...rehearsals, classes, Parker managed to carry a prodigiously heavy schedule. He still found time to write odes, masques, chamber music, organ-pieces, ballads, overtures, sonatas, cantatas, two operas. But he never equaled his early Hora Novissima. At 56, rheumatic and overworked, Parker wrote A.D. 1919 as a memorial to Yalemen killed in the War, died soon after...
...Boys, you've got the world by the tail," chuckled Yale's old Professor Irving Fisher some ten years ago when a couple of bright young graduates outlined their plans for exploiting a patented automatic stop & go traffic signal.

Brisk, witty James Rowland Angell has in 15 years transformed the nation's second university spiritually and materially. Quadrupling its endowment (from $25,000,000 to $95,000,000), spending the fortune of Lawyer John W. Sterling...
...Montclair, N. J. 300 Yalemen made merry at the first "Nick Roberts' Old Yale Barn Party" staged since 1933 after the custom inaugurated by Yaleman Nicholas Roberts, onetime head of defunct S. W. Straus & Co., Manhattan bondhouse. The Yalemen cheered peptalks by Football Coach Raymond ("Ducky") Pond, Captain Lawrence Morgan ("Larry") Kelley and Captain-elect Clinton Frank, sang Boola, Boola under the direction of Radio Singer Lancelot ("Lanny") Ross, 1927 Yale track captain. The Montclair Yale Bowl awarded annually to the Yaleman "who has made his Y in life," first won in 1926 by Pennsylvania Railroad's late...
