...anniversary of her sister's death. Sister Lili died in 1918, a few years after winning the coveted Grand Prix de Rome.* Nadia considered her sister's talent greater than her own. In the large, cold chapel of Paris' La Trinite Church, 100 people gathered to attend a low Mass for Lili. As she does every year, Nadia Boulanger had arranged a music program in Lili's memory. Nadia sat in a front pew; she did not play the organ music-though she is a top organist...
...christening of the Crimson. An editorial in one of the 1875 numbers disparaged magenta as the College's symbol and affirmed that "historically there was no doubt that crimson was the Harvard color." The Magenta fought hard to retain its name, but a mass meeting in Holden Chapel voted magenta out and crimson in. With its next issue, the Magenta became the Harvard Crimson...

...publickly in Hall insult the authority of the College by hitting one of the Officers with a potatoe." By 1816 the expanding collection of books and apparatus squeezed out the Commons to the newly-erected University Hall, and the whole second floor became the library, the old chapel downstairs became a recitation room, and the former Commons became a "mineralogical cabinet." But when the Gore Hall library was built, twenty-five years later, these two lower rooms were combined into a single large hall for Commencement dinners, and on the second floor a Physics Laboratory was established...
