...Alumni meets have been of the 'thrilling' type because not only do they afford the season's first test of a usually green Varsity, but because they present the unusual and sometimes pathetic spectacle of some of Harvard's all-time aquatic here, Charlie Hutter, will take time off from his Medical School studies to compete in the sprint events, while his perpetual Alumni-meet rival, George "24-second" Scott, plans to thrash out a mighty 50 yards. Rusty Greenhood, last year's captain and League champion diver, will team with Bun Merriam, another former Crimson star, to features...
There will be other graduate performers present as well, but their names can rarely be predicted in advance since business, wives, and other ties make heavy inroads on the veterans' time. Some of them come to the meet as the result of a last minute impulse; in fact, it was only last year that Don McKay '38, redheaded sprint man, was drafted from the pool balcony where he had been content as a spectator and a n escort...

Two Handel compositions--the Concerto Grosso number 24, and the Sinfonia to Ottone--will also be played. All of these works are unfamiliar to us and probably to the majority of concert-goers. The Handel concerto is interesting, for the two movements of which it is composed are really sketches for the well-known Water Music and will show the seeds of some of Handel's loveliest musical ideas...
