...some people have no respect for tradition, and the rejuvenated athletic department at Penn seems to contain a few such individuals. Going to the University of Pennsylvania for the athletic program used to be like going to Wool-worth's to buy a suit. But some of the more ambitious persons connected with Penn went out to rustle up some jocks, and the shortest of chats with some of the Quaker's heavyweight oarsmen, last Saturday at Worcester makes it quite clear that they came up with a pretty rare and rugged species.

...Chopin F-minor Concerto with Artur Rubinstein is heavy and graceless, and Tchaikovsky's Pathetique Symphony lacks the bite and immediacy of a nine-year-old version that Columbia re-engineered and rereleased last year. Bruckner's Seventh Symphony has a glossiness that does not suit the music at all. Mozart's Jupiter and Schubert's Unfinished symphonies are the most unresonant...
