...Governing Committee of the New York Stock Exchange. The "emergency" was of course the October-November break. The man was Richard Whitney, vice president of the Exchange, acting as president while E. H. H. Simmons was honeymooning. Whitney qualities praised in the resolution were "courage, resourcefulness, and sound judgment . . . rare qualities of leadership." Oldsters, saying this was the first instance of personal praise by the Committee, wagered Mr. Whitney will be elected president of the Exchange next May.

For despite its tail coats, pajamas and cocktails, the play is a pungent pastry out of the same sort of oven as produced the Restoration comedies...
...editorial candidate reports every night in the week except Saturday with one editorial on a Harvard topic or concerning some interesting aspect of the day's general news. He develops his own initiative in digging up subjects to write upon. His powers of judgment and analysis are given opportunity to show themselves in working up an intelligent, fresh comment. Little else can polish up his technical skill and his ability to write what he thinks as can the daily practice of writing a three hundred word editorial. Last but not least, the candidate has the benefit of a careful...
