...Jazz is scorned only by amateur highbrows," maintained Edward B. Hill, '94, professor of Music, in a recent interview with The CRIMSON. Real Jazz, he thinks, should not be considered in depreciatory sense, for in France the only American compositions thought worthy of notice are the popular songs.

Any other American musical offerings are considered as mere reflections of the music of the continent and unworthy of special attention...
...does not, however, consider himself a full-fledged writer of jazz tunes. "I only wish I were," he said rather ruefully. Instead, he terms his recent efforts as "flirtations with jazz...

In recent times such an act has been paralleled only by the 1911 consistory at which Pius X created 19 new Princes of the Church. The Sacred College has dwindled to 49 members-24 Italian, 25 non-Italian. The additions to be made by Pius XI will reverse the balance, 39 to 30, will bring the number to the highest point in the Church's history, only...
