...Shipping Board last week sold the four ships of the Pan-America Line. The Pan-America, Southern Cross, Western World and American Legion, combination cargo and passenger ships of the "President" type, have plied between the Atlantic Coast and South America. They were operated for the Government under contract by the Munson Line and constituted one of the major services still operated for the Government. The last big sale of a going line was that of the California-Orient Line to the Dollars (TIME...
...Last of Mrs. Cheyney. Before the dawn of realism, romanticism, expressionism and the other isms by which the modern theatre is cataloged, there was a type of drawing room comedy which served as staple entertainment. Wilde, Pinero and Henry Arthur Jones all worked industriously in this medium, thereby gaining fame and gold. Of late years the drawing room has been virtually unoccupied.

And in Bunnell Yale has a cool, experienced, and flashy quarterback who is indispensable to the smoothness of the Blue attack. Harvard will do well to stop this brilliant quartet today...
...different results and, properly enough, approve different methods. A four year college course intends to develop the student's cultural background. It may succeed only to a deplorably small extent, but that is the intention behind it, and its eminently valid excuse for existence. On the other hand, the type of education which Dean Hawkes champions concerns itself more immediately with a profession. On the ground that an attorney or business man must be fairly well informed--fairly is good enough, it seems--two years are allowed him to humanize himself; after that, he becomes a specialist preparing...
