...University has been fortunate in securing the eminent Brazilian scholar, author and diplomat, His Excellency, Dr. Manuel de Oliveira Lima, to occupy, for one year, the new chair of Latin American History and Economics. It is no great exaggeration to say that it would be impossible to find a man more qualified than he to fulfill the purpose for which this professorship was founded, namely, to spread sane and accurate knowledge of the past and present conditions of our sister republics to the southward...

...symphony has quite enough in it for any intellect at one sitting. He also points out the errors of an unbalanced choice of compositions for a concert whereby one tour de force completely obliterates all the others, or at least totally ruins their effects. Any sensitive concert goer will say how true this is; but luckily, it is for the most part a vanishing evil. Notorious exceptions are the average song-recitals, when the "artist" places songs of all times and nations in a senseless and shameless promiscuity...
