...vogue of saying sensational things about colleges and college men has spread so widely of late that pungent opinions on the subject have ceased to be a cause of any deep concern. But though extreme remarks usually carry with them the warrant of their own weakness, some of them strike near enough the truth to be suggestive as caricatures. Into this class falls a remark recently published in a New York paper to the effect that colleges are not attended for the purpose of obtaining an education, but because it is the thing...
...course at the Harvard Law School. He became in 1898 Treasurer of Harvard when it had only $12,000,000. His wise management has raised this to $100,000,000.

T. & T., American Sugar Refining, Boston and Albany R. R., Amoskeag, Waltham Watch...
Emmett Lawrence of Georgia could move marble statuary. And many a sculptor found it out. Frederick MacMonnies, Daniel Chester French, Augustus Saint-Gaudens, George Grey Barnard-all employed Emmett Lawrence. They knew little about him, but it was enough.

The Flonzaleys have spread the gospel, making it possible for many to become acquainted with much of the world's most satisfying music. Some 2,000 concerts in 500 U. S. cities, some 500 more in Europe-so have they done what Banker deCoppet meant them to do. For balance, clarity and unity they have been and still remain the best of their kind...
Died. Briton Hadden, 31, of Manhattan, co-founder of TIME; of a streptococcus infection of the blood stream which became fatal when endocarditis developed.* Ill since early last December, he fought strongly against the infection's spread. Aided by blood transfusions every 48 hours he seemed to hold his own and even, for a week after his birthday (Feb. 18), to make progress. Death came suddenly at 4 a. m., Feb. 27, in the Brooklyn Hospital...
