P: Long unpaid, Chicago school teachers made $2,500 by presenting the School Scandals of 1932, a revue dealing with the celebrated troubles of the Chicago Board of Education. Last fortnight the Board received a twelve-volume survey of the schools (cost: $100,000) from Dr. George Drayton Strayer of Teachers' College, Columbia University. Chief recommendation: that $16,000,000 be pruned from the 1933 budget of $90,000,000.

P:Lafayette College (Easton, Pa.) observed its 100th commencement. For the first time, the graduating class breakfasted in a body with President & Mrs. William Mather Lewis, hoped to make it an annual custom. Last month Lafayette had extensive centennial celebrations. Of 6,000 living alumni, some 1,600 (over 25%) were present, which was reckoned a record for any college. Proud also is Lafayette of The Biography of a College,* recently published, a compendious but lively account of its growth by Secretary of the Board of Trustees David B. Skillman.

At Germantown Academy (Pa.), Cornelius Alexander McGillicuddy Jr., son of the Athletics' famed manager, won the Robert E. Lamberton Medal for the best record in athletics (baseball, basketball, football) and scholarship.

Culver Military Academy (Culver, Ind.) also passed from private ownership. Founded in 1894 by Henry Harrison Culver, St. Louis stove manufacturer, Culver has been owned and operated (without profit) by the heirs, who turned over to a trust foundation last week their interests, some $6,000,000 in property and other assets.
