...histories of President Lowell's administration which have appeared have dwelt upon its logical coherence. It seems clear that it will be known not as a more series of years, but as an era, a chapter in educational development. The same was true of President Eliot's administration. The sequence of the two is not unlike the transition from laissez-faire to "planning and control" in the economic world. But whatever the central idea under which President Lowell's several reforms can best be included, there is no doubt that each step was the natural and proper sequel to what...
Whenever trouble brewed in ancient Rome, messengers sped south to the Cumaean Rock, a many-chambered volcanic promontory twelve miles west of Naples. Therein, "hidden far from sight within her sanctuary dark and drear, dwelt the dread Sibyl, whom the Delian seer inspired with soul and wisdom to unfold the things to come"* Complaisant with the Romans' plea the Sibyl would shuffle inscribed leaves, deal them upon her grotto floor, to be construed there by her votaries...

Others are scrambled together like "Yes, We Have No Bananas," which contains bits from Handel's Hallelujah Chorus, "My Bonnie," "I Dreamt I Dwelt in Marble Halls," "Aunt Dinah's Quilting Party" and "An Old-Fashioned Garden." As Tune Detective, Dr. Spaeth sings, plays and analyzes snatches from current popular songs. Some 2,000 people, most of them men, write in weekly to ask questions, make suggestions.

Cleveland gossips dwelt on the unlikely theme that Conductor Sokoloff had been found wanting in social and civic ways. More important and evident, both to Conductor Sokoloff and the symphony's backers, were the facts the orchestra needed money and that more people in Cleveland would pay to see a newsworthy conductor than would pay to hear the best music consistently produced by the same conductor. Audiences have been bigger when guest conductors came to Cleveland, like Sir Hamilton Harty (who will guest conduct during Conductor Sokoloff's customary mid-season absence this year), Enrique Fernandez Arbos...
