...followed this with graduate work at Wisconsin and University of Chicago, where he coached football under Amos Alonzo Stagg. A Ph.D. thesis on Illinois school finance in 1924 started Floyd Reeves toward national renown. He made 400 surveys of school systems and colleges, became the No. 1 U. S. expert on college administration, directed a survey of University of Chicago, where he is still a professor, that shaped the Hutchins plan...
...Littauer is already assured of renown by the building which he so generously gave and which bears his name. But his ideas on the subject of public administration, perhaps the most important part of his gift, have still to be perpetuated.

The others are the Renown and the Hood, both of which were last week laid up for repairs and renovation, and the fast, 26,000-ton French battleships Strasbourg and Dunkerque. Moreover, if war caught the Repulse on the wrong side of the Atlantic, a couple of destroyer flotillas would have to hurry over...

And by the time the right side obtains justice, no one cares very much, even though it seems that Alexander is awarded one-fifth of all the stock of Western Union...
...reader becomes quickly befuddled in a bewildering maze of abstract mathematical formulae. But if one discounts these two chapters, the work presents a warm and appealing picture of this modest, publicity dodging genius, whose efforts in the cause of international peace and tolerance have won him almost as much renown as his purely intellectual activity...
