...scene which takes place each week in these Houses. And this mass sits and waits while a small group of tutors and undergraduates eat in tuxedo splendor to the tune of choice "dinner-table" conversation. Until the subway rush on the nights of House dinners is eliminated and some method produced to let the uninvited majority eat at its pleasure, it appears improbable that the idea of the House dinner will be adopted by the other units...
...attention given to the Refugee situation is undoubtedly laudable. I think, however, that the Harvard Committee for Refugees is making a mistake in its method of attacking the problem. It seems to me that to help 25 refugee students through college by means of monetary subscriptions is short-sighted and unintelligent.

Beethoven's method of worshipping God transcends all formal limits; to him the capability of his players and the capacity of his audience are both unimportant. Hence all the more honor is due the Glee Club, the Choral Society, and the Orchestra for reaching a new peak in their joint career...
