...with its dissonant rustling of strings, which would tax the pitch of any singer, the voice rang true. The Moussorgsky "Dance and Revery" from "The Fair of Sorotchinsk" was sung with great dash and vigor, although Liadow's orchestration was ineffective. The orchestral accompaniment of these songs, through no fault of Mr. Monteux, might have been more even...

Stagnation can be avoided only by a willingness to innovate. There is a well-defined feeling among a good many faculty members and students that the next steps which should be taken at Harvard are modification of the lecture and examination systems and further development of the tutorial system. The chief obstacles to these reforms are opposition among the alumni and lack of financial resources...
