...article or a poem in a college paper derives additional interest from the reader's acquaintance with the writer; and it is not absolutely necessary that this acquaintance be a personal one. The knowledge that we are reading an author of whose merits we have formed a previous judgment imparts zest, even if that author presents himself to our imagination only as X, Y, or Z.

As the criticism there made was directed chiefly to the methods employed and to the orchestration, it may not be superfluous to add a few remarks for the assistance of those who are endeavoring to form their judgment of the merits of the different choruses...
