Heard separately, either of the symphonic poems played yesterday would please, perhaps thrill. En masse, as they were heard, they seemed a little too much. The ever beautiful D minor symphony began the program. It is a work of marvellous vitality, rich in harmonic structure and solidly if not exotically orchestrated. It is a piece in which great pains must be taken to avoid sentimentality; these Mr. Monteux took, at the expense, perhaps, of some of the beauty of the second movement. Four years ago, when the symphony was last heard in Boston, the tempo of this second movement...
...Would it thrill our readers to know that on February 29th, 1917, the CRIMSON advocated a 10-cent fare, due to the fact the Elevated 8-cent pieces were Jamming the telephone pay stations; that on April 19, 1918, the CRIMSON held out for a maximum 7-cent fare, and last year offered as the first plank in its reform of Massachusetts a 5-cent fare-the exact stand taken now by the "Boston American" and the "Boston Telegram"?

When one goes to the theatre expecting to see "America's greatest drama," and to come away with hair on end, feeling like the proverbial jelly, it is just a little disappointing to receive only a moderate thrill, and to have the guilty suspicion either that your ideas of the greatest drama are all wrong, or that someone has exaggerated. Remarkable drama, artistic drama, "The Emperor Jones" assuredly is, and possibly also the greatest of its kind that America has yet produced--but that, after...
...interest in Harvard University can fail to feel a thrill of pride when he realizes that practically all of the Harvard men able to pass the physical examinations took some part of other in the defense of their country during the late war, and on one go through the transept of Memorial or on to Soldiers Field without understanding that this is no new spirit for Harvard. It is one of the traditions of the greatest American university, and I am glad to say that it is equally the tradition of all of our leading American colleges. The American college...
