Burlesque paintings are usually popular with the public. Commercial artists joined the Fakirs to try their hand at burlesque and swell the scholarship fund. Since the National Academy makes a great to-do over donating its prizes, Patron Sam Shaw used to give a ist Prize of $25 in pennies and a hot mince pie to the best Fake of the year. The Fakirs Ball was even more appreciated by the public which quickly discovered that the Fakirs, in their anxiety for scholarships, had much more liberal ideas than the Beaux Arts Architects about the proper...
Chicago learned last week that there will be no opera this summer at Ravinia Park, rustic pleasure ground up the North Shore. Ravinia's genial patron, Louis Eckstein, is accustomed to bearing the greater part of each season's deficit; last year he and his wife made up $187,884 of the $279,829 loss.

This was only one of the eulogies tendered last week at a banquet in Manhattan. Few U. S. college students or alumni have the occasion, or the inclination, to give a long yell for the grandson of one of the college's first patrons. But Colgate University yelled lustily for 68-year-old "Jimmy" Colgate at a banquet celebrating his 50 years of association with the university, as student, alumnus, patron. President Hoover sent a telegram of congratulation. So did Chief Justice of the U. S. Charles Evans Hughes, who went to Colgate for two years. Finance Chairman Myron...
