Pride of the Bowman-Biltmore hotel system is Manhattan's Biltmore. Pride of the United Hotels Chain is Manhattan's Roosevelt. Soon Biltmore and Roosevelt, already next-door neighbors, may be financial as well as topographical companions. For last week, widely, convincingly rumored, was a Bowman-Biltmore-United Hotel merger that would create a $50,000,000 hotel chain with more than 100 units, with over 20,000 rooms...
Miss TIVERTON GOES OUT- Anonymous-Bobbs-Merrill ($2.50). Juliet, the Alice-in-Wonderland member of a parvenu family, blunders through subtle tragedies until the omnipresent influence of next-door Miss Tiverton, the "real thing" personified, aids her sensitiveness to give her that sense of personal reality which is salvation.

Surely our college authorities would not like to reduce our lives to the hum-drum monotony which their...
...harsh sound broke in on my reveries; in fact there was no need of any, because I was all broke up already. The sonorous snore of my next-door neighbor came to me as soothingly as the sound of the waves on the beach. As I lay communing with my inner consciousness there was a knock at the door. Without waiting for any summons in walked a form which I had seen before. As he came nearer I saw it was an old acquaintance, familiarly known at college as Lampy. Somewhat surprised at the unexpected apparition, I hesitated a moment...
