...spent all his life making money, and, when he became old and realized the end was near, was at a loss to know what disposition to make of his wealth. He was true to himself and left it all to his wife, Mrs. Sage, who, with a clearer vision and higher purpose, founded the famous Russell Sage Foundation, which has done, and is still doing, a great work...
...time than most writers can put into twenty of print. The books are illuminated by drawings from the pens of Tenniel, Swain, Partridge, Du Maurier and many others who have made both "Punch" and themselves famous. And it is in these cartoons that Mr. Punch betrays his prophetic vision; in the very opening of the third volume we find "Wilful Wilhelm", with the famous "Dropping the Pilot" cartoon in the background, reciting this "Imperial German Nursery Rhyme...

True, there are some who have had the mechanical training--builders of sanitary systems, waterworks architects, city planner--; and some who have had adequate medical training; but practically none who have had both. To offer a combined training is the purpose of the new school...
...magnitude of such a project as this "Plan of New York" and the problems to be overcome before it can begin to be realized are evident. What has already been accomplished by the "Plan of Chicago" undertaken less thoroughly and less far-sighted in vision, shows the possibilities for city-development carefully planned with practical idealism.

Certainly, there is no question that the city has reached its saturation point...
...observations made at the University are said to confirm the accuracy of many of the laws of vision worked out through totally different methods by psychologists. The recent investigators have measured carefully the way in which the response of the eye varies according to the intensity and duration of the light which shines upon it. By thus finding out more about the natural laws which govern the transmission of messages from the eyes to the brain, they hope in some degree to make it easier for the medical profession in the future to understand and treat defects of vision...
