ventures to wish that this one might

There is something quite human
about honest dirt and that might do
its bit toward warming up the cold
building. The library feels like the

am disappointed in the sculpture.
And that is quite too bad, for I have
always admired Robert Aitken, both
as a sculptor and as a man, not for-
getting his accomplishments as a
machine gun company commander in
the war. The idea of Incorporating
living persons in sculptural groups on
public buildings seems a bit raw" to
me, almost maudlin, as a matter OF
fact. Perhaps it is concession to the
current fad for realism; perhaps
Aitken wasn't responsible for the idea.
At all events, the idea, human"
though it may appear to be. doesn't

with either the coldness of the build

formity to the requirements of the

by reason of their portraits in cold

And great jllrists live Cor die) in and

son of their portraits in cold stone on

The building will be much admired,

I wonder if any one will ever come to
love this new building for the Su-

one loves, for example, the old Capt.

formed police guards. Everything is
permanent, motionless. Not even a
place to sit down. Two chairs, but
ones got red plush rope across it
and neither looks comfortable.
Men take their hats of when they
come in here. There's no sign directing
them to, but they do it anyhow, most
of them. Like going into a cathedral.
Well. it is a cathedral-a cathedral
Of wisdom and a temple of rare
beauty.
A line is waiting outside the court

and out comes two persons looking

vacant seats. Finally. it's my turn.
1t was like going in for tete-a-tete

tains parted and I was directed
silently to q chair in the rear Of the
chamber.
A cold white light is falling from
above the bench and there are nine

pious dignity in the dark red velvet
draperies behind the bench, the gilded
clock above it and the bronze grills

marble fireplace at one end of the
long room and the Chief Justice anc
senior Associate Justice Vandevanter

The justices dining room looks ou

In two interior courts, two fountains

It's a pity, think, that this mag

Federal Judge j. Earl Major, sitting
