...music-loving students in the University should certainly make every effort to attend these expositions and to get the full pleasure and profit from them which the alumni so generously provide for. As there is a great deal going on now in the college world, and as it is correspondingly difficult to bring worthy objects to people's notice, I hope that everyone will tell his neighbor about these expositions so that little by little the large and enthusiastic audiences of former days may be regained.

Let the "peace paint" be applied ever so rapidly, the grim effects of war cannot be effaced too soon from...
...President Taft in his speech before the working people of Boston last Friday evening, said that all political and social misunderstandings could be done away with if people could only get together and talk things over. He quoted as an example of the truth of this statement his own experience with Frank P. Walsh. They had cordially disliked each other view on labor until they were placed on the same board. Since that time they have ceased criticizing and have developed a constructive program of reform...
