...Preger, receiving their first performance anywhere, showed that Preger's style is stark, powerful, and extremely difficult. The Harvard Glee Club's performance was excellent, bringing out the drama of the music without sacrificing good tone in the process. The Smith chorus gave an equally fine performance of Richard Winslow's Huswifery. This piece was more singable and less dissonant than the Preger, but was still a forceful work, with a wonderful melismatic climax on the words "Thee Glorify...

In Ground Swell, Edward Hopper caught every yachtsman's thrill at passing the last buoy and heading seaward in a light breeze...

Mann, who died less than two years ago, at 82, is generally ranked with Winslow Homer as a painter of the nation's land and seascapes...
