...machinations by which Rodelinda, the Lombard Queen, rid herself of imposters and became reunited with Bertaric, the rightful king, were by no means the most important aspect of the performance. Handel's plot is blatantly conventional, works its way out leisurely. The imported soloists, headed by Soprano Mabel Garrison, and the choristers from Smith and nearby Amherst wore conventional wigs and furbelows. It was Handel's clear, direct music and the finish with which it was given that won Rodelinda highest praise yet for a Smith premiere from the metropolitan critics. The orchestra, composed mostly of Smith girls...
...meeting of the Board of Overseers, at which the cost of going to Harvard College was discussed in the light of the approaching fulfillment of the House Plan, together with rumors and stories concerning the paradoxical situation of the new houses--oversubscribed, but still unfilled--have brought the financial aspect of going to Harvard College into the fore-ground as never before.

Then said His Holiness...
...would doubtless be difficult to defend every aspect of the library from either a practical or an aesthetic point of view. But in attacking the artificiality in the building, the author of the "Nation" article becomes involved himself in a labyrinth of purely artificial distinctions. It certainly is only a diseased sort of academic mind which could object violently to inclusions in the same structure of rooms in Gothic, Renaissance, and Colonial styles per se. Certain juxtapositions could be aesthetically bad. But it is absurd to suppose that decorations of the fifteenth and the seventeenth centuries are necessarily inharmonious...
