...bird to a mastodon. Humming bird skeletons once cost $25, but Preparator Kirchoff now turns them out with such dispatch that the price has dropped to $10. John Santens, 60, Ward's sole surviving taxidermist, is officially retired but keeps on working. So many schools and museums now teach taxidermy that Ward's demand for stuffed animals has fallen almost to zero, and the antlers of moose, deer and caribou cluttering the biology department gather much dust, few orders...

The advanced study of music requires individual attention almost entirely, and this it is next to impossible to provide; the seven men on the staff of the department are over-worked, and it has been necessary to group the graduate students together in small courses under the general heading of Music...
...Music Department is apparently ready and eager to teach music: this is cannot do with any conspicuous degree of success while it is struggling to function with inadequate facilities, and an under-manned personnel. The panacca for these ailments is, of course, more money. The problem of who is to get what share of tercentenary spoils is a ticklish one: there are certain crying needs which cannot be overlooked, and the Music Department's is one of them...
