...short story Richard Connell's "A Friend of Napoleon" was awarded several prizes by juries who admired its light irony and neat construction. As a talking picture the pointed anecdote has been turned into a pointless but mechanically interesting vaudeville act for Paul Muni.

Well nigh impossible it is to review the many accomplishments of Dr. Welch, to echo the gusto with which he still teaches. Suffice to report that in his doctorate cap and gown he resembles King Henry VIII in jolly mood, that he organized Johns Hopkins School of Hygiene and Public Health (1918), and now its Department of the History of Medicine and its Medical Library. As last...
