...particularly fortunate that the Fogg Art Museum is the recipient of this fund for it has found increasing difficulty in meeting overhead expenses. This sum, large as it may seem, is not sufficient to cover all the expenses which the museum must handle each year, and in order to avoid any possible curtailment of its activities the endowment must receive substantial augmentation...
...consummate costuming and scintillating settings to produce an excellent eyeful. Such is the true George White tradition, and we believe it should be heartily encouraged. The chances are that you've heard most of the lyrics though you probably don't remember them. "Broadway", "Manhattan Mary" "The Five Step" seem to have been intended to be the hits of the evening, and, especially in the case of the last named, they are very passable...
...Harvard College will be lodged in the Yard, every indication points to an uprooting of the ties which now bind the first year unit to the dormitories fronting the Charles and a transplanting of the entire Freshman group in the Yard.

...country is in revolt, "the best people" pay no attention. Not that they do not love their Ireland: their patriotism flowers in smart patter about their vulgar cousins, the English-"they tell the most extraordinary things-about their, husbands, their money affairs, their insides. They don't seem discouraged by not being asked. And they all seem so intimate with each other ... of course they seem very definite and practical, but it is a pity they talk so much...
