Sturdily Miss Ishbel MacDonald refused to speak or write for pay while her Prime Minister father was the guest of President Herbert Hoover (TIME, Oct. 14, 21). But safe back in England last week, the Scotch lassie put by a tidy bit for three articles sold to the New York Evening Post. Like Ishbel's eyes, the articles sparkled yet were thoughtful.

Everywhere that Dr. Clarence Cook Little (Sc. D.) goes, there go his mice and Scotch terriers. They followed him from the assistant directorship of the Carnegie Institution station for Experimental Evolution at Washington (resigned 1922), from a research association at Harvard Medical School (resigned 1921 and again 1925), from the presidency of the University of Maine (resigned 1925), and from the presidency of the University of Michigan (resigned last spring).

S. State Department's "acceptance" until a few hours after Scot MacDonald left Washington (see above...
...charters, spotters, announcers, photographers, and radio broadcasters, the new press box presents an example of sales psychology much to the benefit of the University. Those who have scribbled over wet and trickling sheets by light a borrowed match or flickering kerosone torch while the chill gloom of a rare Scotch mist engulfed the receding shadows of the stands have much to be thankful for in the recently completed press...
