It was felt that Seniors did not have the time needed to advise Freshmen, due to the pressure of tutorial work...
...Another phenomenon of adiposity died in Los Angeles last week. He was Theodore Valanzula, who three weeks ago was side-showing at Coney Island, N. Y., as "Tom Ton, 960 Ibs."

The horses had begun...

The General Electric Co., the Anaconda Copper Co., the International Mercantile Marine, the Radio Corp. of America, and many another vast concern speedily sought Mr. Logan's services. He became known as a wizard at "institutional" advertising. The effects of his work are felt quite as intimately by the individual consumer-in a comfortable, punctual train; a well appointed ship; a sound security. But the distinction between the Messrs.
