...amateur is he. He will be 60 years old this Sunday and nearly 20 years have already elapsed since he was first offered the job of Ambassador to Russia by Woodrow Wilson.

Commissioner of Corporations, later upped to chairman of the Federal Trade Commission. He was one of the bright young men of the Wilson Administration, and from another of that group he still has an old photograph inscribed...

The entire 330 seats harbored 322 gobs. Calculated to represent a frankly insignificant average, 88% of the College's classroom seats must hide wads of some sort...
...three elementary courses, for example, is regarded with considerable favor, students believe that section men, in many cases, are unequal to their assignments. As a further indication of the lack of fundamental "grounding" in the subject, the percentage figures of the students attending tutoring schools last year ran well above average in each of the elementary courses. It is especially significant as an indication of a trend, rather than as a particular case, that in one elementary course in which a brilliant research man and capable graduate teacher temporarily assumed the lecturing duties, the number of tutoring school applicants...
