...TIME, March 18) Harvard Awards−advertising prizes. This year's jury awarded to Marcus & Co., "with recognition to Charles A. Hammarstrom," the sum of $1,000 "for the advertisement most effective in its use of pictorial illustration as the chief means of delivering its message." But no mention was made of the fact that Mr. Hammarstrom is an advertising manager and that the picture was actually the work of famed Rockwell Kent.* In naming Mr. Hammarstrom, the Harvard School of Business Administration had followed its usual custom of asking the winner (i.e., the winning organization) of the prize...
...probable that next year's award will also include mention of the artist. The fact that Mr. Kent, even prior to the present controversy, terminated relations with Marcus & Co. and is at present engaged in preparing drawings for another Fifth Avenue establishment accents the fact that the Marcus & Co. "incident" is isolated rather than typical. Nevertheless, in an age when many marriages are at tempted between Art & Business*, such an incident seemed likely to confirm the artist in his suspicion that Business is without honor at the moment when Business was beginning to appreciate the fine shades of honor...
...Boston Club speeches on the House Plan disclose the position of University Hall on several not un-important details regarding the working out of the proposed social scheme.

Furthermore, the editors are automatically in a position to have more information about University affairs than does the average undergraduate, and therefore to interpret them, if not more...
...Paris after dashing over to Berlin "so as to attend my daughter's wedding." Quite apart from discharging his duties at these nuptials, Dr. Schacht conferred long and earnestly with President Paul von Hindenburg and Chancellor Hermann Muller. Accordingly he was able, when he returned to Paris, to mention for the first time a definite annual Reparations sum which Germany offers to pay. Although shrouded in official secrecy this offer was soon known to be 1,500.000,000 gold marks per year ($356,850,000). Promptly the Allied delegates repeated their demand for $625,000,000; and Messrs. Morgan...
