...studied. The composers of the Middle Ages receive a great deal of attention, and the advancement each one made is carefully pointed out. Later, the lives and works of more modern masters are studied, those masters whose works have such an influence on the public of the present day, and the merit of their works as compared with that of their predecessors is fully discussed. By frequent illustrations upon the piano the student is easily shown the effect which different composers had on the music of their day, and is enabled to distinguish and compare the different styles...

B.'s by patent machinery. They might leave out Harvard College in the cold if they chose, and stigmatize her studies, her habits, her buildings, her societies, as old-fashioned. Sooner or later they would all come back to her, as having discovered and worked...
