...present, enriched Man's theory of himself. This week one of the most brilliant living anthropologists, London's Bronislaw Malinowski, introduced to U. S. readers an emigre German professor's study of primitive art as "one of the first contributions to real anthropology . . . the only objective, clear and telling documentation of native opinion on Europeans...

To do this for a distinguished stranger is the highest honor the university can pay. Thus to honor Generalissimo Francisco Franco, undergraduates last year scraped clear many generations of inscriptions by the Cathedral door, then used almost a whole bull-ful of blood to write his name in a panel twelve feet high...
