President Seymour's Report, however, seems to indicate that Yale, like Harvard, has closed her eyes to such a method of solving the tenure problem. This move is unfortunate not only in itself but because it furthers a policy made fashionable by Harvard. Strict adherence to actuarial tables as a criterion for appointments is scarcely in line with giving the best possible education available. No extensions of the budget are necessary to raise the level of instruction. The difficulty can be circumvented by a change in the inflexible promotion policy...
...many problems forced upon the United States by the present European conflict, one of the most important is an educational problem--What shall the schools teach about the war? This question cannot be solved by the method adopted by certain New York schools; there teachers were forbidden to speak about the war. The Graduate School of Education recently held a meeting of schoolmen to discuss the problem more fully. The results of this conclave have meaning for teacher and student alike...

...hard to say that one instrument is more difficult than another, but the method of tone production in the brass is certainly extremely treacherous and touchy. The hornets or trumpeter is dependent on subtonic adjustments of his breath and lip muscles rather than on the finger and arm motions, which most other musicians employ. The difficulty of tone production is especially important when the player must enter after a long period of rest. In music of the pre-Romantic period--for example, Beethoven's First Symphony in the next Friday and Saturday symphony concerts--the player must continually pick...
