...Busch-Reisinger exhibition does an adequate job of presenting the complexity of Weimar visual culture. There are no flagship pieces; not one oil painting graces the show (where is Christian Schad?). Copious books have been placed in the hallway outside the exhibit to bolster the scanty offerings. There is a characteristic Georg Grosz sketch of men and women walking about, greedy and mean, but it feels like little more than a twig compared to the corpus of Grosz's works.

"My aim is to be understood by everyone," Grosz wrote...
...team figures to cause trouble for the varsity, Dartmouth should, for the Crimson was hard-pressed to pull out a 60 2/3 to 48 1/3 win over the Green during the indoor season. Led by distance runners Doug Brew and Dick Schad, weightmen George Bixby and Steve Margolis, dash men Hugo Hartenstein and Joe Graham, and pole vaulter Will Springer, Dartmouth fields an imposing array of talent...
