Today at 11 o'clock, the last in a series of three chamber music concerts by the Boston String Quartet will take place in Sanders Theatre. Sponsored by Mrs. Elizabeth Sprague Coolidge, these concerts have been unusually interesting because they have presented the works of Harvard composers exclusively. Today's program consists of a Trio by Walter Piston '24. Professor Hill's Quartet in C major, and a Piano Quintet in A major by John Alden Carpenter...

Poloists who belong to clubs which belong to the U. S. Polo Association receive handicaps...
...away. That was about the only time she ever bowed to public opinion.

Once, asked for a subscription to the Charitable Eye & Ear Infirmary, she replied that she had not known there was a charitable eye or ear in Boston.
