Dick Harlow was not pleased with yesterday's scrimmage in general, but Macdonald's work was highly satisfactory. He ran and passed in fine style, and observers predict that he will be ready to go at full speed against New Hampshire on Saturday...

Roussel's String Trio, Op. 58, which was played at the Longy School last evening, shows how remarkably his style had softened since the time of his Violin Sonata and the works of his middle life. The same development is apparent in Prokofiev. The change from the acrid dissonance of works like the Scythian Suite to the out-and-out romanticism of the G minor Violin Concerto is one of the most striking examples of what...

In its simplest form the proposal is that the threatened gap in undergraduate instruction be filled where necessary and within existing budgetary limitations by the creation of associate professors on permanent tenure for whom there is no vacancy calculably in sight in the full...
