...present, the display represents a great many different artists and styles. One point is uniform, however, for the Germans almost without exception are unusual draftsmen. The use of light and shadow in works such as the nudes of Georg Kolbe and Lismann brings out solid forms with fine clarity. The sharp delineation of line in etchings, woodcuts, and pen sketches creates lively real results...
...frequency of late--are attacking Harvard University. Within its hollow bowels have lurked a variety of "hostile" uniforms--hues of the American Legion, the Cambridge police, the anti-Red sharpshooters, the purple gown of state legislators. Nor are civilian denizens unknown. Teachers antiquated in theory and doctrine, full of fine words, but lacking research, have been glimpsed.

Though the E.B. & S. action by no means insures that it or some other company may not otherwise fight the Holding Company Act, President Roosevelt and Chairman Douglas at once issued huzzas. The President said that E.B. & S.'s action was a fine example of the cooperation the White House "spokesman" requested in his "sabre-rattling" discourse fortnight ago and would certainly 'help business generally. What was more, said Mr. Roosevelt, the utility industry would discover that the so-called "death sentence" was really a health sentence and would revitalize the industry (see p. 9).
