When the late Dr. Guy Winfred Bailey, after 20 years as president of the University of Vermont, died in a Boston hospital last October, frugal Vermonters applauded his administration. They applauded too soon. He had raised the university's buildings and endowment from about $1,000,000 to nearly $9,000,000, left it with a trifling deficit of $33,502 on the books. But last week the university's financial affairs were in such a tangle that nine of the 18 trustees (among them: U.S. Senator Warren R. Austin) resigned and Vermont's Governor William...

...interesting to compare these records with the later performances by some of the players. Bunny Berigan, in particular, must be pretty envious when he listens to his work with Mildred Bailey, Bud Freeman's Windy City Five, and his own pickup band, playing with a power and assurance which he seems to have lost. Records like "Chicken Waffles" and "The Buzzard" show the way he played before he began to spend all his time groping about his shaky upper register for the edification of the assembled jitterbugs.
