Sirs: Please refer to TIME, May 2, p. 26, to a paragraph reading as follows: 'Often surprising are the brain's reactions to violent injury. A prize exhibit of Harvard's bright & cheery Warren Anatomical Museum, into which the public cannot get, is the Crowbar Skull. The foreman of a crew of Vermont road builders in 1848 let a charge of explosive detonate prematurely. The explosion drove a crowbar through the left side of his head. He was then 25 lived twelve years and nine months longer, showed no physical impediments, but did develop an abnormal truculence...
Doubtless fear of those tactless persons who haunt professors' teas and refer to instructors as "Ted" and "Jack" is sufficient ground for the seclusion in which many members of the faculty envelop themselves; the press of important work also furnishes a ready and valid excuse.

Sirs: At last I have found something that I can contradict in the pages of TIME magazine, on very good authority. I refer specifically to p. 54 of the April 11 issue of TIME magazine.

It is true that Mrs. Jeffers was an orphan, but she was 25 when she married Dr. Jeffers, and had a happy home of culture and means with a childless cousin of her father, and the former's wife. She was a woman of unusual beauty of form and character, great charm, well educated, with finely matured mind, and a good musician. To his heritage from...
...most Russian emigres since the days when he was official scene painter for the Moscow Art Theatre. He went to the U. S. in 1920 with a mystical manner and a shipload of paintings, explored Thibet, gave lectures on the Higher Life, acquired a circle of adoring acolytes who refer to him as The Marster, designed an international peace flag, and had a 24-story apartment house-museum put up in Manhattan in his honor. Last week came a check. Because of failure to meet interest on mortgages totalling $2,075,000, Roerich Museum Inc. went into receivership. A committee...
