...followers could also take pleasure in Artist Jules's restrained, luminous color. Best pictures: Little Tailor, showing, through the huge foreground frame of a sewing machine, a pallid gnome bent over his stitching; Mine Baseball, in which the figures of the players are dark on a field yellow with late afternoon sunlight against a dark background of mine breakers and hills; Jury, whose procession of fat and lean brainless bourgeois figures directly recalled Daumier's treatments of the same subject; The Liberals, which presents, out on a limb, the Scientist, the Man who Sees Both Sides, the Indecisive...

So hard did young Mr. McIlhenny plug at this task of curatorial scholarship that his exhibition is by way of being a landmark in the scientific treatment of art. On the cover of the Daumier catalogue is no lithograph or painting but an X-ray photograph. The X-ray shows a section of the wood...
Though the faculty is large and well-paid (up to $9,600 for a full professor), it boasts few big names. Outstanding are Short Story Editor Blanche Colton Williams, Philosophers Harry Allen Overstreet and Morris Raphael Cohen, Artist Joseph Cummings Chase. Campus life such as exists in private and State universities is lacking, but City College is trying to supply this with a house plan, Hunter with teacher-student teas...
