Mdzart's Overture to "The Marriage of Figaro" opens this evening's concert by the Boston Symphony in Sanders Theatre. Following this delightful work is the Brahms Concerto for Pianoforte No. 2 in B flat with Artur Schnabel as soloist. As an artist, Mr. Schnabel is always the servant of the spirit of the music as well as the absolute master of its performance--a eulogy which cannot be applied to many.

Those of us who are devoting all of our time and attention to the problem of training public servants of the highest standards for America's government and semi-public problems, are convinced more and more as time rolls on of the utter lack of wisdom in any effort to "train" for public service, as such, in undergraduate years at college.
