A New York man Clarence Frothersbee Smythe aims to be the most cultured person of his era. He devours books and trivia, becomes a social bore, loses his job for lacking practical finance skills, and ends up wandering, living rough after being fired.
Fred A. Goldberg of Harvey Wrecking Co leads the demolition of the Morrison Hotel at Clark and Madison in Chicago. A 30 ton crane will dismantle the 637 foot building from the top down with night work planned, finishing in 15 months.
Ray Witte temporary chairman of the Middletown Area Parents League announces Don Daly as chairman of a six member committee to select a slate of league officers and governors and draft a constitution. Other members include James VanAtta Mrs Frank Rawls Mrs James Hay Rabbi William Gordon the Rev Rudolph Pringle and Mrs James Anderson.
On his 60th birthday Frothersbee spends hours at the public library and lectures endlessly. Two men in white jackets seize him and send him to a booby hatch where he still lectures on topics like the zither’s influence on Austrian economics. The moral: culture is shaped by people not by culture itself.
