...ghost of an old man with a sabre scar across his cheek hovered over Boston's Symphony Hall last week. In his honor Conductor Sergei Koussevitzky had prepared a six-day Bach festival and undertaken to give two complete performances of the great B Minor Mass. Contralto Margaret Matzenauer had come to do some of the soloing in her deep, vibrant voice. Singers from Harvard University and Radcliffe College had worked for weeks polishing the difficult choruses. Conductor Koussevitzky was keyed to a pitch where no amount of effort was too much to spend in the memory of Major Henry...

...possibilities opened up by this discovery are innumerable. Margaret Sanger will no longer be able to declare birth control a necessity to prevent overpopulation; her opponents will simply abolish competitive athletics and its dependent literature. Of course, there might be some difficulty in enforcement--"Freddie on the Football Field" would soon become as valuable as "Ulysses". In the same way a nation depopulated by war or famine could make a remarkable comeback by the importation of several footballs and a few stray authors. And as for the college students over emphasis may not be such a bad thing after...
