...Sever Hall has frequently been commented upon as depressing, but such a remark merely shows that the observer has failed to walk inside. Blank, dingy corridors and stairway walls enlivened by heating pipes of dubious aesthetic value, and by the silhouettes of James Warren Sever and his wife Elizabeth. A cheery coat of paint would add immeasurably to the attractiveness of the University's largest classroom building...
...With only a fortnight to go before Coronation, Lord Amherst's Sovereign and his consort last week took a state voyage down the Thames from Westminster to Greenwich, famed for fried whitebait and the o° meridian.

Stravinsky was so anxious to keep Apollon Musagete free of color that he scored it only for strings...
...Elizabeth was going to have another baby. Robert knew enough about it to be embarrassed; when the news was broken to Bunny, he was simply hostile to the idea, wanted his mother to think better of it. Because Elizabeth had had a hard time when the other children were born, she was to go away to a hospital in a neighboring city. It was the winter of 1918, when the flu epidemic was ravaging the country. Bunny was the first to come down with it. After his recovery, he and Robert were packed off to an aunt's while...
