Great Books the Core In the public's eye, the General Pro­ gram and Great Books movement are one and the same. The association is un­ derstandable when it is remembered that Chicago's Mortimer Adler and Notre Dame's Father John Cavanaugh have been guiding lights in both fields. But there is a difference, as both edu­ cators wall be quick to point out.

That this course of studies is not of­ fered in survey form follows from the general idea of education upon which both are based.

We muse now how Old Lyons used to realli"- rock with rhythm every night long about 12 that year. It was in April of that year that Bill and I decided something should be done with the songs we had. A musical comedy seemed like a good idea but the songs wouldn't have much relation to a story written after them. ... Or so it seemed for a while. Then, after looking over several suc­ cessful musical comedies we saw that the songs in most shows don't really have much intrinsic relation to the stovy. So We decided we could write a show and include the songs, but the book would have to be made very elastic to accom­ plish this. About a month went by with no progress. Ideas for such a show just did not occur to either of us—^until one night early in May, 1949.
