Rounding up a collection of classic Spanish painting has never been an easy task-outside Spain. In Europe, Spanish work was almost unknown until after Napoleon's looting and the later purchases of Louis Philippe gave France and Austria a chance to assemble collections.

In the U.S., where collectors equipped with bulging pocketbooks and ranging tastes assiduously bought up Spanish masterpieces in recent generations, there are a number of good private and public collections to draw from.

Jean Paulhan, 78, and who is widely suspected of having written the novel himself under a pseudonym. A grand...
...cell. Space engineering has now broken upon us. IN field after field the application of contemporary mathematical and statistical analysis stimulates new research. And since World War II the whole globe has become of exciting interest to scholars in the social sciences and humanities to a degree unknown before. Asia and Africa, radio telescopes, masers and lasers, and devices for interplanetary exploration unimagined in 1924 - these and other developments have effected such enormous changes in the intellectual orientation and aspiration of the contemporary university as to have made the University we knew as students now seem a strangely underdeveloped, indeed...
