...young yet, and irresponsible. The more your signatures pour in, the surer the proof that the communists have already worked havoc in Harvard, that action must quickly be taken to put teeth in the bill, and so protect future generations of students from the same fate. O Graduates of Harvard, O Corporation, O Donors, O Protectors of Americanism everywhere, unite to save the world from the professors, the thinkers, the intelligent, who have already united against this American bill.

When Beethoven went to Vienna he was an awkward, ill-kempt young man, flagrantly boorish at the fashionable soirées where he would sit down at the piano, pour out one improvisation after another. He wrote with prodigious energy. First came trios, quartets, sonatas.* The first symphony was criticized for what then seemed to be an excessive use of brasses and timpani.
