Within the next few years, the great chunk of money brought in by tuition will be cut sharply, as the University reconverts to normal enrollments and the College abandons its three-term year. Reconversion will precipitate something of a drop in expenses, but during inflationary times such a drop can hardly compensate for the loss of tuition. This leaves the University two alternatives: to increase tuition, or to increase the endowment...
...Technicolored celebration of Gary Cooper's virility, Paulette Goddard's femininity and the American Frontier Spirit. The movie is getting such stentorian ballyhoo that a lot of cinemagoers are likely to think less of it than it deserves. It is, to be sure, a huge, high-colored chunk of hokum; but the most old-fashioned thing about it is its exuberance, a quality which 66-year-old Director DeMille preserves almost single-handed from the old days when even the people who laughed at movies couldn't help liking them...
...Chopin's was doled out in little snippets mostly transcribed for orchestra, but in "Song of Love" Metro has avoided all of these faults.

His opponents, assessing Dewey's trip, decided that he had blundered. Reports were coming back from politicians who were more riled than anything else by Dewey's attempted blitz. Some experts figured that Dewey had played right into the hands of Harold Stassen, who has long been trying to get Dewey...
...sounds that came out of the Berkshire woods were more cacophonous than symphonic. In the vast Music Shed, a student orchestra was rehearsing; in a nook of the carefully pruned gardens, a student agonized in solitude with his French horn. Strolling amid these sights & sounds was a short chunk of a man with a square face and a wild mane, who looked like a composer. He was-he was also guest of honor at Serge Koussevitzky's Berkshire Music Festival. His name: Arthur Honegger...
