Last week, four hours after Banker Bache, 75, had sailed to spend the summer in London with his daughter, wife of Theatrical Producer Gilbert Miller, Mr. Bache's lawyer summoned reporters, gave them news that within a year not only the Grand Duchess Marie but any other resident or visitor in Manhattan will be able to see Raphael's Giuliano de'Medici at almost any time. Banker Bache, for a quarter-century one of the most important art collectors in the U. S., was giving his entire collection to the public and turning over his home...
...Xenophon's forced inarch across Asia Minor are original enough to have earned him a gold medal from the American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons and a bronze medal from the American Medical Association.

In the case of the Comparative Anatomy course, for instance, it was estimated that the number of hours ran from two to four per week over the official figure, and in physiology from four to six. And Biology is by no means the sole offender in this practice among the science divisions...
