Following Pierian's tradition of visiting women's colleges, the Harvard-Radcliffe Orchestra travelled to Colby Jr. College in February, 1943.

...world-and especially the U.S. -is in the midst of one of history's great oil gluts. The U.S. is swimming in oil, with excess stocks of 781 million bbl.-65 million more than last year. Oil production in Texas and Oklahoma has been chopped back drastically; Venezuela, which sends 20% of its crude production to the U.S., has been forced to reduce production even more. Canadian oil sales are in bad shape, and refinery runs of Alberta crude, which comprises 90% of Canada's oil, are at a new low of 271,958 bbl. daily. Only...
