...Manuel Rosenthal was forbidden re-entry to the U.S. for a Gallic breach of morals (the official reason was perjury concerning his marital status when he returned; the lady who traveled with him was not his wife). After the symphony's officials stopped blushing, they decided not to hire anyone for a while but to study a relay of guest conductors. By far the most popular of the visitors proved to be Brooklyn-born Milton Katims. The guest was asked twice, and last fall the board signed...
Perhaps the wisest answer to the College's problem would be to combine two suggestions made by former committees.

Already overcrowded and harassed by budget troubles, they must now find the funds, build new facilities, hire more teachers at a time when they are suffering from a shortage of all three. In 1954 the Economic Report of the President estimated that the U.S. college campus is already $6 billion behind in its building program. Furthermore, says President John A. Perkins of the University of Delaware, "it has been estimated that in the next 15 years as much floor space will have...
