Monsieur Agide Jaechia, late conductor of the Pops Concerts, is now in Boston with his fighting spirit keyed to a high pitch. Ever since his resignation as conductor of the Symphony Orchestra last spring, he has borne an intolerable dislike for Symphony officials which has carried over until its odium rests upon the head of Serge Koussevitzky. Now Jacchia intends to give public expression to his grudge by starting a rival orchestra...
Interest centred upon "Butcher" Weyler. At 87 he has outlived, but not lived down, the odium of his bloodthirsty governorship of Cuba (1896-97)-a direct and major cause of the Spanish-American War. His position among the older and potent hierarchy of Spanish officers was never successfully challenged until last fall (TIME, Oct. 19). At that time General (Dictator) Primo de Rivera, representative of the younger military clique, ousted him from the gold-braided citadel, which he occupied as Chief of Staff of the Spanish Army.

What has conduct to do with passing examinations? And what more natural, with a long year of college discipline ahead of them, than for boys who have been grilling through hot summer afternoons to brighten their evenings and weekends with mad pranks? Particularly when some of the boys are rich...
...team that had given the Yale netmen a strong fight. The almost unexpected 9-0 victory that resulted for the University gave rise to very high hopes for the Yale match on the following Saturday. Yale, however, with the characteristic determination of the Bull Dog refused to accept the odium of defeat and struggled on to a tied score at 4-4, with the outcome of the match between Whitbeck and Ingraham and Jones and Watson still in the air at a set apiece. A sudden squall of rain, when the players were about to start their final set, ended...
