After an anthem sung by the Choral Society, Mrs. Wilma A. Kerby-Miller, Dean of Instruction, extended the greetings of the administration to the assembled student body, and especially to the 313 members of the Class of 1962, Radcliffe's largest freshman class ever.

Schumann's Frauenliebe und Leben and nine songs by Mozart sung with grace, liquid power and a rainbow of colorations that few singers can match. With a fine dramatic sense to match her voice, Soprano Seefried makes this one of the year's most appealing recorded song recitals...
