...Music washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life," says Auerbach. It does a great deal more than that: it broadens and deepens the souls of men; it makes them see beauties in life and its emotions which the profoundest philosophy and even the finest poetry cannot call forth. And the extraordinary opportunities for musical culture which are afforded in this vicinity have always been one of the great assets of the University...
...will be the most important group of fifteenth and early sixteenth century Italian prints ever shown in this country, an exhibition made possible by friends of the Museum in Boston, New York, London, and Cambridge. Anyone interested in Italian prints will have an opportunity to see some of the finest works of the great engravers as well as the extremely rare anonymous prints which preceded them, many of a quality as brilliant as can be found anywhere in the world. A catalogue of the engravings has been prepared in which every print is described and reproduced, making it a reference...

Professor Delanney's researches brought to light a great quantity of manuscripts of unsuspected value, which had no doubt been used by the great humanists of the sixteenth century, including what was believed to be the finest known manuscripts of Cornelius Nepos. He considered that the collection of incunabula was the second finest in Europe. Moreover, large collections of archives of various kinds were found, including some of unusual importance for French history, of which copies do not exist in the Bibliotheque Nationale of Paris. Of all these...
