The History 32 glee club is, of course, only an experiment, but there is every reason to expect that vocal selections will really be able to brighten and "vitalize" the study of history. Psychologists have long been aware that the mind retains most vividly impressions received under emotional stress, while to educators the fact will, we trust, be demonstrated that music as an aid to learning should not be confined solely to kindergartens.
