When a rich man or woman goes quietly for years about the business of subsidizing music, his philanthropy comes to be taken for granted. Manhattan three weeks ago heard with regret of the sudden passing of Harriet Bishop Lanier, relict of Banker James F. D. Lanier (Winslow, Lanier & Co.), who in 19 years gave nearly $1,000,000 toward the support of the Society of the Friends of Music. Fortnight ago people perfunctorily approved a memorial concert to Mrs. Lanier in which Conductor Artur Bodanzky presented the Actus Tragicus, Bach's mourning cantata. But last week musical people were...
...painting, the period gave us the work of Winslow Homer, Thomas Eakins, and Albert Pinkham Ryder--but with Mr. Mumford at this point we are forced to part company. Winslow Homer we are willing to praise, but the other two are unworthy of the high position the author accords them. Perhaps the fault lies in the perspective of each individual reader--Mr. Mumford has evidently forgotten his European background...
...nervous about pulling stakes. Here studied many a famed educator: Dean Shailer Mathews of the Divinity School of the University of Chicago; many a college professor; 38 U. S. college presidents (among them, oldtime presidents of Vassar, Michigan, Rochester, Centre, Colgate, Cincinnati; and Colby's present President Franklin Winslow Johnson). But noisy railroads and smelly pulp mills have lately encroached upon the old campus. Cramped for space, Colby has been unable to extend its facilities.

...sued for $660 in back rent. Her estranged husband, a 78-year-old dandy in a blue jacket, flowing red tie and handlebar mustaches, was also present. He is the John Gellatly from whom in 1929 Congress accepted a $4,000,000 art collection-Whistler, La Farge, Childe Hassam, Winslow Homer, George Inness, John Noble, J. Alden Weir, a fine collection of porcelains and 16th Century jewelry-for the Smithsonian Institution's National Gallery. He used to keep his collection,in a private gallery in Manhattan's arty Heckscher Building, did not invite the public. His money came...
...injuries received in an automobile accident near Aiken, S. C., last March while he was going to Fort Myers, Fla., to visit his friend Thomas Alva Edison. Born in Boston of a collateral branch of the presidential Adams family, he went to Manhattan in 1878 as a partner in Winslow, Lanier & Co. Reorganizer during the 1880's of many railroads, he reorganized in 1893 the $300,000,000 Northern Pacific of which he was board chairman in 1896-97. From 1890 to 1896 he was board chairman and president of American Cotton Oil Co., which he reorganized from American...
