...managed to anticipate most of his contemporaries. Often based on old hymn tunes, his music abounds in polytonal harmonies, complex rhythms; much of it is log-cabin crude and just as American. Symphony No. 3, finished in 1904 and revised in 1911, gathered dust in Ives's Connecticut barn until 1946, when it got its first performance and won him a Pulitzer Prize.

Comparative scores, against mutual opponents, a risky basis for prognostication at best, might just as well be discarded when it comes to Harvard-Yale, but they are set down here for the record: Yale 36, Brown 12; Harvard 14, Brown 13; Columbia 28, Harvard 7; Yale 20, Columbia 14; Cornell 28, Harvard...
