Art Students: Scholarships, Not Buildings

“Concerned that Art Center College of Design is putting too much money and energy into expanding its campus and promoting itself to outsiders — and not enough into scholarships and instruction — hundreds of students and alumni of the elite private college in Pasadena are petitioning its trustees to suspend plans for a $50-million building by Frank Gehry.”

John S. Zinsser Jr., 84

“Zinsser was associate editor, executive editor and later editor in chief of Reader’s Digest Condensed Books from 1951 to 1987. The series, which began in 1950 and ran 47 years under that name, provided subscribers with three to six shortened best sellers in anthologies that were, at first, published four times a year, and later every other month. It is now known as Reader’s Digest Select Editions.”
