...oarsmen from last year's Freshman crew, some of whom, at least, should given the veterans a hard fight for a position, are H. Francke, 2; T. J. D. Fuller, bow; B. Harwood, 6; G. M. MacVicar, 3; H. H. Meyer, 7; W. B. Pirnie, stroke. Meyer, like Chanler, will probably be unable to row this fall...
...should like to use your columns, if I may, to do what I can to disperse the prevalent ideas that the Harvard Orchestra requires of its players virtuosic qualifications which are beyond the interest and the capabilities of the ordinary student. The music selected for the first part of the orchestra's season has always been in emulation of that style which the Boston Symphony (the Sodality's one-time offspring) has found best suited for the spring "pops"; it is true that later in the year the attention is turned to music of a more solid and more serious...

...value as a guide in such things, because it is usually ill-informed and is rarely aroused until an evil has become great. In short, the moral questions involved in the management of the corporation do not thrust themselves upon the stockholder, and are rarely brought to his notice. Like the absentee landlord of an estate he thinks of the stock as an investment, and regards it primarily, if not exclusively, from the point of view of revenue; and the revenue is independent of the morality of the management. Indeed it may be greater where the management...
