...Permanent Undersecretary and a knighthood. He is an iron-willed negotiator. At an UNRRA conference in Montreal in 1944, he held a deadlocked meeting in session most of the night, finally convinced Russia's delegates that they had misinterpreted their instructions from Moscow. After the war, despite an offer to become Permanent Undersecretary of the Foreign Office, he returned to Oxford...
...cave until one becomes accustomed to it and objects begin to loom up through the fog. . . . Sitting down is a dangerous business. One of the chairs has only three legs; and the children are playing at cooking on another one which happens to be whole, and which they offer to the guest; so if you sit down it is at the risk of ruining your trousers...

To remedy this situation we have planned to offer, as an experiment, a course in the Summer Term to be called the Materials of Music, to be given by Assistant Professor Richard French. This course in theory will be a counterpart of Music 1, the well-known course in the history and literature of Music. If the experiment is a success, we eventually hope to offer the course...
