...name Epstein is famed among artists: 1) Because Sculptor Jacob Epstein of London has carved things to which most Londoners violently object (TIME, Oct. 21). 2) Because Max Epstein of Chicago, besides being philanthropist and financier (tank cars, directorships), is an outstanding connoisseur and collector of paintings. Many a Harvard law student is aided by the Max Epstein Loan Fund. The University of Chicago has a Max Epstein Dispensary and Social Hall. Lately Mr. Epstein combined his hobby and his philanthropy. Last fortnight the University of Chicago announced receipt from him of $1,000,000 for an art center where...

As usual with Kreuger visits, his object was not known, his movements veiled in mystery. Germans wondered if it were in connection with one of the several German banks in which he is heavily interested, or the German ballbearing industry in which he controls about 75% of production, or one of the great steel mills that consume...
...banish the split infinitive from the speech of Harvard men is perhaps an object worthy of the serious attention of the faculty, but the process is unduly painful. To sit at the feet of wisdom and imbibe a true love of the English language necessitates inspiring instructors, and in English A1, the inspiring quality of the instructor is more than likely to be determined by the whims of the fickle Goddess of Fate. Given a poor instructor, any natural inclinations towards the study of English are likely to be smothered under the soporific influence of the teachings of the mediocre...
