...your Freshman year be an introduction to Harvard, a survey course. Don't hesitate to look around and try things out. Don't overspecialize in one line of endeavor. Don't let your studies get you down so that you feel that you cannot do anything else. Keep your head up, look around, and do a little judicious experimentation. Don't get into a rut during the first year. You will have three other years for this, and these three others cannot be enjoyed unless you have chosen wisely as a result of a well spent first year...
Thus snorted handsome, Harvard-bred John H. Baker, the banker-trained executive-director of the National Association of Audubon Societies when, last fortnight, the U. S. Biological Survey announced through President Roosevelt that this year, like last, there will be a 30-day open season for duckshooting. Using the Drought as his prime argument, Director Baker had been trying to have duckshooting suspended entirely until the birds can breed up to their oldtime numbers.

Daily bag limits for 1936 remain as in 1935 - ten ducks of all species and four geese or brant - with only one day's bag allowed in possession at any time...

Heartened by a Columbia survey in which 23% of one program's listeners said they detested "ultramoder. -" music, and 19% cried out against jazz, the bankers' group hired the Philadelphia Symphony Orchestra, on a.three-year contract. Starting in November, the orchestra will serenade the U. S. public in a weekly concert under sponsorship of Manhattan's Chase National Bank, Chicago's First National. With...
