Wilson is not alone in a feeling that Harvard should and will take the lead in any new movement having a certain intellectual character. "The West Coast experiments give modern jazz an intellectual aura, and this should rivet the Ivy Leaguer to the idea of jazz as an art form. What we need first is a different attitude in the Music Department. Then we need a club with a definite idea--a fixed purpose--and some means to endure when the original members leave.

Techniques could become stultified, and originality driven out. Continuous repetition "can be insidious," Burke states, and standardized practices could, in effect, destroy potential profits. There should be some provision to discontinue outdated agencies...
