Reached at Graz, Austria, Dr. Eckener nearly broke down at the body blow to his life's work. Voice husky and goatee aquiver, the Jieavy old man sagged like one of his airships short of gas as he hurried back to Berlin...
Next year owing to a dearth of assistants, the popular survey curse in the history of music, Music 1, will be cut form 300 students to 150. This alone will strike a serious blow at the study of music here and will necessitate especial care in the selection of applicants so as to insure the admission of enough Freshmen for whom this course is fundamental. Inability to gain admission to Music 1 in Freshman year may well result in turning away many potential music concentrators. In like manner, Music A, basic course in the theory of music, is being pared...

Again he screamed, and when it was withdrawn this time he was ready to confess...
...Philadelphia's William Kincaid have taken years to perfect themselves. Flute technique is hard because a flautist cannot see his lips or the air coming from them, but none the less his lips must be properly shaped, his wind properly directed. A flautist does not blow through the flute, but across its mouthpiece to the opposite edge. The edge vibrates, sets the whole column of air in the flute vibrating. Flute tones are made by this vibrating air column, just as violin tones are made by a vibrating string. Their pitch, similarly, depends upon the length...
