...President Coolidge awarded Miss Berry the Roosevelt Memorial Association medal "For Distinguished Service" (TIME, May 25, 1925). Last week. Miss Berry received yet another honor and reward. She won the annual prize of $5,000 given by Pictorial Review magazine to the U. S. woman who has made the greatest contribution to art, letters, science or the social sciences. None doubted that Miss Berry would immediately turn the $5,000 to profit for her school...

The Christmas carols conducted by Dr. Davison, with such reward to all who hear them; the playing of the organ there each day for a few minutes before the beginning of midyear examinations; the singing of the chapel choir; and organ recitals--these are the majority's reasons for going to chapel.

Here Bill Tilden. Charlie Paddock, Amelia Earhart proclaim their remunerative devotion to the goddess (though Amelia did send her $10,000 reward to Byrd for his Antartic expedition). Soon Elnatein will be sold for "Not a cough in a carload"; and James Joyce's books, because "They are mild--yet they satisfy." Morning, evening, all day long chant the priests "Advertisa is great. Advertisa is great. Blessed be Advertisa, mother of Mammon. Bigger...
