From concerts by the Boston Symphony under Dr. Koussevitzky to those by the Works Project Administration's Orchestra, and from Bach's St. Matthew Passion as sung by the Glee Club to "Little Buttercup" as sung by the same chorus, Harvard offers a host of opportunities in the field of music. Not only does the University benefit from the artistic life in its own community but it also profits immeasurably from the numerous contacts with musical activities in Boston...
...professors brought forth vague plans, and even these did not agree. A Frenchman was fatuous, an American was reflective, an Englishman was optimistic, but it took a Chinaman to pour cold water on the whole project in a stream of heartless logic. While Dr. Etienne Gilson had the European's traditional and misplaced confidence in the American public, Professor Malinowski of London asserted sensibly that any such organization hopeful of success must be backed by force.

If & when the 'Quoddy Dam passes muster with Congress, NYA will have to move out, the Army back...
Messrs. Edgell and Tomita knew their project was a success when Emperor Hirohito let it be known that he was willing to lend several of his own personal pieces to Boston, would permit the exporting of a certain number of "National Treasures" from state museums. A deluge of offers followed. Director Edgell, whose personal knowledge of Japanese art is rudimentary, left the selection to his associate Mr. Tomita, spent 26 days drinking tea and saki with Japanese wrestlers, silk tycoons, bankers, enjoyed himself immensely...
