...Institute of Advanced Study, built with $5,000,000 given by Louis Bamberger and his sister Mrs. Felix Fuld, to open in New Jersey in about two years. Out of Dr. Flexner's surveys of U. S. education came last month a book * that roused to ire many a U. S. college dean. His thesis: that U. S. universities are inferior in most ways to those of England, France, Ger many, that they "have needlessly cheap ened", vulgarized and mechanized them selves ... a wild, uncontrolled, and un critical expansion has taken place." The true university, says he, must...

Nefertiti was the wife of the pharaoh Ikhnaton, whom she espoused in the 14th Century B. C. She bore him no sons: the name of their...
Colyumist Arthur Brisbane most rouses the Notch ire. Brisbane's manner of commenting upon world events is thus described: "Two subway diggers, or two stockbrokers, exhausted by the day's work, stand, half-comatose, at the bar of an old-fashioned saloon; between long, refreshing pulls at their schooners they utter, effortlessly and comfortingly, their dazed views on the fall of empires and the rise of Henry Ford." He has little respect for Tycoon Ford, calls him "a typical specimen of the anti-cultural American." The Mob, says Critic Notch, is influenced by scientific discoveries, but its science...
