...year-old bankster. The warrant on which he was arrested accused him of misappropriating over $300,000 of his depositors' funds. The charges as developed by the U. S. Attorney outlined a far larger story: that following the stockmarket crash of 1929 Harriman had made an attempt to maintain the price of his bank's stock at about $1,350 a share (1929 earnings were $55 a share and later earnings declined). He actually succeeded in maintaining the price in that neighborhood until April 1932. At that time the Harriman National took over Liberty National Bank (founded...
...present, it is doubtful if the Society will be able to sponsor another exhibition, because subscriptions from members outside the University have diminished, and despite the fact that student membership trebled last year, the Society can no longer afford to maintain its gallery. If this exhibition, however, increases popular interest sufficiently, and if the appeal for funds that is being sent out succeeds, the society plans to hold an exhibition in one of the downstairs galleries of the Germanic Museum sometime during the middle of May.

There are other advantages for the Geography concentrator, no less real than those of interesting subject matter in courses and tutorial and the opportunity to maintain contacts with stimulating thinkers in the department.

The devilish difficulty of undergraduate journalism, as viewed from the windows of the college offices, is that to maintain intimate relations is a labor of Sisyphus. Annually the officers roll the stone up to the top of the incline, and the next autumn they must start to roll it uphill all over again. My final proposal contains machinery for putting some of the burden for these intimate relations upon...
Almost alone in preferring gold to paper as pocket currency for everyday use are Dutchmen. They like to jingle heavy guilders on each of which is stamped the motto & promise of Queen Wilhelmina's Royal House: "I will maintain!" In The Hague last week pompous Mynheer Doktor Leonardus Jacobus Anthonius Trip, President of the Netherlands Bank, mentioned an obvious fact: no "run" to exchange Dutch paper money for gold can possibly perturb the Netherlands Bank. Reason: the entire paper currency of the Netherlands is backed by a gold cover...
