Credit for the rest of the Almanac's sophisticated virtues should be laid to John Murray Anderson, its organizer and producer, and to Gil Boag, its $180,000 angel, hitherto famed variously and not least for being a onetime husband of Gilda Gray...

Now 33, Robert Littell...
Others beside the CRIMSON have called the Widener murals glorified war posters, but hitherto these persons have avoided being heralded as boyish, mayhap because of their rather obvious graying hair. Few will question the aptness or the simile who have not been prepared for the first sight of these works by a careful instruction as to their hallowed origin...
