...these an Australian, Mr. William H. Donald, was in every sense news. Many years ago the health of his wife made it best for her to return to Australia, and in China her increasingly polished rough-diamond husband, as the years rolled on, perhaps killed more ladies (in the complimentary, Edwardian sense of "lady-killing") than any other man in China's swift, hard, cheap, international Shanghai-Peiping set. On being invited some years ago to a party in Peking for an appetizing blonde who had arrived bearing an introduction which she said was signed by the wealthiest...
...these circumstances neither Mrs. Simpson's having begun to go to select little bridge parties in Cannes last week, nor the Duke of Windsor's convalescence from his abdication jitters in the hands of Austrian doctors seemed exactly news (see p. 31).

Garfield, who was once (1857-63) its principal when it was named Western Reserve Eclectic Institute, Hiram started a summer school in 1931 on the "intensive study" plan. Instead of working on a number of things at once, Hiram students spent six weeks exclusively on one subject. Two years ago young President Kenneth Irving Brown...

Callahan, State Superintendent of Public Instruction, and Regent Daniel Grady a Portage lawyer, Chairman Wilkie said agreed with him. The three had "conferred" with Governor La Follette. Regent Callahan volunteered to break the news to Dr. Frank. From that time, Chairman Wilkie complained, President Frank had been charging that there was a "political attack...
