Composer Berg's music was perplexing at first. It had all the dissonances to be expected of a pupil of modernistic Arnold Schönberg. There were no conventional harmonies, no set songs. Baritone Ivan Ivantzoff (Wozzeck) sometimes spoke, sometimes sang his lines. Soprano Anne Roselle (Marie, Wozzeck's mistress) had music so hideously difficult that it defied full, smooth tones. Robert Edmond Jones's simple, color-splashed sets had more general appeal: a ghoulish eye set in a screen for the doctor's examining office; the elongated shadow of a stack of guns for the soldier's barracks; a festoon...
Married.

Though we may have seemed highly vitriolic in our condemnation of student apathy, we do not really feel that the student body is, after all, ultimately to blame.

...comparison with the other institutions, however. In South Bend, Indiana there is a college not even mentioned by the Boston Herald but which has established a standard of football which has been unsurpassed for some time. There are small colleges in which the Haison between teacher and pupil is much closer than in the large impersonal universities. Experimental institutions such as Rollins are blazing new trails in education and according to their own standards of excellence are the best in the country. It can almost be said that every college has something unique to offer which places...
Guessers. In the Bellanca seaplane Tradewind, Lieut. William S. MacLaren, former U. S. N. pilot, and his pupil Widow Beryl Hart, 27, transport pilot, took off from New York last week for Bermuda, Azores, Paris. Instead of a radio the plane carried a small cargo of advertised foodstuffs for "the first payload flight to Europe." In "rocking" the plane off the still water the flyers knocked to the floor their sextant - only navigating instrument aboard - but instead of turning back they elected to guess their course. Navigator MacLaren guessed right at first, picked up two steamers about halfway; guessed wrong...
