George Balanchine, the protean choreographer whose centenary is being celebrated this year by ballet companies the world over, left his imprint virtually everywhere in dance.

The result: glossy, 4-in.-by-6-in. prints that are virtually indistinguishable from the ones you get from a professional photo lab. Even...
Somewhere buried deep beneath Pennypacker Hall, in the coffins of WHRB’s Record Hospital, sits a compact disc without liner notes; they fell out long ago. Now white labels cover the case, with the scrawling of many hands over every square inch. The record is Zopilote Machine by the Mountain Goats, and the writing logs every date and time a Record Hospital disc jockey experienced a moment of epiphany listening to the soaring “Going To Georgia”—to this day the most powerful song in the Goats’ prolific catalog...
