...meeting of Phi Beta Kappa alumni, related Science and the Humanities. Himself a member of Phi Beta Kappa and Sigma Xi (science honor society), he suggested that since modern science owes its beginnings to oldtime scholars of the humanities, the two branches of knowledge should come in closer contact today through a union of Phi Beta Kappa, scholastic society, and Tau Beta Pi, engineering honor fraternity. "Science and humanism must be linked together in our thinking. ... In that marriage, I suggest that Phi Beta Kappa as the older society be given the rights of the male; that is, the giving...
...SALOON IN THE HOME-Ridgely Hunt & George S. Chappell-Coward-McCann ($2).* Compilers Hunt & Chappell put up a blatant front of impartiality on the Wet & Dry question. At the top of every page they reprint some moral tale or verse from some such temperance sourcebook as No Gin Today, Anecdotes from the Platform, Temperance Annual; then counter at the bottom with recipes for drinks.

We believe the American people owe this achievement to ... your sane and progressive leadership. . . . We . . . express our deep gratitude for what you have accomplished during the past year and . . . assure you that you will have in the continuation of your policies . . . the unqualified...
Sole national competitors to the Exhibitors Herald-World (circ. 12,000, more than blanketing the 9,500 owners of U. S. pictures houses) were Motion Picture News, Exhibitors Daily Review & Motion Picture News Today, and Film Daily. The new lineup of head men in the film industry (No. 1 still Adolph Zukor, No. 2 Harley L. Clarke instead of William Fox) made it seem wise and profitable for Publisher Quigley to acquire all but Film Daily and try to give the film industry something comparable to the steel industry's august Iron...
