...program will be divided into three parts, with a guest conductor for each group of pieces. First visiting maestro will be Ernest Hoffmann '18, who has proved his ability to many Cambridge music lovers in his former conducting of the State Symphony Orchestra. He will present a march by Strube called "Harvard Cruiser." This will be followed by von Weber's Overture to "Oberon," with Three German Dances by Mozart and Dvorak's "New World" Symphony bringing the group to a close...
...When I myself hear the word 'Englishman,' the instinctive portrait evoked is that, I regret to say, of Strube's Little Man [see cut].* I see a small, kindly, bewildered, modest, obstinate, and very lovable little person. . . . Upon this first impression a more noble presentation imposes itself, and the contours of Strube's Little Man expand and strengthen into the firm, fine features of Mr. Stanley Baldwin. In some such outward semblance do I visualize the solidity, the good humor, the honesty, the inconsequence, and the indolence of our race...

...Critic Henry Louis Mencken led an outraged charge by members of the "Saturday Night Club" upon two drunks who, loudly denouncing War, tried to crash into the club's meeting in the back room of a Baltimore restaurant. With Publisher Alfred A. Knopf, Biologist Raymond Pearl, Conductor Gustav Strube at his heels, Critic Mencken chased the rowdies to the street, collared them, had them jailed overnight.
