Richard M. Jopling cleverly throttles American music by writing of its development and prefacing his remarks with the statement that it is practically non-existent.

Chubb's statement of "The Position of the Internationalists of Europe" the reader will feel grateful for a timely, informative article. There is but one story; better so than to lower the standard. "The Finger of the Muse" advisedly deals in experience true to boy life, and presents it with a light touch...
...CRIMSON wishes to correct a statement made last week concerning Mr. Hans Ebell's pianoforte recital. The recital will be held in the John Knowles Paine Hall at 8.15 o'clock on Friday evening, November 13, and not next Friday, as previously announced...
