...ruling Communist Party had ever ventured outside the Soviet Union since it was founded. Obviously enjoying himself, War Minister "Klim" arrived with his ferociously bewhiskered colleague in arms, Cavalry General Budenny, and jovial Soviet Education Minister Bubnov. All three big Reds brought their wives. They sailed up the Golden Horn escorted by a squadron of the Red Fleet, disembarked amid thunderous salutes at Istanbul (once Constantinople) and went to sleep in a luxurious Wagon-Lit which carried them 300 mi. up to Ankara (once Angora), the hill-surrounded capital which President Kemal has built at a cost of more than...
Featured in this quarter's Hound and Horn is an essay on the philosophy of William James by one Henry Bamford Parkes. Mr. Parkes makes no new contribution to the criticism of James, but his essay is a competent restatement of the master's position in modern thought. It will be remembered that Professor Whitehead called James, like Descartes, the founder of a new philosophical epoch--with this statement Mr. Parkes takes issue, on the ground that his philosophy "contains too obviously the seeds of its own dissolution." Statements of this kind are very difficult to analyze or to assess...
...winners of the Hound and Horn Undergraduate Competition are both from Stanford. One is already familiar to the periodical world, J. V. Cunningham, recipient of the prize for verse. Albert Guerard, Jr., whose "Winter in Davos" merits the fiction award, has never before been published.

...yearly in reputation and ability, Painter Curry's solid, exciting canvases of life on the prairies have been widely shown, generously bought by all but Kansans. "Tornado," the canvas that won him $1,000 last week, shows a Kansas family diving for a storm cellar as a dusty horn of wind sweeps in from the darkened horizon. On its first showing in an exhibition arranged by jovial William Allen White, onetime Governor Henry J. Allen's wife deplored: "Cyclones . . . are certainly to be found in Kansas, but why must Mr. Curry paint these freakish subjects? His self-portrait...
...unimportant exceptions the big-league orchestras have kept their old lineups and star performers. Squat little Mischa Mischakoff still plays first violin for Chicago, lean young Alfred Wallenstein the 'cello for Manhattan, with Bruno Jaenicke behind him blowing himself red in the face over his French horn. Boston still has Richard Burgin playing first violin. Jean Bedetti first 'cello. In Philadelphia sleek Anton Torello still wields the big bull fiddle; Oscar Schwar, who was a drummer-boy in the Imperial German Army, still presides over the tympani...
