...same concerts that were given on the steps of Widener last spring will be renewed next May and June, with a larger series, probably followed by community singing. A new addition to its plan will be a series of concerts in the music hall, illustrating some particular phase of choral music. Owning to the great demand for tickets for the Sanders Theatre series and the limited space of Sanders Theatre, the management has moved the series to Symphony Hall, Boston, where the club will sing three concerts...
...Class Ode, by Paul Rice Doolin, is a good chore well done, and there is no particular fault to be found with Mr. King's "Comradeship," in the June number.

Whether Mr. Ellis considers him a failure because he committed the murder or because he was unable to hide his guilt, we cannot say; but it was probably...
...Czecho-Slovakia, Austria-Hungary, the Italian frontier and the states of the Balkans. The historical background is given in each case, but each problem is placed in the perspective of the negotiations at Paris and viewed primarily as one calling for practical solution in the treaties of peace. Particular attention is given to questions which involve the League of Nations, and specially prepared maps enable the reader to see at a glance the changes of frontier and the boundaries of the new states. The volume is both authoritative and readable...
