Stern, assistant director of Washington's Freer Gallery of Art, to assemble a comprehensive survey of Japanese master prints and to write an accompanying book...
...President issued a stern warning to the Sophomores after that, and the next morning the Sophomores appeared in Chapel after a three day absence. Yet still in defiance of the authorities they entered through the door usually reserved for the Freshmen. For this action President Quincy asked them to stay after the services were over, but the class, rather than submitting to the demand, marched out with the rest of the class in the normal...
