What you’re looking at
The page contains a article titled "One on Prex Hadley?" discussing President Hadley of Yale University and criticism of his acceptance of a $1,000,000 donation from John D. Rockefeller for Yale's endowment fund. The article satirizes the tension between accepting "tainted money" from wealthy industrialists (Rockefeller was associated with Standard Oil monopoly practices) and upholding institutional principles. Senator Brandegee's response—urging the university to "consecrate" the money to noble purposes—is mocked as rationalization. The accompanying photograph shows what appears to be a formal church or university gathering with well-dressed men in conversation. Below this is an unrelated "Chorus Girl's Cook Book" section with recipes and humorous illustrations about preparing food.
