Something like this has been said before. The banker believes that college life develops "lazy habits of thinking," that it is too soft and easy. Yet the fact remains that many Wall Street houses give preference to college men as beginners, and the percentage of men with collegiate training who have done well in business and finance in New York City must be very high. Yet there must be times when, puzzled how to decide among the qualifications of more boys than there is room for, Dean Gauss and Dean Hoermance wish that Mr. Carlisle might win a few prosolytes...
...lineup for tomorrow's game has presented a considerable problem and Coach Horween has been experimenting with his forward wall throughout this week. Some definite decision seems to have been reached, however, and the line which is slated to face the West Pointers is rugged and powerful. O'Connell and Ogden will fill the right and left end positions which they have been holding all week. The question of the guard and tackle posts, which has been something of a mystery of late, seems to have been answered by the assignment of W. Ticknor and Davis respectively to these...
...floodlights and searchlights playing on Cellhouse No. 3. Two other cellhouses, the prison chapel and the messhall, were blazing ruins. In the prison "bull pen"-a sunken space at one side of the yard-some 400 convicts cowered in sullen terror, their shadows moving nightmarishly on the stone walls of the enclosure.

It was their fifth visit. Dutifully the swaying guests lined up along a wall, dutifully handed over $1,700 in cash, $7,500 in jewelry. But eager to please, the "baron robbers" this time added an innovation. They ordered "drinks for all, on the house," commanded the orchestra to play on. Guests with spirits revived continued to revel, forgot their losses, while the bandits returned jewels...
...Wailing Wall in Jerusalem last week a 90-year-old rabbi with a flowing white beard prayed for peace in a quavering voice. But this year's most notable observation of Rosh Hashanah, was in Manhattan, where the new and beautiful Temple Emanu-El, costing $8,000,000, was opened. Famed members of this synagog include, besides the late great Louis Marshall (TIME, Sept. 23), Daniel Guggenheim, Benjamin Mordecai, Adolph S. Ochs, Roger Williams Straus. Rabbi Nathan Krass told them the temple signified that "man doth not live by bread only...
