...been chief architect for the 1915 show. When he died two years ago he was succeeded by Arthur Brown Jr., another Panama-Pacific architect. Outstanding characteristic of the rest of the Fair architects, as of the exposition they designed, was their collaborative harmony. Fellow members of the Bohemian Club, august sanctuary of San Francisco tradition, most of them shared a mellow view of architecture and were damned if they would kill themselves advancing the modern cause in new materials and organic form. New York City's 1939 Fair already had a lien on the World of Tomorrow. Chairman Kelham...
...this light that we publicly condemn the fascist position towards science. The racial theories which they advocate have been demolished time and again. We need only point to the work of Heinrich Hertz in physics, Fritz Haber and Richard Willstatter in chemistry, Ludwig Traube, Paul Ehrlich and August Wassermann in biology and medicine, all German Jews and all empirical [observational and experimental] scientists. The charge that theory leads to a crippling of experimental research is ... a denial of the whole history of modern physics.

Naturally, this august ruling body is not enmeshing itself financially, for it has stipulated that no awards, which amount to $500 apiece, will be made unless the Undergraduate Committee on Refugee Students can raise an equalize. Furthermore, the University is in part covered by a generous gift of $5000, and it looks very probable that the remainder will be donated...
...Behind this shift of allegiance lay a long story: born in Brooklyn 44 years ago, he migrated to Australia with his parents at eight, returned to the U. S. to school, was in college at Melbourne when the War broke out. He fought at the Dardanelles from May through August 1915, was transferred to the Western front, where he went through the battles of the Somme, Passchendaele, Arras, Amiens...
