Long the bane of Math A goers, the course texts, written by former staff members Osgood and Graustein, are admittedly inferior and used mainly for their homework problems. In places the subject matter is incorrect and in others it is now taught differently. The Department has rejected all substitutes, however, as being even more inadequate for the purpose of the course. If the staff refuses to use other books in the field, then it is clearly time to write one of its own, designed expressly for the course, as in English...
First of the two sets is the Mozart Requiem Mass, a work which despite its important position in the composer's creations and among all the works in the Mass form has been available heretofore only in an inferior and abridged Victor version by the Pennsylvania Bach Choir. In this Cetra recording of the Requiem a superb orchestra and tremendous chorus combines with such soloists as Ferrucio Tagliavini, thrilling young tenor who will soon appear with the Met, to produce an effect altogether superior to that of the American set. Particularly outstanding is the recording technique: the more than...
...floor-the real attraction was the second-act "Bell Song," a coloratura showpiece and practically Pons's theme song. Lakmé itself is a kind of earlier Madama Butterfly-involving the love of an Indian priest's daughter for an officer in the British Army-but far inferior in libretto and music...
...Divertimento by Alexai Haieff, a young Russian-born composer now living in the United States, was the composition; its value seemed to many in the audience extremely limited. It is dangerous to condemn a new work too quickly, but this seemed at first hearing to be nothing more than inferior theatrical background music which might have been used for "On the Town." Why Burgin chose to play it is a mystery typical of the whole in-and-out tradition of the Boston Symphony...
...Immigration Restriction Act of 1924 limits total annual immigration to 150,000, with individual nations held to a number proportional to their representation in the total 1920 United States population. However, the "Anglo-Saxons" and "Nordies" received a disproportionately large slice, for other Europeans were considered to be relatively inferior and undesirable. The emigration motivations of the latter were thought to be economic rather than religious or political. Unskilled and numerous, they appeared to menace full employment, the standard of living, and the assimilation process. A popular political bandwagon to jump on in 1924, restricted immigration appealed at once...
