Especial mention may well be made of Mr. Moeldner's piano solos for their unusual technical finish, their repose and grasp of interpretive elements. Mr. Moeldner played excellently at the concert of last year; he nevertheless shows consistent advance in every respect particularly in his command of touch and tone.

Might it not be possible with the development of the "elective-group" system to have...
...hour's time was devoted to a general discussion in which a number of very interesting points were brought up. It was shows that very few undergraduates realize the importance of this kind of constructive work as an adjunct to their college studies, and that the learning to grasp the point of view of the non-collegian element in society was as difficult as it was a valuable accomplishment for a college...
