...with a large, somewhat bald head, a high forehead and prominent cheekbones. He is a great admirer of Cecil Rhodes and Dr. Jameson. He would rather be called engineer than chief or president. He has a motor boat, three yachts, six or seven homes, but has no particular hobbies, seldom accepts invitations to dinner, and even in Stockholm has become rather a legendary figure. Over the door of his office is a carved torch. In addition to his office, he has also a silent room, to which only he and the janitor have keys and in which he must...
...History of Medicine and installed Dr. Welch as its head. Dr. Wilmer. William Holland Wil mer, 66, tall, blondish son of an Episcopal Bishop, is incontestably the greatest eye surgeon the U. S. has ever had.* Every U. S. President from Grover Cleveland on has needed eyeglasses, although they seldom were pictured wearing them. Dr. Wilmer has taken care of them all.

Miss Wethered's supple shadow has thus come to dominate women's golf abroad and, to a large extent, in the U. S. Since Miss Wethered seldom bothers to play in tournaments any more, the British Women's National played without her last week at Broadstone was little more than a series of illustrations of how well or badly England's golfstresses had mastered their copybook. Mrs. Herbert Guedalla, who as Edith Leitch sometimes used...
...fact that undergraduate feeling, in general as well as in the particular instance of football, is almost universally grossly misinterpreted must be taken into consideration. Students seldom reach the heights of enthusiasm about anything, and they never stay on those heights for long. Whatever minor evils it causes as a temporary distraction, football certainly does not have and never can have a great enough hold on the undergraduate permanently to warp his point of view or seriously to interfere with his education...
