Abstract

A note from Howard Nemerov to the music faculty was included in these minutes: At 1330 hours, this date, in company with Miss Lucienne Davidson (who will confirm my statement), I observed a large, white, circular cloud, shaped (allowing for perspective) something like a spiritualized and attenuated doughnut, with far more hole than rim, poised exactly, though at a cockeyed slant, over Jennings Hall. 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.
