...Washington's Naval Hospital, death from heart disease came suddenly last week to Herman Oliphant, 54, grey-locked, hollow-eyed general counsel of the Treasury Department. It left the Treasury bereft of the most earnest economic experimenter remaining there since the withdrawal of the late Professor George F. ("Rubber Dollar") Warren.

Unfortunately they would be likely to laugh at the asking. Of course, they have their troubles. They, like doctors, are paid last, and of late there has been a discouraging trend toward one student taking a review and then passing on his tidbits to his brothers in distress. But, all in all, certain maestros of the schools have been able to hold their heads above water and to keep undesirable animals from the door, and they naturally show no signs of giving up. And so, the bout goes...
