...Briskly up to the White House, with the orchids on her sealskin coat bobbing in the morning breeze, walked Mrs. Franklin Delano Roosevelt to inspect her home after March 4. Mrs. Hoover received her in the Green Room. From there they went on a complete tour of the White House from attic to basement. Mrs. Hoover pointed out the furniture that was private property.

Frosty old Dr. Lowell, 76, is retiring (TIME, Nov. 28). Announcement of his plan last week was like a graceful curtain speech at the end of a farewell tour. Immediately it was estimated that the endowment of the Society of Fellows is $1,000,000. Dr. Lowell is rich for a pedagog. He gave the President's House in Harvard Yard, the $750,000 New Lecture Hall, kept the benefactions secret until months afterward. Many people believed last week that some day the Society of Fellows would be revealed as coming from Dr. Lowell's purse as well...
