...four regional universities mentioned in your article. The taxable wealth of North Carolina has increased tremendously during the present decade, and many citizens feel that the state can now support additional universities. As a holder of two degrees from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and as an assistant professor at E.C.U., I am convinced, as are the citizens of North Carolina, that the latter institution can develop without jeopardizing the academic position of the former...
...only been since the quartet's last concert in Pittsburgh on Dec. 26 that he has had time to put in a full day's work on the score. Recently it was given its world premiere by a student chorus at the University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill, under Professor Lara Hoggard, in a utility version for organ, percussion, chorus and baritone solo; its first orchestra performance is scheduled by the Cincinnati Symphony late next month...
...Turkey. Even with reduced scoring at the Chapel Hill performance, Brubeck's oratorio attested the composer's solid training as a serious musician, mostly under the eye of the French master Darius Milhaud at Mills College in Oakland, Calif.

Painter Albrecht Dürer, when he saw the panels in 1521, exclaimed: "I have never seen the like...
Washington's National Gallery of Art now offers a double opportunity to see what Dürer was talking about. To a Sithium panel, acquired in 1964, depicting The Assumption of the Virgin, the gallery has now added a companion piece from Isabella's chapel, a Juan de Flandes panel illustrating The Temptation of Christ, bought at auction last June in London for $161,700. Beside the overly saccharine Sithium, the 8-in. by 6-in. miniature by De Flandes is indeed a gem of sprightly precision...
