...though it contains most interesting facts, many of which have not before been in the possession of the public, is little more than a catalogue of the events of the past life of the great pianist.

The CRIMSON does not believe that there are such obstacles, but no one can tell with certainty until the accounts are published. Meanwhile the athletic organizations are much embarrassed in making out their accounts, which with good reason they dislike to publish until they can show just why their expenses for food were so large last year...
