Ever since Stanford University began teaching medicine in 1909, its students have led an academic double life. At the university campus in Palo Alto, they learned anatomy, biochemistry, microbiology and physiology. At the 237-bed San Francisco Stanford Hospital on Clay and Webster Streets, 35 miles away, they studied pharmacology and pathology, did their clinical work under a topflight, largely volunteer staff of local physicians and surgeons, long rated as one of the best in the country...
Last week in Palo Alto, amid the pomp of an academic convocation, President J. E. Wallace Sterling dedicated Stanford's handsome new $21 million medical center (complete with 434-bed hospital), designed by Manhattan Architect Edward D. Stone (TIME, March 31, 1958). For the university's med students, who can now fulfill their degree requirements without commuting to another campus, the center is an unqualified blessing.

For French adults, that is. Vadim was denied an export permit, lest his picture corrupt less civilized foreigners...
...major event was the American premier of The Burnt Flower-Bed, written in 1952 by the late Italian dramatist Ugo Betti. Betti has been hailed as a greater playwright than Pirandello; he is certainly not that, but he does deserve a place among the most important modern writers for the theatre. This play deals with the problem of present-day nihilism and international political diplomacy. If it did not lapse periodically into propagandistic sermonizing, it would be a masterpiece...
