...called an "Opera Number," so many of the pages are taken up with a discussion of that form of musical entertainment Mr. Moderwell questions its nobility but acknowledges its fascination. His article touches on the economic, dramatic, and literary sides of opera as well as the musical. We think he has gone astray in his economics, but his observations on the other aspects of opera are sometimes discriminating, often pertinent, and for the most part unusual.

Certainly many of us have not stopped to see our own attitude. We are simply conscious that things have changed, and we assume that they have changed...
...reap no more than it sows. The old attitude which President Quincy assumed to be permanent did provoke much solid and healthy reading of literature that is intrinsically good, which many of us escape in these days of reference. It is worth while to look at Gore Hall and think about President Quincy, for it may remind us that tomorrow our own educational ideas will be weighed and found wanting...
