Sirs: At last I have found something that I can contradict in the pages of TIME magazine, on very good authority. I refer specifically to p. 54 of the April 11 issue of TIME magazine. The notice is headed "Slip" and refers to what is, without a doubt, a remarkable accident record of 795 days [at Remington Typewriter's Syracuse factory ]. However what we take exception to is the statement made by F. E. Redmond, director of the educational bureau of the Associated Industries of N. Y. "It is the greatest individual factory safety record in the history...
...interesting and quite full account of Robinson Jeffers in your issue of April 4 you casually refer to his mother as "His father . . . had married an orphan 23 years his junior."

S. in 1920 with a mystical manner and a shipload of paintings, explored Thibet, gave lectures on the Higher Life, acquired a circle of adoring acolytes who refer to him as The Marster, designed an international peace flag, and had a 24-story apartment house-museum put up in Manhattan in his honor. Last week came a check. Because of failure to meet interest on mortgages totalling $2,075,000, Roerich Museum Inc. went into receivership. A committee...
Hereafter the News will refer to the residential system to be inaugurated in 1933 as the "College Plan." In using the term "House Plan", as Professor Seymour points out, "we are merely following in the step of Harvard and are losing the chance of preserving the distinctiveness of our own scheme." Furthermore, while the units at Harvard are actually called Houses, at Yale they will be known as Colleges...
