Utterly different in character, the products of the more casual atmosphere of Harvard are inevitably put on the block for comparison with those of the grim government industry, a comparison that involves not only team play, but also individual undergraduate attitude and sportsmanship. But with the traditional slum and gravy signs, the future generals will come again for the annual fiasco, and John Harvard will discard his Bible for a glance at the future defenders of the rights of the peaceful...
...often in the past has the Council depended entirely upon the recommendations of dean and faculty to guide their actions. Not since the report leading to a recommendation concerning the House Plan has any major good come out of those casual meetings in University Hall. With the advent of the House Plan, in all its magnificence of brick and stone, will come problems less easy of solution than those of rooms and dining halls. A properly organized Student Council, much as it may have been needed in past years. Will be doubly valuable when the College is confronted...

"I think," he said, "by the end of this year selected common stocks of the type we have in our portfolio will on the average have regained...
Jacobsen's three comrades?Marie Roemaet-Rosanoff, violoncello; Paul Bernard, second violin; Louis Kaufman, viola?are of U. S. birth. Critics agree that each is a virtuoso in his own right. The Quartet's origin was as casual as its playing has been brilliant. The four friends, students in the Institute of Musical Art at Manhattan, had long been wont to meet of an afternoon or evening and beguile the hours with music for their own entertainment. Often they played at the home of Efrem Zimbalist and his wife Alma Gluck, or for Jascha Heifetz. Sometimes, with one of these...
