Even the greatly reduced string ensemble in Bach's C-minor concerto (no. 1) for violin and oboe often failed to express the grace and flexibility in this lovely music. The soloists were the winners of the orchestra's concerto contest: John Austin played a rather discreet fiddle, which was occasionally overwhelmed by the powerful oboe playing of Carl Schlaikjer; nevertheless both parts were very well done. The other competition winned was E. S. Stewart, whose Variations on a Melody won the contest for undergraduate compositions...
...from the student the sole reason for such actions; the student-leader has the example of countless numbers of his elders. One reads so frequently of political pecadillos on the national level that one may easily come to suppose that the only way to get into politics is through minor illegal machination...

But the path has been laid, and he who wishes may follow it. That few do so is a credit not to the obscurity of the path, but to the strength of the individual...

Last June, the H.A.A. dropped lacrosse and golf as varsity sports, and reduced support for club-teams in sailing, skiing, rifle, and pistol--a savings of $15,000 annually (about the salary of a full professor...
