...Europe had approved him. Nor did Edward Elgar's father, who, in spite of being the town's best organist, had to keep a music shop to eke out a living for his seven children. Elgar's early talent was extraordinary. He learned to play the organ by watching his father Sunday mornings, taught himself the bassoon well enough to play in local festivals. But Father Elgar was not impressed. He set the boy to work in a law office but Elgar soon walked out, announcing that he preferred to earn his living as a violin teacher...
Unfortunately for most attempts at reform, the advertising accounts of the pharmaceutical concerns buy them favorable publicity from almost every news organ they care to patronize. When the Tugwell-Copeland pure food and drug bill, demanding honest advertising, comprehensible analyses of each product on every label, was introduced in Washington early last December, the machine set to work to picket its trough.

It is from the intellectual 'mob,' with the failures from all academic professions, the spiritually unfit and the morally inhibited, at its head, that the gangsters of Liberal and Bolshevist risings are recruited...
...morning's CRIMSON was the relative scarcity of interesting of important news about University affairs. About two thirds of the front page is devoted to what you journalists probably call "World Affairs," but which I consider out of place in your columns. The CRIMSON has for years been an organ of student opinion at Harvard. It cannot successfully rival the Boston and New York papers (or even the Cambridge Sun) for news of international or national affairs. Any intelligent student wants to know more than the poor material offered in the CRIMSON on these matters. As for your articles...
