Although a few football songs have already been submitted to the committee, the number does not indicate that any large proportion of the men capable of composing suitable songs have responded to the appeal. Each year a few new pieces come out, but it is not often that a really enduring composition is evolved. This is surely not due to lack of capable musicians, for Harvard certainly has its share of accomplished performers and composers. It is rather due, we believe, to the fact that the best class of musical talent in the University feels a distaste for writing...
...American business or professional man, even though he have a college degree, is often without education in classical and modern music. When he has artistic interest, it is usually in the more tangible and available arts of Painting, Sculpture, Literature, and Architecture...
Those who travel widely seldom remain any length of time in a large city without visiting its principal monuments and collections.

This almost unqualified freedom of choice, which is peculiarly Harvard's has often been criticised by those who doubt the ability of the average undergraduate to think intelligently for himself. They can no doubt, cite actual cases of misdirected energies or of too widely distributed plans of study, but these will be the exceptions. Few men who are old enough to pass the requirements...
