Feild's dismissal symbolizes the stagnation of a once progressive arm of the University. From the outset student opinion has been nearly unanimous in his support. Eighty per cent of the undergraduate concentrators in Fine Arts petitioned the Administration to reinstate him.

So, perhaps, does the self-effacing devotion to music that makes St. Olaf's lusty youngsters hang on his every word and glance.
