Professor Holger Hyden, of the faculty of medicine at the University of Goteborg, Sweden, will deliver a lecture titled "The Biochemical Aspects of Learning and Memory" at 8 p.m. to night in Lowell Lecture Hall Prof Hyden's lecture is the first of four in a series sponsored by the Graduate School of Education on "The Neuro-physiological and Biochemical Bases of Learning...
...permanently for the first time in a quasi symphony; though-musical economics being what they are-all were recorded by foreign orchestras. Thus the Imperial Philharmonic Orchestra of Tokyo plays for the barn dance in Washington's Birthday, the Finnish Radio Symphony celebrates Decoration Day, Sweden's Goteborg Symphony the Fourth of July, the Iceland Symphony Thanksgiving.

Wrote one: "Pierre Brassau paints with powerful strokes, but also with clear determination. His brush strokes twist with furious fastidiousness. Pierre is an artist who performs with the delicacy of a ballet dancer." One of the oils sold for $90. But not every monkey-hoax story ends with all the humans fooled. Wrote one of the critics, as the perceptive punch line of a harsh review: "Only an ape could have...
