Dozens of important men in finance have worked on Mr. Barren's staffs. When they first take a walk with him they feel like Falstaff's page. But he is no antic master, rather always the teacher. Brokerage houses hunt his men, offer them salaries even larger than they get from Mr. Barron...
...similar remark. Nevertheless it remains true that long after the date of the invention of gunpowder in the Occident, or the meaning of a certain Shakespearean passage, or even the scores of Harvard-Yale football games are forgotten, the graduate will still carry with him memory of some inspiring teacher with whom he has come in contact and whose influence, exerted perhaps indirectly, has been a vital factor in his life. Professor Copeland has a club in New York made up of alumni who felt his influence. Probably two out of three undergraduates now in Cambridge whose fathers are alumni...
Leopold Auer, 81, unrivaled violin teacher: "Like my friend, Pianist Hofmann, I have just become a U. S. citizen.

Between Fundamentalists and Evolutionists of that countryside, suspicion...
...book-knowledge, in order to understand the foreign ways of their own U.S.-born children. Probably Playwrights Gropper and Siegel felt they had to make a comedy out of it, so in Act III, Daughter returns to the parental fold, puts aside a flashy lover for the night-school teacher, the young people stay in on occasional evenings, and Papa admits a few modifying Americanisms into the rigidly Talmudic routine of the household. As diversified Jewish types, Actors Sam Mann, Clara Langsner, Muni Wisenfrend, and Luther Adler write whole life histories into feeble, broken lines, and it is in their...
