...this intellectual vacuum, the Advocate has carried on, in its own meek way performing a valuable service. By solely publishing students' poetry and prose, the magazine causes very little excitement, but it does stimulate young writers, giving them the necessary illusion that they are getting somewhere. Aside from the pure stimulus to vanity, however, publishing in the Advocate has other, more concrete, advantages--many publishers subscribe to the magazine, and for a number of undergraduate writers it has served as a stepping stone to more lucrative satisfaction. Another aid to undergraduate writing is the board's criticism of pieces submitted...
...Orleans hotel suite sat an unkempt man, his flesh folding in rolls above his belt.

Here you would know, and enjoy, what Posterity will say of Washington. For a 1000 Leagues have nearly the same Effect with 1000 Years...
...separate Bach pieces, or about one-fourth of all the master's organ music. Last week the first two LPs of the series were released, containing the 46 chorale preludes of Bach's Orgelbüchlein (Little Organ Book). Organist Weinrich's performance is as pure and concise as Bach is supposed to sound; the distinctness of his contrapuntal lines sets off the daring harmonic progressions that so dismayed Bach's congregation, as well as the surging emotion.
