...Horace Greeley will lead a veritable parade of publicists and orators of his late lamented century into Harvard 2 at 10 o'clock. Syndicates and the radio have done for these--although we still have Dr. Cadman--and Professor Murdock may deliver a genuine obituary. But for my aesthetics--at noon, I mean to wander through the stone and plaster that line the corridors of Robinson Hall to hear Professor Edgell in Fine Arts 4a, discourse on Ammanati, della Porta, and early masters of the grand baroque which fills the heel of Italy...
