Next to the Army's Chief of Staff rank the heads of the four combatant services: cavalry, field artillery, infantry, air corps. To succeed Major General Fred Thaddeus Austin, retired, as Chief of Field Artillery, President Hoover last week appointed Col. Harry Gore Bishop, 56, who forthwith became a Major General and No. 1 Gunner...
...branches of art other than painting, the Metropolitan is admittedly a museum of the first rank. Its prints, casts, sculpture, bronzes, terracottas, glass, Classical, Egyptian, Far and Near Eastern art, armor, jewelry, musical instruments, European and U. S. decorative art, metalwork, costumes, textiles and laces, make it the necessary U. S. focal point of anyone seriously interested in worldwide craftsmanship.

The Campus appreciates the generosity of those friends of the University who have underwritten the expense of the School during its first three years, and will be confident of the success...
With the exception of four or five Harvard students, half the professors, and all the Radcliffe girls who use the board steps, the rank and file of the College reel precipitantly down the ice-covered, unboarded steps diagonally from the front door to the outer periphery. For the first week one stands an even chance of getting to the bottom without amusing the smokers lounging about the pillars by an elaborate balancing act in attempting to maintain his equilibrium. At the end of this period, the going becomes increasingly difficult, so much so that only the most intrepid can traverse...
