...avers, seven years of honest toil and study were required before he mastered the art of swinging the drum major's baton then Mr. Olson is justified in demanding eight for the greater complexities of the saxaphone and the other apparatus which compose modern music. But just where in this welter of the arts is there room for what is quaintly termed a liberal education? Neither Mr. Olson nor Mr. Whiteman would tolerate illiterate and uninformed artists in his troupe. And if eight years are necessary for the technical perfection desired in a jazz band, then at least...
...here listed are or have been teachers, almost all of them in universities or colleges.

From a 304 mark the figure of the Crimson hitsmiths has shrunk to 294, the lowest since the southern trip, and the first average below 300 since the first week in May, when...
...Jones '28 has fallen seven points with his fall to eighth place in the batting order. Captain Isadore Zarakov '27 has made the most notable rise of the week, jumping from 255 to 286. Zarakov hit well in the Alumni game, blasting out a home run, and previously in the Providence game, his timely single in the ninth won the contest for the University...
