...Insurance Co. pointed at a bookkeeper's entry sheet-his company had loaned $5,745,075 on real estate first mortgages last week, and of this had allotted but $25,000 to Manhattan. He still meant what he had said a year ago: "Lofts, office buildings and high-grade apartment construction was overdone. These types are overbuilt and we will not finance any more buildings of this character. However, we are lending money for small apartments or flat houses and one and two-family houses."

Crew work this year is being conducted on a plan somewhat different from that of previous years. The underlying idea is to give every man every possible opportunity to demonstrate his ability. With this in mind, there was no effort made last fall to grade the crews. There were some fourteen crews on the University squad at the beginning of fall rowing.

The exigencies of the grade make it desirable that dirt be available to fill in around the foundations of the first, and it is to meet this need that excavations are being delayed on the second...
...Strictly speaking the assistance offered by Phi Beta Kappa men should not be called tutoring: it is rather advice. Presumably a man elected to the Phi Beta Kappa Society has done work distinctly above the average grade in his courses and may be expected to have got more than the average return from them. That is probably owing in part to the fact that he has learned how to organize his work, where to put the emphasis in a given course, and how to review most effectively. If this kind of information can be passed along to students to whom...
