...accession of these volumes and of other works of the Elizabethan Age included in the White collection fills what has been an outstanding gap on the Widener shelves of English literature. The books of this collection will be of the greatest assistance to advanced students of the English drama, and will strengthen decidedly the position of Widener Library as a leading University library of the world. The British Museum Library, and the Henry E. Huntington Library of Los Angeles house other important collections of Shakespeariana...
...size is but one of a library's requirements. No less important is the proper proportioning of the collection and the inclusion of old and rare works thereby made accessible to scholars. Widener Library has held for some years the title of the foremost college library and the fifth greatest in the world. As in inevitable in an restitution most of whose growth has taken place within a comparatively few years, omissions occurred and the gift from the family of the late William Auguastha White '63, as announced elsewhere in today's CRIMSON, will fill one of the most serious...
...Gettysburg, Pa., to deliver a Memorial Day speech. In charge of the train was one Grant Eckert, son of the later Conductor John Eckert who had charge of the train which took President Lincoln to Gettysburg in 1863.

...lady delegates was to be Marion Marjorie (Mrs. Worthington) Scranton, tall; stylish daughter-in-law of the family of the founder of famed Scranton, Pa.

She probably smokes cigarets and such like, they said. But Andrew W. Mellon approved her and Mrs. Scranton was elected to succeed the late John Wanamaker...
Sunday night is the time when the Pops offer their most serious productions. Bach, Mozart, Beethoven with the Eroica--all these composers have been represented not merely by selections, but by complete and capable performances of some of their greatest works. Whether appreciation of a long symphony ends with the coming of spring is uncertain; at any rate, these concerts have gone upon the opposite asumption, and the results have been distinctly gratifying. Evidently the public is not completely satisfied with the usual program of shreds and patches. The Pops are hardly ready to take rank as a continuation...
