...anniversary. Recently the Italian Government acquired the Pesaro Palace from the Duchess Bevilacqua la Masa to use as a museum of modern art. Because Titian knew both the house and the Pesaro family well, once painted a famous view of the building, the palace was decided upon as the ideal place to have a loan exhibition of Titians. Professor Barbantini who wrote the letters, pulled the wires and did most of the spade work to make the exhibition possible, had another name for his show. He called it a Tribute of Regret, that so many of the works of Venice...
...Sternberg is an eccentric specialist who enjoys filling his camera lens with shadows, antique furniture, objects d'art and confetti. To most observers, these salient characteristics might suggest that, for the purpose of manufacturing profitable moving pictures, Director von Sternberg and Cinemactress Dietrich constituted less than an ideal partnership.

Thus they offer an opportunity for gaining information under almost ideal conditions, in a scholarly atmosphere yet free from the bogeys of examinations and grades. Perhaps, too, they provide an insight into future methods of education...
With the proposed endowment, however, the real problems arise, and it is this aspect of the program which is most significant. For certainly the ideal athletic set-up for a university would be complete endowment, with no gate receipts to worry about, and with coaches occupying positions comparable to those of curricular instructors. If such an endowment could be obtained from some generous alumnus, who wished to give his money for no other purposes, that would be sheer heaven. It is not beyond the realms of possibility that Harvard has such a donor up its sleeve, but in all probability...
