Like almost every other artist of the Renaissance, Tintoretto painted the legend of the "exceeding delicate" Susanna, wife of Joakim, who was spied on by two amorous elders while taking an oil bath with "washing balls" in an orchard.

The last "Transcript" carries the story of Professor Julian Taylor, who has taught Latin at Colby continuously for sixty-three years. A scholar of the old sort who has been to a remarkable degree a friend of four...
...establishment of an impartial tribunal to investigate alleged breaches of the Delhi pact (TIME, March 2), as Gandhi had first demanded, but he did say that he would have some of the more startling charges looked into. The Mahatma retired to his mountain retreat near Simla, took a ceremonial bath, repeated a litany 1,008 times with some disciples, began his wild dash for London...
