...strained atmosphere has lightened considerably now, and the question of Faculty-student relations seems to be easing its way to settlement--not soon enough for the end of March perhaps, but soon enough to remind one of the Almanack's proviso. The Council has just heard a report, based on interviews with various Faculty members, which indicates that the Council would be welcome at meetings of Faculty committees...
...preliminary Study Card perched on every student's desk is an expendable nuisance.

...musical theme to express, he can express it as perfectly upon the simple tetrachord of Mercury (in which there are, as we all know, no diatonic intervals whatever) as upon the more elaborate disdiapason (with the familiar four tetrachords and the redundant note) which, I need not remind you, embraces in its simple consonance all the single, double and inverted chords...
