...approved by the necessary House authorities, the Student Council's "Committee on House Dances" should succeed in ending the major headache of College Dance Committees. The mass robbery to which inexperienced undergraduate contact men have been ever subjected by unscrupulous agents has had much to do with the one thousand dollar deficit caused by the spring dances. A centralized, experienced board, working through agents known to be reliable or dealing directly with the Musician's Union is the logical answer to a difficult situation...

Superintendent Wade tried to placate them by batting up a new scheme: instead of firing 125 teachers, retire 40 old ones. The saving would be the same, because...

Rand, who retires to become Professor Emeritus; Dr. Louis C. Graton, Professor of Mining Geology, as Sturgis Hooper Professor of Geology, to succeed Dr. Reginald A. Daly, who retires to become Professor Emeritus; and Dr. Richard H. Follis, Jr., (M. D. Johns Hopkins '36), as Associate in Pathology at the Harvard Medical School...
