...guiding light of the Harvard Orchestra, the Sodality was also functional in creating the first Professorship of Music in America; assisted in founding the Boston Symphony Orchestra; and gave a parental nod to the Harvard Glee Club. During their first years together, members vocalized as often as they scraped G-strings and on the first anniversary of the Sodality, "a number of appropriate songs were sung.... The greatest order and harmony were observed." But constant mixing of song and sonata had its drawbacks, and in 1858 the Glee Club broke away, leaving its parent organization to roam its scales alone...
When the Crimson Network decided to take on the dignified name of "Harvard Radio Network" last week, it severed the last shred of the umbilical cord that bound it to its parent organization, The Harvard Crimson.

Though some businessmen were baffled by the sudden uproar, Rand knew very well what he was doing. The Government had seized G.A.F. in the belief that G.A.F.'s Swiss parent, I.G.

America has lost its mother. . . . Great Britain has been that . . . and she has evoked the devotion, the suspicion, the resentment which fits into the personal relationship between a powerful, strong-willed parent...
...list of good works. The station gives free time to local universities-not excluding Atlanta University (for Negroes). Farmers get a daily hour (5:30-6:30 a.m.) of down-to-earth farm news, plus such extras as gifts of bred ewes to 4-H Clubbers. And with its parent paper (TIME, March 17), WSB watches "Hummon" Talmadge like a chicken hawk...
