Misinformation alone can account for the press reports from Berlin stating that the fact that Professor Schofield is a British subject has caused some unfavorable comment there. Long before Harvard's representative left, it was known in Germany that he was of Canadian birth, but no objection was offered.

...intelligent appreciation of music should not be confined to the few who are able to perform, but should be acquired by all who have a normal, though latent, sense of musical beauty.

Of actual thefts no comment is necessary other than the expression of a hope that the perpetrators will eventually be ascertained. The individuals, however, who borrow or hide books which are much in demand may be amenable to reason and to a recognition of the rights of fellow members. Recently a certain book was prescribed in Philosophy E. Immediately the volume disappeared from the library...
