...overt adoration, especially if he has won the heart of his audience only recently. So it was last week in Carnegie Hall, at the end of Guest Conductor Wilhelm Furtwangler's third season with the New York Philharmonic. In 1925 he first came as guest conductor, a studious young man from Berlin and Vienna who had pleased without enchanting. Last year he was a serious, efficient workman, but sometimes also an experimenter, a personality to the few. This winter he permitted his private feelings more rein and the audience knew...
...killed or wounded sometime during their career by the traffic in the Square, especially during the slippery season. Statistics on the subject are not available; but it is safe to assume that even the laziest student enters the Yard once a day, and that even the most studious of those having rooms there are obliged to go out once a day in search of food.

No "official actions" was taken and presumably the University continues to swim its way around the globe, trusting in the triumph of mind over matter...
...lack of inspiration runs through the whole body of teachers in the University. There are no more exceptions low than high and it is the present intention to point out that large courses suffer as much from the studious pre-occupation of section men as the small ones do from the scholarly inclinations of professors. It is, moreover, true that the evil of lifeless section men is the mere deplorable because they officiate in almost all freshman courses. Despite occasional lectures from on high, they tend to typify Harvard pedagogy in the eyes of the newcomers. It is thus that...
