...type of publication made possible by these awards is just as vital to Harvard, the college of Liberal Arts, as the aeronautical experiments carried on further down the river by means of the Guggenheim Foundation. Indeed, the resemblance is far deeper than this mere similarity of proportion, since the modern study of the humanities is really in the scientific manner. The archaeologist, the philologist, the historian must be quite as definitely and concretely trained in his own work as the student of chemical research is in his, and, what is more important, must be nearly as well equipped financially...

Lehman; from Simon Lazarus, Benjamin Altheimer. . . . Mr. Ochs...
Soon Mr. Pitcairn and Señor de la Cierva may be reimbursed for their experimental investment. The autogiro is entered in the Guggenheim Fund's "safe aircraft competition" to develop an aerodynamically safe plane. Twelve U. S.. British and Italian manufacturers have already entered the competition. First prize is $100,000. There are also five $10,000 prizes...
