...granted. This is to be understood by all who are admitted to associate membership. And for the benefit of those refused admission nothing less can be done than to notify them of that fact in June rather than wait until September when many rooming--houses are full. Supposedly the lack of guidance of Freshmen is proverbial; it does them no good to be left with the thought of having no roof over their heads...

The group as a whole will provide ample food for thought in a surprisingly forceful manner for anyone interested in deciphering the hieroglyphics of contemporary European trends in art. Obvious lack of feeling is the essential characteristic of most of the pictures. But in place of deep and reverberating content, harshness and vigor often bordering on sensationalism is found. Head of a Woman, by Nolde, a blatant example of art at its lowest point, is a brazen conglomeration of bright colors...
