Cotter, the first speaker, recalled Washington's Farewell Address and the importance it placed upon enlightened public opinion. Said Cotter, "Public opinion must be strong and forceful enough so that when the time comes it may ward off suppression. To do that it must be thorough." And again, "En­ lightened public opinion ... is the thought of the nation based upon Reli­ gion and Morals, educated in the Na­ tural Law, the natural rights of man, the relations of God, man and the state; thought which understands the meaning of liberty and is tolerant of other thought. . . ." He concluded by stressing the significance of public opinion at the present time, when faced "with the prob­ lem of possible war."

That ought to be endorsement enough for those who require it. Second, some facts about the orchestra are interesting. (All these are found in The International Cyclopedia, of Music and Musicians, edited by the New York Sun's music critic, Oscar Thompson.)
