What did the War do to German universities ? Hear* P. Stepun (Russian) who studied 16 years ago at Heidelberg: Heidelberg in 1908. "In the days when I studied at Heidelberg the life of the town was governed in every detail by the University. It was not so much a University town as a town attached to a University. All the residents seemed to live there exclusively in order to rent rooms to the students, to feed them at the cafes and restaurants, to sell them books, to photograph them on foot and on horseback, singly and in groups, with courtplastered...
Emanuel Lasker, before his defeat by Capablanca, had held the championship for nearly 30 years. He alone links the names of Steinitz, Tschigorin, Pillsbury to the present.

...born at La Porte, Ind., in 1882. He is a graduate of the Universities of Notre Dame (Ind.), Heidelberg and Freiburg. He got his M.D. from the last in 1906.

About 1912 he began to experiment with...
...born in Paris and was educated in English schools. His father was a solicitor. He attended Heidelberg, and took his degree in medicine at St. Thomas's Hospital, Lambeth. His plays have been produced with varying success. Both as a dramatist and novelist he possesses, it seems to me, two distinct qualities: a feeling for the sweep and power of dramatic passion and an ability to analyze it- always cynically. It was interesting to watch him the other evening with Charlie Chaplin-Chaplin, mobile, eager, gay, as vivid as a flame and as naive as Peter Pan, yet somehow...
