...President, but de facto President of Stanford in the absence of Dr. Wilbur. Her chief qualities: imperturbability and omniscience. She out-poker-faces that other Helen of California, and she knows instantly every rill of information that affects or may affect the University. Is there an unwise movement developing in the student body? She touches invisible button number one, and the matter ends. Does a faculty member sponsor a doubtful local issue? Invisible button number two avoids the difficulty, and it is done so skillfully that neither student nor faculty member holds the slightest rancor, nor in fact quite knows...
...done no monumental work, has made no serious contribution to our knowledge, through a period of years that has seen tremendous advances in ophthalmology. Though I hold no brief for any one of them, there are several men in this country who have been leaders in this movement-among them Dr. de Schweinitz, who gets honorable mention being "also the son of a bishop."

The past 20 years they have been spreading a general lesson?protect mental health and treat the mentally ill humanely, intelligently. In the future they will teach specifically how to prevent mental and nervous troubles, how to treat and cure developed cases. TIME'S reference to what Yale's President James Rowland Angell said at the mental hygiene dinner last fortnight gave an erroneous impression. Yale was not the first school to have a staff psychiatrist...
...three requirements of a musical comedy star to a well balanced degree. She is attractive to look at, her voice is pleasant enough in tone, if lacking in volume, and her dancing is well above the average. She dances easily and lightly with an unusual charm and grace of movement. One feature, "The Ballet of Dreams" stands out above the rest, an exhibition of toe dancing exemplifying the charm and grace of movements peculiar to this dance other than exaggerated pirouettes...
