...reading, writing, game and music rooms, an auditorium, swimming pool, gymnasium, cafeteria, trade school, all with the most modern equipment. One room is an exact replica of the one in London in which George Williams, dry goods clerk, helped found the first Y. M. C. A. in 1844. The Juilliard Musical Foundation has given a fine organ, the American Bible Society a copy of the Bible in every language it publishes. Most of the building's total cost - $1,000,000 - was donated by the late James Newbegin Jarvie, Montclair (N. J.) sugar and coffee merchant, friend of Archibald...
...such top-notch quartets as the Musical Art, New York, Gordon, Roth. But Mrs. Coolidge is earnestly devoted not only to the highest music but to "international exchange of culture."

Then he attacked the Foundation for shunning its Metropolitan obligations, for leaving unoccupied an "apparently ample building." for engaging too many foreign instructors. Mr. Erskine claimed in his retort that the principal of the $14,000,000 endowment was still intact, still yielding an annual income of $600,000. He said that last spring the Juilliard...
...loan to be repaid in 1938 with 6% interest. The Metropolitan's chairman, Lawyer Paul Drennan Cravath who is also a trustee of the Juilliard School, contradicted only the statement that the Juilliard Foundation had offered solid backing. But both he and quiet Cornelius Bliss, the boxholder who is working hardest to raise the $300,000, signified that as a mouthpiece John Erskine had overstepped his bounds...
