Is this significant? Clearly Schonbeck, or whoever is responsible, intended the cloud for a halo. Now a decent satisfaction in accomplishment is one thing, but pride, spiritual pride, quite another. It is earnestly suggested that any future haloes, nimbuses, or glories, be so placed in the heavens as to refer to the whole college, and not merely to the conservatory of music.Item Music Division Meeting Minutes(Bennington College, 1958-03-12) Brant, HenryItem Music Division Meeting Minutes(Bennington College, 1957-12-04) Boepple, PaulItem Music Division Meeting Minutes(Bennington College, 1959-11-25) Nowak, Lionel
