Last month Harvard Professor Elliott Carr Cutler, 1909 Class Marshal, remembered his pleasant post-graduate visit with "Putzy's" family in Munich. To the reunion invitation Professor Cutler added a personal note asking "Putzy" to be an aide and wear a silk hat and a frock coat again at Cambridge in June. In Berlin last week, invitation in hand, exuberant, psychic Herr Hanfstaengl bubbled: "I am looking forward to the reunion with the greatest anticipation. I may even, as a surprise, take with me my film, Hans Westmar [TIME, Dec. 25]. That film can show better than any words...
Because Gobelin tapestry experts in 1892 fixed its date as about the time of Christ, because chemical analyses proved its stains to be blood, the Holy Tunic would seem to have better claims to authenticity than two other famed relics, the Holy Coat of Trier and the Holy Shroud of Turin. The Holy Shroud of Turin, an ancient piece of linen cloth in a silver casket locked with three silver keys, has belonged to the House of Savoy for 500 years. In 1898 it was the centre of a bitter controversy when art-historians suggested its outline of Christ...
...Freethinkers have been collecting funds to erect a statue of their agnostic hero, first planning to dedicate it on the centenary of his birth last August. Sculptor Gutzon Borglum, commissioned to make the statue, completed in his Texas studio a clay model of the orator, in frock coat with arms akimbo.

Res. 21, President Roosevelt sign it and the Robert Ingersoll Monument Association (headed by his daughter Mrs. Maud...
...cellist at the Parma Conservatory. As a 'cellist he was playing in Rio de Janeiro when one night the regular conductor was unable to appear. In desperation the players remembered that Toscanini, then 19, seemed to know everything by heart. He had no dress coat. But the players hustled him into one, thrust a baton into his hand and boosted him on the conductor's stand. Without glancing at the score he gave such a flawless At da that he stayed on as conductor for the rest of the season. The players said then that he had memorized...
...meeting this problem it is necessary to have more careful surveillance of all who enter the Houses. As for thefts from the rooms, these are primarily the result of students' leaving doors unlocked. Disappearance of coats from the Union should be lessened by more widespread use of the check-room facilities. Checking systems should be established in the Houses, perhaps with automatic checking-racks installed. These racks are similar to those in railway station restaurants, with the coat held between two bars; as the bars are clamped together a metal check is pushed out, which is inserted in the slot...
