...Langley will have an unobstructed airplane runway 1,200 ft. long by 200 ft. wide. At the mid-sides the platform will project to give room for a hotel (with restaurant and bar), hangars, storage sheds, weather bureau, offices, hospital wards, lighthouse. Platform and buildings will be 80 ft. above calm water level. Because no Atlantic waves have ever been seen more than 45 ft. high, it is improbable that the runway ever will be awash. The buoyancy columns with their stabilizing disks will reach 160 ft. below water level. That is considerably deeper than any wave action has ever...
...makes money, he will (and he has the money in provision to do so) construct eight similar seadromes to be strung 375 miles apart between the 35th and 40th parallels, north latitude, between Long Island and Plymouth. The 375 miles is an easy jump for any plane. Hence the project presages safe and convenient airplane passage across the ocean, direct competition with both sea ships and air ships. Flying time between the continents, Mr. Armstrong calculates, will...

For Manhattan's Church of St. Mark's-in-the-Bouwerie he has designed four 18-story, glass-walled residential towers, intended to be the first demonstration of ideas which Architect Wright has mulled over for 30 years...
...looked upon as shady business. Whether it has been altogether wise to place the management of the concessions in the hands of the College Employment Office is another matter. Already there has been friction between the two organizations of a sort which augurs ill for the success of the project. After all, employment is one thing and business management quite another and it is unreasonable to suppose that the two activities may be happily combined. The obvious method of securing an equitable distribution of jobs between athletes and non-athletes is to have this phase of the situation handled...
...success of the project and the enthusiasm with which it has been hailed is due in large part to the good offices of Frank Ryan, newly appointed publicity director of the H. A. A. Mr. Ryan has been exceedingly careful in all his preparations and is even now experimenting with various devices for the improvement of the announcing facilities in the box. His hearty good nature and warm cordiality have made dealings between the papers and the A. A. a real pleasure, and everybody who is interested in receiving the Harvard athletic news promptly, accurately, and completely owes...
