...entering college were greeted by an invitation similar in content but couched in no uncertain terms, and brooking no refusal; and when no choir's "selections chosen especially for the occasion" were held out as a mildly alluring bait.

The time is surely fitting, now that the old order of things in University Hall has passed away, and we stand in ignorance of the "age that is waiting before." A few well...
