William Y. Elliott, Director of the Summer School, opened the convocation with a greeting to students new in the Cambridge area. He expressed the hope that they had come equipped with "a certain amount of seriousness" as well as the ability to "enjoy what the Cambridge and Boston area has to offer...
...Steel President Hood, blaming the boost on rising labor costs, said that this week's wage increase will amount to 21? an hour, boost the corporation's annual labor costs by $87 million to $1,543,000,-ooo, which is a record high.

As the love-sick, not-too-bright Roderigo, Richard Easton indulges in the right amount of humor, even incorporating a few Harpo Marxian mannerisms. He properly appears with clean face at the beginning of the play; but, after Iago tells him to disguise his baby-face and increase the manliness of his appearance with "an usurped beard," he should of course don false whiskers for the rest of the drama...
