Union Seminary, largest theological workshop in the U. S., famed for recondite scholarship and "heretics," has been seeking an endowment of four millions. Lately, Dr. Harry Emerson Fosdick, noted Unionite, returned from a swing around the country bearing with him a goodly portion of the sum, including the munificence of Benjamin Thaw of Pittsburgh. A fortnight ago, Mrs. Louise Carnegie, widow of historic Andrew, added $100,000 to the total...
...tempted to linger over the editorials and reviews, for reasons which will become apparent. Under the chastely classical heading of "47 Obitt", the editors bestrew the grave of the Workshop with a few choice pleas and wave the reader on to more extended articles on the subject in the body of the magazine; they further regretfully observe, in the succeeding editorial, that Mrs. Grundy, in the person of the Library authorities, persists in seeing it through.

Like the Workshop the Dramatic Club has in the last few years built up an enviable reputation for serious artistic performance, and now, and apparently for some time to come, it will have to be the main resource of members of the University who are interested in this most...
...organized at Smith College a Theatre Workshop, modeled after the 47 Workshop at Harvard. The Smith Director is Samuel A. Eliot Jr., a talented, intense, egotistical grandson of President-Emeritus Charles A Eliot of Harvard. As a Harvard undergraduate, young Mr. Eliot embraced the cause of woman's suffrage. Later, when he was a professor of English, a theatrical laboratory similar to the one he had seen operating at Harvard gave scope to his feminist enthusiasms, through the production of plays written by and for women. Last month, Mr. Eliot and associates opened the Studio Theatre in Manhattan...
