Just eight months ago King Edward VIII trudged through the coal dust of South Wales "Distressed Areas" on what the British press called his "errand of mercy" (TIME, Nov. 30). After looking at the treeless, blackened hillsides, the abandoned coal mines, the pitiful brick hovels, the haggard faces of the inhabitants, more than 45,000 of whom were unemployed and only 2,000 employed at the time, His Majesty exclaimed publicly: "Something must be done for Wales...
...Return)* he came to the U. S. in 1934, gave exhibitions in Pittsburgh and Manhattan (TIME, Dec. 3, 1934). Last November he came again for good.

Stone, the new museum will be a block of concrete, white marble, dark stone, glass brick and plate glass, the first "functional" museum building in the U. S. Taking advantage of its $1,000,000, block-deep plot, almost the entire ground floor of the new museum will be walled with glass, so that pedestrians on 53rd Street will be able to see temporary exhibitions...
...aspersions should be cast on this addition to Winthrop because of its appearance. The Kirkland House library is a charming example of how refreshing a frame building can be in this brick and stone University. But nevertheless, for Harvard to be forced to open a tiny unit like the Riverside hall, which will indeed barely scrape the surface of a really important habitation problem, is for the University to admit just how difficult that problem has become. Rearrangement of suites here and there has made available in all accomodations for about fifteen more men in the Houses--a few squirm...
