So the youths rise...
...bitter complaint on the part of Mrs. Logan over the picture to which the Institute's committee had awarded the Logan prize (Doris Lee's Thanksgiving) won Mrs. Logan a surprising amount of space in the U. S. press (TIME, Nov. 18, 1935, et seq.). Since then she has appointed herself a champion of academic painting in the U. S., and the fullest explanation of her position to date is Sanity...
