...Music has long been used in the psychiatric wards of Bellevue and Johns Hopkins Hospitals with remarkable, if temporary, success. Schubert's Ave Maria will quiet raging maniacs, claims Dr. Podolsky, and Beethoven's Egmont Overture has cheered many a victim of melancholia. A champion of pure music, Dr. Podolsky finds small medical virtue in swing, warns psychiatrists off Wagner "warhorses" and "severely intellectual modern music," urges them to add Chopin and Mozart to their musical pharmacopoeia...
Chairman McKinsey's success was magnificent but brief. In 1935 and 1936 Marshall Field was back in the black; in 1937 things went to pot all over again.

At the end, all the rapscallion, intriguing, turncoat ne'er-do-wells on whom he has sprinkled his life join him in a rowdy, surrealistic, drunken brawl...
...balance this present emphasis on victorious teams, the idea of a new trophy which would be presented to the house with the largest percentage participation in the athletic program has been suggested. This type of trophy would greatly aid in the success of the House Athletic Program in that it would favor the house which had the most rather than the best men on the field. Thus it would be in keeping with the original conception of house athletics which, far from producing athletes of varsity calibre, was to give each undergraduate an opportunity to compete in organized athletics...
