Philadelphia had never known such a musical pother, such tongue-wagging and intrigue which appeared to lead nowhere. Stokowski was resigning, he said, because of "deep-lying differences'' with the board and its failure to appoint a suitable successor to Manager Arthur Judson (TIME, Dec. 17). Since the board seemed to be the cause of the trouble, Curtis Bok wanted to create a new one which would be more sympathetic to Conductor Stokowski. "By sympathy," said Mr. Bok.

...roots of this problem are as deep as our civilization. One often feels that the only remedy would be a series of drownings in sulphuric acid or of suffocations in library dust. Nevertheless, much progress has been made here at Harvard. The rules of distribution, even when most burdensome, do force the student to give grudging attention to fields other than his own.

...acquainted with welfare work than with music. The end of Stokowski's statement was suitably regretful: "I am sad at the thought that I must now leave the Orchestra that I have worked so hard to help build up. ... I wish to pass over in silence and forget our deep-lying differences of opinion and remember "only the beauty and inspiration of the music we have made. I write this with pain in my heart...
