Louis L. Jaffe LL.B. '28, Dean of the Faculty of Law at the University of Buffalo, has been appointed a professor of Law at Harvard Law School, Dean Erwin N. Griswold LL.B. '29 announced last night...
...year, Jaffe was a law clerk to Justice Louis D. Brandeis '78 of the United States Supreme Court. In the following three years he worked for various government agencies, doing legal work. In 1936 he was appointed professor of Law at the University of Buffalo, and in 1946 became Buffalo Law Dean...
Remembering this Song of Solomon, 800 German mystics journeyed west from Buffalo, N.Y. in 1855 to found a communistic settlement of farmers on a hill overlooking the Iowa River. They called it "Amana" (Faithfulness), and they thought that man could be faithful to God only if he were untroubled by wealth. Land was held in common; meals were eaten in community dining halls.

Their hickory-smoked Westphalian-style hams and ripe Schwartenmagen cheeses became famed throughout...

"Buffalo Bill" worries about the problems of old age in America, "natural" vs. "scientific" medicine, journalistic responsibility, and the degradation of royalty as it wallows in its plot; "Western Union" sticks to putting up its telegraph line. "Buffalo Bill" gapes for minutes at a time at its overdressed heroine--it was a dour day when someone discovered that Alexis Smith in tights, watching a bar-room brawl, could pull in millions of dollars from audiences that had formerly found Westerns beyond comprehension...
