Unlike the old system, which was particularly suited to those Masters who chose to devote great amounts of time to selections, the new procedure allows each Master to determine the extent of his participation...
Labelled the "musical highlight of Winterfest," Tuesday's Boston Symphony concert marked the first appearance of a Harvard undergraduate as soloist, pianist Eugene Indjic '69.

Hitler himself chose death rather than accept responsibility. For him to have committed suicide when he knew he was defeated . . . for him to have left it to a subordinate to account for his auto cratic and arbitrary actions, these two shortcomings will remain forever incomprehensible to me. They are my final disillusion...
