...this good work was promptly undone last week by developments at University of Wisconsin. Into the office of the dean of men irately marched Madison's Police Chief William H. McCormick. Chief McCormick threatened to arrest the members of Sigma Nu, Chi Psi and Alpha Delta Phi en masse.

The donor: broad-shouldered Daniel Hedges Brown, '16, onetime Hearst circulation manager, now president of Morris Mills, Inc., inventors and manufacturers of "Germ" flour (TIMEX Aug. 15).

After his graduation in 1872, he got a law degree at Columbia and practiced law in Manhattan for twelve years. At 38, bored with the law, he retired and married a Yaleman's sister, Alice R. Goode...
...brother retain a small holding of Curtis stock.* Ironically, with Graeme Lorimer's eyes turned toward Hollywood, a fugitive from the film colony. Merritt Hulburd, will fill his vacancy on the Post. Merritt Hulburd, Graeme Lorimer's classmate (1923) and fraternity brother (Psi U) at the University of Pennsylvania, persuaded Samuel Goldwyn to tear up his contract, which had over three years to run, so that he could return to the magazine he left six years ago. Two other associate editors taken on in 1937 are Stuart Rose, Ladies' Home Journal fiction editor who does not take...
