He closed his office every afternoon for 18 months, studied with a tutor. He attributes his business success, however, to the book Everybody Ahead, or Getting the Most out of Life by the famed success-philosopher Orison Swett Marden...
...waters. Blue-coated, brass-buttoned tacticians directed and studied these patterns. Now the vessels drove ahead in files, now they spread out in phalanges.

...development which is basically sound, elaborate and idealistic as it might at first appear. Disregarding the social and educational ramifications of the experimental project, it has offered in a new and second Yard a practical solution of the future construction problem. Passing over the question of the problematic success or failure of the proposed hoses, the Council points to the present opportunity of strengthening the physical homogeneity of the college. The aim of its report is fundamentally to direct the additions to the College into such channels as will assure not merely architectural harmony but a symmetrical unification...
