Throughout the museum last week some 90 white, Negro and Mexican children from Southern California schools were enjoying a frenzy of creative activity. And everywhere, prancing excitedly among the kids, was a frenetic 63-year-old man whose lean face crinkled often with laughter. It was Dr. Seuss, the cartoonist and writer, whose zany animals (The Cat in the Hat, Horton the Elephant, Yertle the Turtle) have captivated some 33 million buyers of children's books.

...Obsolete Children." This happy nonsense was byplay at the museum's six-week summer workshop, the latest effort by Dr. Seuss, actually Theodor Seuss Geisel, to stir the imagination of children. The workshop seems to be doing just that. The kids use the backs of dolls to make small cars for the streets of the model city; they record the city's sounds and transform them-slowed tapes of a pingpong ball bouncing on concrete boom like a distant gun; the filming gives them new visual perspectives-all aimed at making them more aware of an urban environment...

The book was long out of print when Lambuth died in 1948, but old grads treasured old copies, and not long ago Adman S. Heagan Bayles ('33) lovingly printed a new edition of 1,000 to police the prose at his Manhattan agency, Sullivan, Stauffer, Colwell & Bayles. This fall, courtesy of the ad agency rather than the English department, the Dartmouth business school joyfully revived The Golden Book...
