Compare with this curtailment in educational activities the phenomenal growth in building that is taking place at Yale. Luxurious Gothic structures are rising in the form of libraries, gymnasiums, dormitories, and classrooms. In years of prosperity the educational program grows along with the architecture, but never at any equal pace. Though Yale has been more fortunate than most institutions in acquiring gifts, the same situation part on many other education is building itself a beautiful shell, but in years like this the hollowness rings painfully in our ears...

The engineers bought materials more cheaply in 1930, got better labor for less money. Result: the dam's opening was nine months ahead of schedule. Safe Harbor owners...
Indeed, the only magazines in America that have survived the change in manners since the virginal days of 1912 are the ones that have learned to trim their sails, both typographically and editorially. Some, like "Vanity Fair," have kept pace gracefully and insensibly; others, like the "Forum," pied the old type and came forth clad in a cover of boiler-room Roman the better to face hard facts. In every case, the age has made the magazine not the magazine the age. For with the passing of personal journalism and the great tradition of William Lloyd Garrison and Horace Greeley...
