Wrote William Andrew Me Andrew: "Norman Rockwell, erstwhile giver of delight by his depiction of lovable and quaint rugged individualists, took the Evening Post's money to do this ulcerous thing. . . . No decent allegiance to the American ideals of education, as formulated by Washington, Franklin and other founders of the nation . . . can be maintained if public prints throw disrespect on education and on women. The cartoonists drawing teachers depict pretty women, now. The Saturday Evening Post's bad break is probably a relapse, a case of atavism, a recollection by some unhappy old man who told Rockwell what...

S. way," George Gershwin worked earnestly for two years, visited Charleston, for local atmosphere, closeted himself in his penthouse apartment for five hours a day, composed steadily in town throughout the summer, clad in beach shorts and shirt.

The culminating panel, Muralist Katz decided, should represent modern Youth walking between its twin heritages of creation and destruction...
...Yarrow, 43, no Princetonian, but a well-known portraitist who divided his time between Dublin, N. H. and Florence, Italy to compose the triumphs of the Orange & the Black. Big, bold figures drawn from undergraduate models with technical advice from coaches and team captains, Artist Yarrow's works depict a relay race in which Princeton has the inside track and a Yale runner has collapsed; a many-muscled Princeton gymnast about to rise straight in the air toward a pair of rings; a crew race on Carnegie Lake in which Harvard's No. 4 is catching a crab...
