Smith v. Hatton Sirs; TIME erred in stating (Sept. 19, 1927) that Dr. A. R. Hatton "had declined the deanship of the University of Detroit." The University of Detroit, a catholic institution did not offer him the deanship but the municipal College of the City of Detroit through the Board of Education did. Before Dr. Hatton declined, Mayor John W. Smith of Detroit, wanting no staunch advocate of the city manager system on the city payrolls, vigorously assailed the appointment and threatened to veto it.

Mr. Jolson has money, a million or more; worries about his health. Eva Le Gallienne has no faith in her belief. She believes that the state should endow a low-priced theatre for the masses. "But the state isn't interested in such things." Miss Le Gallienne solved this conflict...
...success with your little boys," Carroll wrote; "to me they are not an attractive race of beings. As a little boy I was simply detestable, and if you wanted to induce me by money to come and teach them, I can only say you would have to offer me more than 10,000 pounds sterling a year." Another letter of interest is one written by Carroll in such small script that it is hardly legible. The letter was signed "Sylvie," and purported to be from the fairy in Carroll's story, "Sylvie, and Bruno...
