...satisfaction with the worth of Hannes Schneider as an instructor lies in the fact that in 1927, though I had never before seen a ski-binding, I managed to beat all others at Dartmouth except one member of the team in the slalom. Before snow fell I had found a book of excerpts from Schneider's The Wonders of Skiing in the library, had absorbed the feel of his technique from the photographs without understanding one word of the German text...
...playing of part of Harvard's spectacular band at important basketball games this winter sets more than a new precedent. It marks the trend of basketball towards its possible initiation as a major sport. Unfortunately, New England and Cambridge, especially, has never been basketball-conscious; neither has Harvard ever seen a good quintet; in the past the turn-out of players has been scanty and -disappointing, enough to discourage even a coach like Fesler.

Less impressionable people found Playwright Anderson off form this time, deplored his tendency toward purple prolixity wished he might comb the abundant and unruly skeins of his verse a bit more...
...decide whether their most famed painter was born in 1737 or 1738. Last week the Metropolitan Museum of Art cut the knot, arbitrarily picked the first date and gave as a bicentennial exhibition the largest showing of the works of John Singleton Copley the U. S. has ever seen. Forty-seven pictures were on view, borrowed from such diverse sources as Buckingham Palace, the St. Louis Art Museum, Harvard University, Lord Brabourne, the London Foundling Hospital, Hartford's Atheneum, and a Mr. Henderson Inches. The Metropolitan's Copley show traced the artist's development from his stiff...
