Extract

Before beginning my paper this afternoon, permit me to express my humble appreciation of the honour you confer upon me by the invitation to thus address you. In the long history of your Association, the second oldest of all of the musicological societies in existence today, but three other Americans have thus confronted you. In 1895, Waldo Selden Pratt spoke on The Isolation of Music. Again, in 1912, Professor Albert Stanley of the University of Michigan read a paper on Graduate Work in Music in America. More recently, Professor Glen Haydon of the University of North Carolina addressed you, in 1945, on Music and Philosophy.
