Invention continues. Last autumn Dr. Tohn Albert Kolmer of Philadelphia and Drs. William Hallock Park and Maurice Brodie of Manhattan announced vaccines against infantile paralysis. Last month Dr Albert Paul Krueger of the University of California announced a vaccine against the common cold...
Harvard has rolled dizzily in Harkness millions. Harvard has watched some hundred thousands in Krueger and Toll swirl gently into a financial maelstrom. But through New Era and New Deal, oblivious to both, fingers of steel have clasped the purse-strings of Lehman Hall. To the undergraduate, Arthur L.

Before that the Chamber's favorite...
Depression hit another Pacific Coast orchestra early in the autumn. The Seattle Symphony had to curtail its season by half, as a result received the resignation of Conductor Karl Krueger. William Clark, book-collecting son of the late Senator Clark of Montana, stands by the Los Angeles Philharmonic even in time of trouble, but his job is lessened by the great popularity of Conductor Artur Rodzinsky. The Portland (Ore.) Symphony under Conductor Willem van Hoogstratten ran an aggressive campaign this season, reduced its salaries...
