Like many of St. Louis' facultymen and students, quiet, scholarly Dr. Moyer Springer Fleisher, ousted head of the University Medical School's bacteriology department, is neither a Jesuit nor a Roman Catholic. Two and a half years ago he became a sponsor of the Medical Bureau to Aid Spanish Democracy. St. Louis' Jesuit trustees were annoyed. When, year and half ago, the committee sponsored a pro-Loyalist speech in St. Louis by an allegedly unfrocked Irish priest, Michael O'Flanagan, St. Louis' Catholic Club and Archbishop John J. Glennon were more than annoyed; they demanded...
...ravages of Nature have never stopped Japanese and last week they pushed on with their war in China. In Tokyo a big question was still what decisions of basic policy concerning the China war have been quietly taken by the Japanese Cabinet.

Not averse to making news or friends during his money drive for the University's 1940 Bicentennial, President Gates last week agreed...
...Samuel Fleisher's idea is that every district in the U. S. should hold careful tryouts in such arts as piano playing, trombone tooting, painting, drawing, weaving, embroidery, short story writing, ballet dancing. Winners would compete against winners for national prizes. These, Sponsors Fleisher, Johnson & Gates decided, will not be medals or trophies but scholarships in recognized institutions. Businesslike President Gates announced that Dean John Harrison Minnick of his School of Education is at work on "details" and already hunting for a capable director. Tryouts for the first contest, in the Philadelphia area, are scheduled for spring...
