During the past few years, there has been constant agitation to move the music library into the basement of Paine Hall, where it belongs. The authorities, fearing the cost, have refused any petitions on the part of the student body. The truth is, however, that the basement has been laid out perfectly, with one large room, sixty by twenty-six feet, for a library and a number of smaller rooms for victrola playing. The expense of clearing out discarded physics equipment and rehabilitating the rooms with books and scores, already in the hands of the University, would not prove overburdensome...
...advantages of a library accessible to all students are a hundred times as great as the cost involved. With comparatively little money the University can realize the otherwise lost investment of the underground rooms in Paine Hall; and the students will be able to depend more upon reading material and less on an over-worked teaching staff. Taking the musical library out of the hands of Widener and putting it within reach of the Department would undoubtedly eliminate one of the constant checks on the progress of musical study at Harvard...
...They too are suffering, and will continue to suffer for the rest of the week unless some deadly antidote is quickly compounded by the University to curb this crawling menace.

He has, however, been mixed up in some fair-to-middling hockey brawls, one of which nearly cost him his arm. While coaching hockey at Milton Academy a decade ago, he trained Barry Wood who later became All-America quarterback at Harvard. As Boston University's baseball coach, he immortalized himself by switching Mickey Cochrane from third baseman to catcher. Since the Blackhawks, who won the world...
...1920s signs began to appear on cinema theatres: "Twenty Degrees Cooler Inside. BRRH!" Cooling Manhattan's Rivoli Theatre in 1925 cost $65,000 but the Rivoli got that back in the first three months. Carrier systems went into the ape-house of the New York Zoological Park, into the White House and the Senate chamber, into the Secretariat in Delhi, India, into the world's deepest gold mine in South Africa. By 1929 Carrier Engineering Corp. was doing an $8,000,000 a year business and retaining $672,000 as profit. Formed in 1930 was the present Carrier...
