...cancelled my subscription to a number of magazines and publications which force advertising into the reading pages and insist that the reader must take this meretricious hash, whether he wants to or not. I have already written once before protesting against what I consider an insufferable impertinence on the part of modern publishers, to whom the advertiser is the commanding force and who treat the convenience of the readers with contempt. I recognize, of course, that the income from advertisements is necessary in meeting expenses, but it could be done in a decent way, so that the advertisements would...
...Andrew Yule, who first made Indian jute world-famed. It was the War's demand for sandbags which caused jute prices to soar and the Yule wealth to become fabulous. Much, however, of Miss Yule's $100,000,000 was in cash; for the jute part of the fortune had been acquired by J. P. Morgan & Co., now most potent factor in world jute.* To big companies the Exchange means no revolution in marketing methods.

...Match and the rest of the world. Although Herr Kreuger has been Great Matchman for the past dozen years, it was only last year that alert U.

The alumni were "trying" him on the charges: 1) "that he wanted to abolish lipstick at Pembroke College [women's part of the university]"; 2) "that he wanted to make Brown an institution where youth could receive an education." Alumnus Rockefeller said: "I'm always glad to be called upon to defend any man against a lawyer. Lawyers, you know, are supposed to spend all their time settling the troubles...
...about whom a similar to-do was made 30 years ago when he entered an administration which outlasted all others begun at the turn of the century. At the Meeting House, Brown under graduates heard Harvard's Lowell, the principal speaker, observe that the college problem lies "in part in eliminating those who are unable or unwilling to make the effort and make it fruitfully." All good Brown men were proud to hear President Barbour modestly proclaim: "Brown yields to her sisters only: Harvard, William & Mary, Yale, the University of Pennsylvania, Princeton and Columbia...
