The piece argues that non-graduates often fare as well or better than degree holders across government, arts, business, and industry, citing Yale statistics and urging balanced views on education. It notes college breadth and efficiency benefits while cautioning money as the sole metric and mentions legal actions against monopolies and a Calumet & Arizona stock case with large gains and dividends. It ends by noting Professor Carrel’s work on sustaining flesh for grafting in cold storage.

Hill Power Behind Western Pacific Traffic Manager Move
Rail hobbyists claim Edwin Hawley secured Thomas M. Schumacher’s appointment as Traffic Manager of the Western Pacific and then of the Rio Grande. Hawley’s ties to James J. Hill are noted as Hill men gain posts, with Levey rising to VP and GM of the Western Pacific. A theory says Burlington will become eastern outlet, and a Denver and Rio Grande absorption may link Denver to San Francisco by April 30. Schumacher remains in place as general traffic manager.
