...Adams hymns with real dignity and genuine feeling the heroes of the Titanic; Mr. Wright pictures the evening with the simplicity of a master; and Mr. Thayer's snowflakes dance with lightness akin to the dancing of Herrick's creation. And with the thought of him comes a vision of Dean Prior, remote in lovely South Devon, its ancient church, the vied tower, the churchyard, and the vicarage garden...
...Marrenet's well-known "Vision Fugitive," Mr. Hancock displayed appropriate emotional wormth, and careful enunciation of the text--a virtue too rare among singers.

Professor Palmer's own thinking seems to his hearers extremely modern, in that it is created instantly and adapted unerringly to the issue before him. But a part of this very spontaneity results from his long reflections over the problems and the solutions...
