...article could rouse an alumna, that article would be the one published in TIME, Oct. 1, on Mount Holyoke. . . . If it were possible, I would like to run an excursion for all those interested in viewing the poor "always studious," "always hard up," "drably" dressed students who eke out "drab" lives under the "stern"-pardon me-"the large, stern" shadow of Mary E.

Gallagher and Colony collected three hits apiece for the Jayvees...
Worcester first heard Edward Elgar's music but did little to encourage him. Nor did England, until after Europe had approved him. Nor did Edward Elgar's father, who, in spite of being the town's best organist, had to keep a music shop to eke out a living for his seven children. Elgar's early talent was extraordinary.
