...hundred fifty men. This task in itself is overwhelming and naturally thankless, and its very enormity precludes any opportunity for personal attention, or the chance to spend either more or less time with certain students. With the outlook for an increased budget for next year extremely slim, the obvious solution is a return to the tried and tested system of hour examinations. These undoubtedly have their faults, but compared to the abject failure which the present system of "personal contact" has proven in History 2, almost anything would be infinitely preferable.

Curving melody flows from the orchestra while he sings, "Just like a little squirrel are all her pretty movements." To many Tristan would seem foolish delivering a literal translation of his part in the exalted love duet. The music would be reaching its grandest climax while...
