...less quickly than this winter's snows have the charges of "Fascism" at Columbia's Teachers' College melted with yesterday's announcement that Professor Kilpatrick will give the Macy Lectures in 1938 and 1939. For a while the enforcing of the retirment law looked like a gag upon the liberal and controversial teacher. He does not think that his throat is being cut, nonetheless, and the report of his new position verifies the friendly words of Dean Russell before the New Orleans Convention...

The fact that this old warhorse received its first NewYork rendition with similar effects last week was due to the Works Progress Administration and Colonel John Reed Kilpatrick, president of Madison Square Garden. The WPA's Federal Music Project, which has some 16,000 musicians on its rolls, wished to weld 210 members of three New York City WPA orchestras and a WPA symphonic band of 75 into a single unit for one big concert. Colonel Kilpatrick, who last spring...
