...says William Michael Rossetti, "Masaccio was living in Florence with his mother, then for the second time a widow, and with his younger brother, a painter of no distinction; he possessed nothing but debts. Before the end of the next year, he disappeared from Florence, going, as it would appear, to Rome, to evade the importunities of creditors. Immediately afterwards, in 1429, when his age was 27 or 28, he was reported dead...
...never quite an even friendship. Mr. Carson, the younger of the two, secretly envied his friend's intellectual equipment and attainments. Mr. Buermeyer, though not conceited, was occasionally made conscious of his superiority, real or imaginary, and sometimes adopted his old air of omniscient graduate student talking to callow undergraduate...

Four of his plays have been produced: You and I (47 Workshop Harvard Prize Play, 1923); The Youngest (1924); In A Garden (1925); White Wings (1926). Not all have been successful, financially.

Dr. Alexis Carrel of the Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research has kept a chicken's heart alive and growing for 15 years, longer than any ordinary chicken ever lived. Dr. Carrel sailed for a vacation on the Continent last week...
...crimson-jerseyed warriors out-played their younger opponents in every department of the game. The 1930 line charged hard and effectively, and the backs, shifty and fast, eluded the schoolboy tackles to reap big gains. Particularly effective in gaining ground for the Freshmen was a forward pass, thrown from a take end run formation. The Crimson passing game was fairly smooth, about half of the attempted heaves being completed...
