge Biggar was in his customary place at the centre of the arena at the Union Stock Yards. Things looked pretty much as usual. There were the familiar signs-THIS SHOW HAS BEEN DISINFECTED; the familiar sights & sounds-miles of red bunting, polo players in bright blue hats, stolid farmers' boys in overalls, svelte geldings, grunting swine, bleating sheep, sleepy steers annoyed at constant currying. Judge Biggar saw familiar faces among the exhibitors-23 year-old Elliott Brown of Rose Hill, Iowa, to whose steer he had awarded the grand prize three...
