This is a small detail, but considering that his diploma is about all a graduating senior has to show for his four years in college, outside of a financial headache, I think it deserves a little more pains. Mightn't a polite request to those in charge do the trick? I feel it is a pity that the oldest college in the country should present its graduates with an instrument that compares unfavorably in dignity to the degrees of "Chirotonsor", which are so prominently displayed in the Copley Plaza barber shop.

...taste and understanding supervise the process? Too much bad painting is as unfortunate as no painting at all. Good murals come high and Washington feels that Mechau's Dangers of the Mail ''has justified the entire PWA program." While it is merely a sketch and some detail is nice, it does not hold together, the centre is a confusing mass, it has no mural quality and is devoid of any feeling. I would suggest Mr. Mechau make less trips to the garbage can. As to Kenneth Adams' Rural Free Delivery 'twould do for the Ladies...
...States is called to the fact that Mae West has produced another screen play which she wrote herself. . . ." Whether or not Klondike Annie is really worth the attention of Congressmen will depend on how familiar they are with earlier West efforts from which the current one differs only in detail.

...different dance took root first in Germany shortly before the War when Rudolf von Laban propounded his theory that the important thing was free, inspired movement regardless of its form, that music was unnecessary, at best a mere appendage to real dynamic feeling. Laban theorized down to the smallest detail, studied movements in relation to character and mental attitudes. First to give his ideas concrete expression was his pupil, Mary Wigman, a tense, rawboned woman who was 27 before she decided on a dancer's career. Wigman soon claimed that she could feel herself "as one of the primal...
...that the Western World had been invaded in 1914 by a barbarian horde, an Xerxes' host, Theodor Wolff's study of war origins would seem a surprisingly civilized Persian version. The Eve of 1914 let no unsuspected wildcat out of the bag but recounted in scholarly, Teutonic detail the train of gunpowder facts that led from 1909 to the explosion five years later. Laymen found it hard going, but historians hailed it as important, called it the best study of war origins since Sidney Fay's The Origins of the World War. Was there any one person...
