...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.

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.

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...
