...died with him; it was improvised, unwritten, spontaneous and "one of these days even his records will be played out." To approximate that music in prose, she gives accounts of where and when it was played and how Rick Martin fell when he played it-but since what he felt was principally a moment of inspiration and self-forgetfulness, her accounts might apply as well to bad jazz as to good. Young Man with a Horn sounds right when Author Baker writes about the hard, homely details of musicians' lives, the routine of rehearsals, fights, salaries, jealousies, weariness, interrupted...
Greek G is considered about the most intelligent elementary language course in the College. The only objection was that Leighton, one of the instructors, although generally commended for the interest of his classes was felt to be a little too easy-going on fundamental grammatical mistakes, causing trouble in more advanced courses. Greek A, the course in Homer, devotes the first half year to the Iliad and the second to the Odyssey. Many of the concentrators take the first half of this course and then go on to the second half of Greek B, Athenian Drama, and consider this...
...Latin, it is felt that an elementary course, such as Greek G, should be given. Latin A, which normally begins the curricular, surveys Latin literature fairly hastily, but is well considered depending on the men who give it. The death of "teachers" in the Classics makes an appearance here. Neither Murphy nor Little escape criticism here although respectable as tutors. A good introduction to Latin literature is provided in Latin B given by the very popular Professor Rand, but there are two sections provided for those who because of course conflicts are unable to attend Professor Rand's section...
Since Mathematics 2 is required for all concentrators, it was felt that one section at least should emphasize problems and practical work, (Huntington is a good engineer) so that the course may be of some use in later engineering courses. Some sections now are almost worthless from an engineering standpoint. Closer cooperation between the Engineering Sciences and Mathematics departments should solve this difficulty...
...elementary courses to be given in 1938-39 are Fine Arts 1a and 1d. 1a, on the Principles of Drawing and Painting, is ordinarily required for admission to more advanced courses in those subjects. The drawing consists mainly in copying the material discussed in the lectures, and was felt to be largely over-emphasized. The course cultivates an appreciation of art, not individual ability, which can be sought in 2a. On the whole the course does not require much original work...
