Replies have recently been received to a circular letter sent out by President Penniman of the University of Pennsylvania, in which the following question was propounded: "In the light of your career since graduating, what in your college education appears now to have been of greatest value to you?" The replies comprise an almost limitless variety of benefits,--such as "training in Investigating a subject", "mental, moral, and physical a training", 'contact with faculty members and students", "studious and orderly habits of thought", "knowledge of human nature", "responsibility", "general culture", "general orientation of the different branches of knowledge", "labor, determination...

It shows marked Byzantine influence and in its turn became a model for several college chapels in Oxford and Cambridge, England. It seems likely that...

...chitchat, the gibble-gabble, the pussy-words of Manhattan sophisticates, the wisecracks sprung in the hashhouses of 44th Street, the nicknames of semi-celebrities? That poor old lady. It will not be for the old lady in Dubuque. That was a good sentence. The editors put it in their circular. They put it in letters to possible subscribers, they wrote it large on cards which they tacked up about the town...
...Senior Album Committee, which recently completed its organization and began active work, announced last night that more than 800 envelopes, containing a life blank, a circular letter of instructions, a subscription card, and a return envelope, had been mailed to every eligible past and present member of the class of 1925. Seniors who plan to gradate at mid-years have been particularly requested to make appointments at Notman's immediately, and to return their life-blanks at once. All other Seniors must be photographed before February 14. Notman does this service free of charge, and their work will be greatly...
