Such knowledge would have been the only way to make sense of the extensive nomenclature that was thrown at the audience during the performance.

The so-called “wide disparity between the two sets of masters’ performance?? is simply a flagrant exaggeration. For example, contrary to the popular myth, the Kirshners ate regularly in the dining hall, hosted a plethora of events in the master’s residence, and were highly visible at many other House events. They always attended our formal events, and oversaw a number of positive changes...
