...magazines, Mr. Petersen, for instance, has caught the--Red Blood Craze. His cattleship story called "Murph"--well-constructed and boldly written and vivid as it unquestionably is--is too full of perspiration and profanity and filth.

Musical composition like all other forms of artistic endeavor does not flourish under competitive stimulus with a set occasion for its object. We may want new songs, but it is doubtful if they can best be obtained in the old way. On the other hand we realize that no amount of enthusiasm on the part of the students singing a song can contribute anywhere nearly as much toward the perfection...
