...Pilot" of modern art. He discovered Soutine and, the story has it, once sold a hundred of his paintings in a single batch to the U.S. collector Albert Barnes. But as one of Paris's most successful art dealers, the late Paul Guillaume had one flaw: he would not part with what he loved best. For this the Louvre Museum expressed its heartfelt thanks last week, as it installed 145 paintings from the collection he had founded in its Orangerie pavilion...
...article in the April 1965 issue of Foreign Affairs magazine President Azikiwe, whose party controls the Eastern and Midwestern Regions, alluded to this flaw and suggested the breaking up of the country into small units rather like those in the United States of America.

First of all, 20 students is obviously a small sampling. Also, moving off-campus in February of one's senior year is considerably more troublesome than moving at the beginning of the school year. It is difficult to lease an apartment for a few months; it is inconvenient to hunt for an apartment while preparing for exams and writing a thesis. If for such reasons a comparatively small group of seniors applies, this...
