...William Thomas Manning's) forbidding Dr. Karl Reiland to allow Presbyterian Henry Sloane Coffin to officiate at a communion service in an Episcopal church (TIME, Nov. 25), think Episcopalians have no right to call themselves Protestants. Many high-church Episcopalians agree with them, dislike the name Protestant, would like to change their church's name to something like American Catholic.* Last week the P. E. high-church weekly, The Living Church, printed an article by Dr. Frederick Henry Lynch, Congregationalist minister, editor of Christian Work and Evangelist, entitled, "Is the Protestant Episcopal Church a Protestant Church...
...research professors. Dear to the heart of the undergraduate is many a teaching professor. Him they afterward remember for what little light and learning they possess, and also for his eccentricities, for good fellowship. When they grow old they swap anecdotes about him; if they become Trustees they like to see him prosper in his fashion. But the research professors, who sometimes regard the civilizing of students as a vague, even faintly vulgar waste of time, are the darlings of their erudite colleagues and often of the president, who feels the responsibility of keeping the University in a good competitive...
Essential to Mr. Eaton is the assistance of able steel men for Mr. Eaton knows little of steel and, like a chemist's catalyst by his mere presence hastens reactions in which he has otherwise no part.

Nothing can save them from dying or being shot down on the colorless sand, under the sun like a furnace door, and die they do, one by one-an artist, a vaudeville trouper, a farmer, a clerk, a wagon driver, a prizefighter, an evangelist. Their reactions to the death sentence and the way in which the sentence is executed on each of them is the subject of The Lost...
...worse if Wagner's immortal but cinematically difficult music had been recorded around it. The poetry, of course, is in the music rather than the anecdote. This poetry is lost, but the silent Meistersinger moves with a light-footedness impossible in grand opera. Clearly these capable German actors like their. material and understand it. They play the old roles slyly, fast and broadly -the whimsical Hans Sachs, the vicious Beckmesser, the hesitating Pogner. Good shots: the fracas outside Hans Sachs' shop; Beckmesser appearing before the Grand Council without his toupee...
