...Solid South that broke away and went Republican in 1928 will fall back into the Democratic ranks this year. This year Roosevelt seems to have a good chance to win the border states of Kentucky, Arkansas, and Oklahoma which would bring his total to 148. With this sum fairly sure, there is a possibility of adding greatly to his strength, further votes in the states west of the Mississippi River. Should he win the entire West and retain the South, Roosevelt would easily carry the election with a total of 274 electoral votes...
...York State; $12,500 interest on investments acquired by inheritance; $5,000 from a semi-inactive law practice, magazine articles, Mrs. Roosevelt's schoolteaching and her small furniture shop.

The single question of the fate of those not cared for by this scheme remains. These positions have been assigned to House residents alone, and there must be a number of men in the graduate schools and undergraduates living, for the sake of economy, in private houses, who must...
Professor Hind's constant aim in these lectures, delivered when he held the Charles Eliot Norton Chair of Poetry in 1930-31, was not to add to the general sum of knowledge about Rembrandt; but to stimulate and further enjoyment in his works. And for this reason the lectures avoid the stiff formality of a thesis, and present an attitude as delightful as it is rare toward the work of the greatest of the Flemish school...
