Luis Sort, leading modern architect and town planner of Spain, and Vice President of the Congres Internationaux de I'Architecture Moderne, will give a public lecture on "Can Our Cities Survive?", Tuesday afternoon at 4:30 o'clock, in the lecture room on the first floor of Hunt Hall...
...things have made Chancellor Bow man one of the most talked-about U. S. educators: his football team and his (still unfinished) 42-story Cathedral of Learning, which he has been building these 18 years. To picture this cathedral to the architect, he played the Magic Fire Music from Die Walküre on a phonograph. "There you have it," he said. "Climax rising above climax." As Dr. Bowman's Cathedral rose, so did his highhandedness. He fired liberal teachers right and left; during the purge 25 walked the plank, 59 quit.

In a comfortable London house near Regent's Park, filled with his Greek and Egyptian treasures, Freud answers letters, continues his writing, even treats a few old patients. Every Sunday evening he settles down in the parlor, coddles his five young grandchildren, enjoys a lively card game called tarot with his sons. Always at his call is his nine-year-old chow dog, Lun. During his 16 years...
