The Arkansas Gazette (Little Rock, Arkansas) übernimmt auf S. 4 den Artikel der Washington Post vom 17.7.1910 über Überlegungen zu den Schädeln von Komponisten:
"                BRAIN RELATED TO SKULL.
     Vienna.– "Although not all the causes that operate the formation of the human head are known at the present time, yet we do know that one of the principal factors in the skull formation is the development of the brain itself," said Prof. Tandler in a lecture on musicians' skulls, delivered before the Vienna Medical Association.
     To put it plainly, he continued, every person has the skull that fits his or her brain. Therefore, when we discuss musical heads we must first consider musical brains.
     There is no doubt, said Prof. Tandler, that musicians' brains are more than normally developed in the region just over the upper temple, and this development invariably causes a corresponding protuberance in that part of the bony skull. As examples the professor gave details of his observations on the formations of the skulls of Haydon [sic], Beethoven, Brahms, Bruckner and other well known composers."
