...with an umbrella like an irate old beldame charging a group of plaguing boys, nor by the action of the Board of Education in calling policemen to protect it from its own teachers. The City College is busy meting out discipline because a crowd of pacifist students blocked the path of the president--and of course the inevitable "distinguished visitors"--on the way to review a drill by the Reserve Officers' Training Corps.

As it neared completion, he called it "the goal towards which I have been striving, and I think it will illuminate the whole path along which I have come." His friends rated it his greatest job, demanded a preview in Paris. M. Matisse and Dr. Barnes agreed. Then Matisse, no master of space problems, discovered that his mural was three feet short. On a new canvas he painted it over again the full...
