...afternoon, unless it is too wet or too hot to move, the tennis courts are crowded and the Plain dotted with enthusiastic golfers. Those "elephants" who have not yet mastered the dance march daily to Cullom, while the "walri" who cannot swim go to the gymnasium pool for hardboiled instruction. When a cadet has qualified in swimming he has the privilege of canoeing on the Hudson or swimming in Delafield Pond, a beautiful little artificial pool nestling in an arm of the rolling hills above the Plain.

Artist Orozco himself is further downtown squatting on a scaffold in the new School of Social Research, painting great swirling designs on wet plaster with a very small brush. Beside him his master plasterer and assistant Juan Jorge Crespo, prepares the wall for Orozco to paint, two square yards at a time. "Fresco painting," explained Artist Orozco, "has much to do with the time of day. If I start one piece...
