Evolution is a great thing. The monkey who swings by his tail and throws cocoanuts evolves into the man who walks upright and gets hit by the cocoanut; the callow Freshman evolves into the potent, grave, and reverend Senior; an Intercolleiate Dance evolves into a riot, and even music itself has evolved from the soft tinkling of rude strings to the raucous squawk of the saxaphone.
To acquire a complete understanding of the history of music, one must know its earliest phases, the hollow wooden drum as well as the mighty organ, the tortoise-shell lyre of Apollo as well as the Banjo-uke. And today Professor Hill will speak on "Early Instrumental Music" in Music 3 at 12 o'clock in the Music Building.
