When the new House opens in 1959, it will have only 200 members because of the use of Mather by Leverett. Bundy said that he felt it was better for the eighth House to begin with less than its full complement of 350 students...
...Hours. The steel-hulled Pamir set sail from Hamburg last June for Falmouth, England, and Buenos Aires, with a complement of 53 cadets and 33 veteran seamen aboard. Last week, homeward bound from B.A., she was struck by the full (127-knot) force of Carrie, which the skipper had not expected to hit for a full two hours.

For those who prefer G & S in the grand manner, the stage may be too simple and the acting underdeveloped. But for those who like pure G & S without ornamental trappings, the production is much superior...
