The most eminent Freudians in Britain today still haughtily deny that they ever heard of it-a pose difficult to maintain in view of the fact that the International Congress of Psychotherapy at Barcelona in September was centered on existential analysis.

Credit for the excellent balance must go to the director, whose attention to the niceties of choral singing, such as elegant diction, indicates his ability to maintain the high technical standards of the Harvard choral tradition.
