Faculty Notes
UNDER THE DIRECTION of Prof. Ray Nash of the Art Department a new Boston and Maine timetable has been designed that the railroad officials believe is "foolproof." Professor Nash and the group of typographical experts which he headed have been experimenting for 28 months with various type faces and layouts in a search for a timetable for the Boston and Maine that can be easily and correctly read. The new simplified and improved edition of the B&M schedule is the result of these efforts and the railroad states that "it is our hope that it will for all time destroy the illusion of many that 'no one can possibly understand one of those complicated things.' The new one is as simple as ABC and a grammar school child can read it easily and correctly."
