Staffed by a generally able faculty and endowed with laboratory facilities to rival any in the country, the Chemistry Department offers a worthwhile field of study for all those who have a yen for science. But while the field as a whole opens many avenues of future work, the Division is weakest in its elementary preparation. The Department's principal sins lie in its presentation of basic subjects and in its failure to correlate adequately the early material studied...

As rival to President Roosevelt and King Edward VIII for most photographed celebrity, she appears in an average of 20 still portraits daily for magazines, newspapers and advertisements. In addition to being, accurately speaking, the most popular cinemactress, Shirley Temple is the ablest song-plugger in Hollywood. Sheet music sales on her songs, like Polly Wolly Doodle and On the Good Ship Lollipop, are over 400,000 copies each...
