...racket of imposing upon Harvard families can only be stopped by individual precautions; such crimes as portrait slashings, which can only be the work of an insane man, are impossible to foresee and almost as difficult to trace, while their prevention involves procedure far too impractical. In a similar way, any further measures to protect the treasures of libraries and museums must unavoidably entail "red tape" which may even outweigh the saving. Yet the point of least loss and inconvenience can only be reached after experimentation towards both extremes. Present regulations have apparently proved unsatisfactory; a period of stricter protective...
...shading of tone and prompt assertive entrances so inherent in the music, the chorus did outstandingly well. Singing with enthusiasm which nevertheless was confined to tonal and not physical motions, the chorus interpreted the ringing operettas with much success, while Dr. Davison lent his hand with the accompaniments to trace the motivating harmonies and to follow neatly the swift running passages...
...tide. That is when the salt sound water is most diluted by the fresh river water. Something in the river water evidently makes the very young oysters want to nestle to a stone or shell. By tedious eliminations, Mr. Prytherch determined that this settling factor is a trace of dissolved copper. Injurious to plant and animal life when administered in large quantities, copper sulphate may now become one of the tools of oyster farming. And copper (also iron, magnesium) makes oysters a fine blood-builder in the human diet...
...Craven's method is to trace the development of painting by a series of critical and biographical sketches of great painters, applying continually his test for true art: vitality, gusto, a passion to interpret life. It is as good a standard as any other but leads inevitably to the conclusion that lusty Rubens was one of the greatest artists who ever lived; and that patrician Velasquez, who "painted the King's face in precisely the same spirit as his modern kinsman Monet painted haystacks," was little more than an expert technician. The 500 pages of the book are a learned...
...cold, improvising repairs, and raced home next day to Associated Press and Paramount News with first news pictures of the Viking disaster (TIME, March 23 and 30). From the other plane, a Sikorsky amphibian, ice-wise Bernt Balchen and two companions had scanned the floes in vain for a trace of Varick Frissell, the young Yale graduate who, with 25 others, was missing after the sealing ship exploded. Frissell's father, Dr. Lewis Fox Frissell of Manhattan, had sent them up -Balchen, F. Merion Cooper and Pilot Randy Enslow-because he was doggedly hopeful that his son was alive...
