...received $1,338,563 from 35.3 per cent of Harvard's 47,534 alumni. At Yale 55.2 per cent of the alumni gave $2.6 million. And at Dartmouth, which has only 28,042 alumni, 75.9 per cent of them gave $1,215,740. Thus, the Harvard endowment grows meatier principally on heavy special purpose gifts and on bequests. Yet, despite the growing strength of its private backing, Harvard's finances have undergone a major change since World War II. With expenses growing at more than five per cent annually, dependence on government money has increased dramatically. In the next decade...
Public & Private. The project was the idea of Czech-born Conductor Franz Allers. 51, a maestro of melting musical-comedy scores (Brigadoon, Paint Your Wagon). Conductor Allers yearned for meatier material, and in 1947 he persuaded a bunch of the boys from the Brigadoon pit to get together in off-hours to try their hand at a little Debussy, Mozart and Beethoven. When Allers took over the baton in Fair Lady, some of the singers asked him to continue his out-of-hours musicmaking. Result: the Allers opera workshop, which in short order sang, without sets or costumes, Mozart...

Various Breeds. Looking for heavier, meatier animals, the rancher turned to the foreign breeds that were trickling into the country as early as 1783: first the Shorthorn (Durham), then the Hereford and the Aberdeen Angus from Britain, and from India the hardy Brahman. But no breed possessed all virtues. The Shorthorn-for a time the most popular-is massive and placid but critics say it suffers from heat and a tendency to sterility. The white-faced Hereford-its successor and still the leading U.S. breed-is hailed by many ranchers as a hardy forager and the best beef animal...
...consuming love turned to hate and revenge; the score followed the choreography closely in mood and motion. Last week Dimitri Mitropoulos and the Philharmonic-Symphony played Barber's recomposition of the same scenes, called Medea's Meditation and Dance of Vengeance. It turned out to be a meatier work for full symphony than as a dance accompaniment, with the same virtues-and the same faults-that have made Barber, 45, one of the most-performed of contemporary American composers...
