...contagion of its past and present associations. The intangible benefit derived would certainly be more profitable to the susceptible Freshman than to the blase Senior. With most of the upperclassmen separated from the College office proper by an intermediary House master, the Freshman class will be the almost important group directly under University Hall supervision. This proximity of the first year class further enhances a distribution plan whose guiding impulse is practically...

He gave orders that the footprints be allowed to harden, furthermore, he made...

Its existence depends always on the beneficence of a patron or a group of patrons. Again, last week, the Boston Symphony felt sorely its annual deficit complaint, and printed in the program books a plea for funds. The Boston Symphony's prospective deficit this year is $134,000 as against $87,000 last year...
