...exact date and length of Behrman's stay in the House have not yet been announced. Last year's visitors to Kirkland, novelist John P. Marquand '15 and composer Leon Kirchner, lived in the House guest suite in N-entry while in Cambridge and ate with the students in the House dining hall...
...late Hungarian-born violinist Stefi Geyer, with whom he was in love before his first marriage. Budapest audiences reserved their loudest cheers for the Juilliard group, which played Bartok's Third and Sixth quartets, plus works by Mozart, Haydn, Beethoven, the U.S.'s Walter Piston and Leon Kirchner. The audience yelled so loudly for encores that the quartet gave an additional concert for students, who almost dismantled the hall with enthusiasm. Established in 1946 by Juilliard School of Music President William Schuman, the quartet has scored triumphs in Europe in recent years, built a reputation which rivals that...
...affair begins with a canvas by E. L. Kirchner which has long been a source of particular exasperation to me.

George Grosz emerged from a military hospital for the insane with the horrors of trench warfare, which he painted with the richness of Rubens, burned into his memory. In the postwar years of angry anarchy Grosz emerged as the self-styled "propagandada" of the Dada movement's antiart antics. (Today Grosz, an American citizen, lives on Long Island, N.Y., paints landscapes, nudes, and insect parables that "express the emptiness of man.") Oskar Kokoschka was shot and bayoneted through the chest...
