That TIME should murder sleep of ignorance, yes - we might even say, Bellerophon like, it has been the stalwart steed of many a noble young thought - but - to base its attack on the one real thought that came out of the depression, upon a lack of credentials!!! How unfortunate, those seeking refuge in the Ark could not prove they had come over on the Mayflower...
...Metropolitan U. S. dailies, contain less advertising. Otherwise, due largely to Publisher Motoyama's pioneering, there is little essential difference. Even Mutt & Jeff, Min & Andy Gump, Smitty, Jiggs & Maggie hurl pots and tongue-lash each other in Japanese. One printing handicap the Japanese have been unable to overcome-lack of a simplified alphabet. Ideographs necessitate much handwork. A picturesque oldtime method of news transportation still lives in Japan. Newshawks and photographers in the field often send back copy and film by carrier pigeon. Besides morning & evening editions of Mainichi and Nichi-Nichi in Japanese, Motoyama published a daily Mainichi...
Playing with no little individual brilliance, yet seeming to lack the team work expected of them, the Freshman polo team lost to a more steady Jayvee team, 6 1-2 to 8, at the Commonwealth Armory on Saturday evening. Getting an early lead of two points which they maintained during the first two chukkers the first-year men played easily. With persistent driving, however, the upper-classmen scored two goals in the third period, and evened the count in the fourth. In the fifth period, the Freshmen sought to recover their lead, but instead tell further behind. Jumping...
...Princeton University set off a firecracker under the athletic world by severing connections with Harvard because of an unfortunate Lampoon editorial. The break was, however, due to more than a broadside in the college comic; it was caused by a crisis in relations that had been badly frayed by lack of tact, sportsmanship, and sanity. The editorials reprinted below are all too reliable witnesses to that; there is a malevolence betrayed in them which one feels, cannot return. The day of football rallies, of graduate agitation for a larger and finer stadium, of point-a-minute teams, has passed...
...dark post-War days of many a Viennese orphan. For Sissy, his second operetta since the War, Kreisler wrote charming, familiar music. He used themes from his "Caprice Viennois" and from "Liebes-freud," violin pieces so fluent and lilting that longest-faced critics have not fussed at their lack of profundity. "Wine Is My Weakness" and "With Eyes Like Thine, 'Tis Sin to Weep" are two new pieces the Viennese relished. If Sissy visits the U. S., Kreisler will take out tunes he has borrowed from Apple Blossoms, the operetta which he wrote in collaboration with Composer Victor Jacobi...
