...Conduct Contrary. . . ." It has long been the custom of the New York Stock Exchange to require financial statements from all member-firms doing business with the public. Late in 1937, apparently eager to beat SEC to the gun, the Exchange extended this rule to firms such as Richard Whitney's which do business with brokers and banks. First report was due on Feb. 15. With his company virtually insolvent. Dick Whitney asked for an extension of time. This naturally piqued the Exchange's curiosity. When the Whitney report arrived, the Exchange scrutinized it carefully and immediately sent...
Last week sad-eyed, stolid Hindemith, who is having a curiously unmanaged and unpublicized U. S. tour, bobbed up in Chicago to conduct the U. S. premiere of his latest work, Symphonic Dances, with the Chicago Symphony. In his enthusiasm, Conductor Hindemith tore a page of his score, lost his baton, ended by conducting with his fists.

The team was a house divided, the team lacked spirit, the team trained at the Ritz and the Copley, the team had forgotten that it represented the Harvard undergraduates. How much of this...
Coach Ulen a short time ago kept his star free-styler out of two meets because of training violations. This year Coach Fesler was not afraid to discipline the Seniors on his basketball squad. In contrast, we find a member of the hockey team, who, by his conduct at the end of three quadrangular league games, gave non-Harvard men the impression that Harvard is a home for soreheads and poor losers. If discipline was not attempted by the coach, then it was squarely up to the Director of Athletics to take action...
