...Dean of Administration at the University of Minnesota, quarrelled with the State Board of Education about money matters and resigned. Last week Idaho acquired for its eighth president Mervin Gordon Neale, who has also served time on the Minnesota faculty but whose chief work was done at his alma mater, the University of Missouri, where he has been Dean of Education since...
Cornell university proclaimed last week a "new world's record in support of edu-cation." The first week in April, Cornellmen all over the U. S. and Canada were solicited for alma mater in a campaign patterned after the Red Cross roll-call.

...such a history has been made in the current year. The author of the revolution is Edward S. Harkness of New York. As wise as he is generous, he has given in separate sums and under somewhat diverse conditions about 25,000,000 to his alma mater, Yale, and to Harvard for the building and for the furnishing of proper dormitories. Through his munificence Harvard is already building houses each worthy to be made a home. The movement historically is a transfer of the social conditions obtained in women's colleges from the first years at Vassar, to the colleges...
