...beginning was the word and the word was 'reality'" is the new gospel preached by the Realty Research Society, Ichabod Babbit, President. "Man" says Mr. Babbit, "was an incident and woman a side issue. The beginning of the world was real estate with water thrown in as a chaser." Even nature has consistently dealt in real estate values, destroying and making properties with each successive geologic age.

...what of professors' salaries, of the expense of giving regular instruction to the steadily increasing student body? Mr. Grimshaw's gift of a building or a scholarship fund or a research fund does not add a cent for these purposes.
