S. and Canadian listeners gave him first place in popularity (Beethoven was second) among all composers, past and present.

...years in the past. Friendly feeling and hospitality and warmth of greeting are traditional parts of the weekend, and to them in 1937 Harvard adds a team of the same grade as those teams in the past whose hard, uncertain struggles with Yale were the best afternoons of the Autumn.
