Notable among the primitives at Worcester was Memling's Martyrdom of St. Sebastian, from Brussels; among the 17th-Century paintings, Rubens' Holy Family Beneath the Apple Tree, also from Brussels. Principal weakness of the exhibition in the eyes of modern students was the fact that it included only two pictures by Pieter Breughel the Elder, the dominant Flemish genius of the 16th Century. At time when the guilds were breaking up and Italian Renaissance influence wa; breaking in, Breughel painted mischievous magnificent scenes of everyday Flemish life. The Worcester exhibition left U.

...Buried beneath an avalanche of facts, figures, and uninteresting detail there is in the report on Law School eating conditions this inescapable fact: no more than one third of the men are satisfied, and probably one half are dissatisfied, with conditions as they exist today. Such a general statement is necessarily subject to qualification on many different scores, and is based on returns from only one half of the graduate body; but nevertheless it carries important implications for all students -- undergraduates and graduates alike--who have hopes of obtaining from the University their daily bread...

But that is exactly the position adopted by wrestling coaches, especially throughout New England.

Such a situation is much different from that of a football team, for instance, where one man does the dirty work of blocking and tackling to the exclusion of any spectacular ball-carrying...
...wavering views on American foreign policy: but the repeated contemplation of these murals has given us so colorful a picture of the sacrifice by which we made the world safe for democracy that we are forever Mr. Sargent's debtors. The quality of the paintings and of the poetry beneath has been many times profaned, but we can scarcely imagine a finer reflection of the spirit with which our soldiers with one embrace clasped Death and Victory. From our point of view this is genuine art, since it has the happy faculty of satisfying both its admirers and detractors...
