There lies before only the prospect of weary days in Sever and weary nights in Widener. And what a bad time to study it is. Berkeley appears even more esoteric and fanciful than in January. Surely it must have been in March that Johnson bade him go kick a stone. The gilt shimmer of Imperial Napoleon tarnishes under the leaden light of a March sky and there is soil upon the green breeches. Rousseau weeping for his brain children beneath the trees seems only rather maudlin where before his cries ran down the avenues of revolution. The Vagabond, being...
Photographer Arnold Genthe, Director Alon Bement of the National Alliance of Art & Industry. No awards were ever more welcome; most of the seven prize-winners bitterly needed the money. The $150 Robert C. Ogden prize for the "most outstanding" work went to Sargent Claude Johnson of Berkeley, Calif, for two neo-Mexican colored drawings and a porcelain figure of a praying child with a fine Persian green glaze. Artist Johnson is an old hand at Harmon honors, has won two others...
...this case because it is handled with cumbersome efforts to achieve atmosphere and because it delays almost indefinitely the best part of the picture, the show-within-a-show which the producers were ingenious enough to call, not Forty-Second Street, but Pretty Lady.

Californians trust Professor Lipman ("Lippy" to students). He is one of the most learned men at Berkeley, and eminently practical. About ten years ago he became interested in curing iron deficiency in fruit trees by injecting certain liquids into the trunks. His technic has saved many a tree. Later he showed lumbermen how to poison trees destined for marine construction or telephone poles. The poisons repel molds, fungi, borers and other wood-destroying agents...
...Carnegie Endowment for International Peace considered a Czech electrical device for analyzing chemicals so highly useful that it imported the inventor last week, let him pause only briefly in Manhattan, sent him post-haste to Berkeley, Calif. There he will be Professor Charles Bernard Lipman's house guest. After the University of California has Professor Jaroslav Heyrovsky for one month, he will spend another month at Stanford. Then Caltech will get him for two months. He expects those institutions, and many other rich ones, will buy his device. Enterprising Universities of Michigan, Chicago and Ohio already have them, only...
