...building construction, trains, bridges, and ports. Making use of the full range of light effects which his medium allows, he turns his subjects into delightful black and white near-abstractions which show only the idyllic side of his industrial subjects. In "New York" he steps farther into the realm of the abstract to give an impression of the city in a pleasing design. Wanda Gag seems to be impressed with the irregularity of the physical world, and turns out some work with a great deal of character...

Sung by the combined choruses of Harvard and Radcliffe, the presentation of the Mass marks the complete emancipation of the college glee club from its traditional limitations. Following the escape from the realm of the football song and the English balled, college organizations have gradually attempted the singing of works of ever increasing magnitude, and now they have attained the level of the B. Minor Mass, perhaps the greatest choral music ever written. And it is owing to the presence of Doctor Davison and Mr. Woodworth...
