Both Aristotle and Confucius taught the doctrine of the "Golden Mean", and this age-old truth may very well be applied to the problem of teaching and research. These two functions must be blended into a harmonious whole, if undergraduate instruction and the pursuit of knowledge are to benefit equally. At Harvard the balance is all askew; the pressure on young men to publish, or "perish", is so great that their teaching and tutorial sessions suffer. A man may be taught to lecture in a comparatively short time, but the gift of inspiration and ability to stimulate youth...
...largest mural finished under PWAP. Should a reader's attention wander, he would be instantly confronted by brilliantly colored likenesses of such assorted characters as Boccaccio, Gautama Buddha, Mayor Carter of Santa Monica, Adam & Eve, Cinemactress Gloria Stuart, Bach, Michael Faraday, Senator John P.

All this was the effort of Stanton Macdonald Wright, co-founder 22 years ago of the Synchromist movement in art, to wind Man's Imaginative and Inventive Development round four walls and over an information desk...

Among them: Homer's Odyssey, Shakespeare's Richard the Second, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes. The governor of a Chinese province once banned Alice in Wonderland because in it animals talked, thus putting themselves on a par with humans. Tsarist Russia, fearful lest moppets get fantastic ideas, banned Hans Christian Andersen's Fairy Tales...
...that the leaderless conference was becoming unruly. Gandhi excused himself. Doris Duke Cromwell & husband started for Bombay to resume their honeymoon. A United Pressman quoted her as saying: "I felt, in meeting this world-famous advocate of peace and nonviolence, that I had talked to a Messiah, comparable to Confucius, Buddha, Christ or Mohammed. There seemed an amazing paradox in this Hindu Messiah's opposition to what he felt to be the oppression of Great Britain, one of the most powerful of the nations which practice the precepts of Jesus Christ...
