...Sumners Act-passed with no furor at all in the early stages of the Court fight last winter-gave Supreme Court Justices who were over 70 the right to retire instead of resigning, with full pay of $20.000 a year guaranteed against any possible reduction by Congress. Justice Willis Van Devanter retired last May. Justice Sutherland's letter consequently reduced the rock-ribbed conservative element on the bench to two (Justices Butler and McReynolds), removed the potential balance of power from the middle-of-the-road conservatives (Chief Justice Hughes and Justice Roberts), gave the liberal wing (Justices Brandeis...
...past five years Taliesin has been a workshop, farm and studio for more than a score of apprentices who are interested in architecture as Frank Lloyd Wright understands it. During its first winter the Taliesin Fellowship spent most of its time cutting wood in two shifts to keep the fires going. Since then, its life has been less defensive.

So, as the cold days are moving by, the vast expanse of Soldiers Field is only waiting to be of some use to the college during the winter, and to give harried students fresh air and exercise at a time when they need them most...
...will never be privileged to use its libraries and laboratories. Mr. Mahoney's Recreation Division is empowered by law to supply workers to private playgrounds with the sanction of the owner. A step in this direction was made last week when the University allowed a worker to superintend the winter sports on the ground around the Observatory. But this was a trifling concession. Since Harvard closed the Divinity School grounds some years ago, the firm of John P. Squire & Co. has far surpassed it in opening lands to local children...
