...spite of Mr. Tumulty, as if were, there comes to the reader one firm conviction--that. Woodrow Wilson was thoroughly sincere in every action; that he never acted without the certain belief that what he did was right. No matter what may be our opinion of his leadership, his judgment, his diplomacy (and even these, one may believe, will appear better from a distance), this memory of him is destined to live; in everything he did as President he was a high-minded patriot and a sincere idealist...
...George A. Plimpton, senior partner of Ginn and Company, the New York publishing firm, will open an exhibition of early textbooks and manuscripts contemporary with Dante in the Treasure Room of the Widener Library at four o'clock on Sunday afternoon, when he will give a short talk on "The Education of Dante".

Senator Albert J. Beveridge of Indiana will be the guest of honor at an informal dinner of the Indiana Club of the University at the Parker House at 6.30 o'clock this evening. Mr. G. B.

All Indiana men in the University and their friends are invited to attend the dinner...

And that is saying a great deal for not only were Mr. Conant's Spanish drawings almost poignantly beautiful, but the architecture of those sun-flooded towns south of the Pyrenees if of itself more stimulating, more...
Every aesthetic possibility of these seeming-fragile structures, these English cathedrals, Mr. Conant has realized and rendered with short, firm staccato pencil strokes. All the training of the professional architect is behind him, and that implies a solidity of handling unknown to the disintegrated impressionist schools. (Nothing could be more different, for instance, than three etchings of Venetian Palazzi by Whistler, which hang on one of the other walls of the room.) One notes too a technical advance over the Spanish drawings, a greater range of values, in particular a greater use of black...
