Since Dean Langdell founded the case system at the Law School about half a century ago and built up the school's reputation and instruction, there has been a large growth of law schools throughout the country.

Others are bona fide legal institutions, wielding considerable influence in making the law the technical and social profession which it should be.

For in music in this country our only very appreciable progress has been professional. professionalized music, bought and sold like any other commodity of luxury or convenience, has been the brand with which we are all familiar. We hear of exorbitant prices paid to the great singers. We know the tremendous cost of maintaining opera, or a symphony orchestra; and on the other hand, we hear about the fortune made by a clever writer of popular songs. Our basis of the value of music is for the most part...
