Married, Stephen Henry Horgan, 80, inventor of the halftone process of reproducing photographs; and Miss Delia Van Houten, 74; in Nyack, N. Y. Mr. Horgan made his first newspaper halftone, a picture of Manhattan, for the defunct Daily Graphic in 1880. In 1924 he was the first man to telegraph a color photograph, a three-color portrait of Rudolph Valentino...
...Tashi Lama, holiest man in Tibet since the flight (in 1904) of the Dalai Lama. All these things he accomplished. He interviewed the Tashi Lama himself, witnessed "devil-dances" in the sacred city, set the first European foot on the Transhimalayan range.

When he wants to, he can be as descriptive as the next 20th Century citizen, as in this definitive...
There has been a growing realization of the vast educational possibilities presented by motion pictures and in many schools this graphic method of teaching has been advanced to a position of prime importance. Wide use of moving pictures in science, history, and fine arts courses would offer all students the advantage of a vivid, concise presentation of carefully arranged subject matter and would reduce the burden of lecturing to the minimum. At Harvard it would allow the upper stratum of the faculty, now overweighted with course work, to devote more of its time to individual and tutorial studies. These benefits...
