Since copying the link produced a very strange-looking result, here's the text: <br />Hull Previews Violin Recital<br />Professor Robert Hull of the Cornell Music Department was the guest speaker at the Browsing Library’s reading hour last night, discussed the programs to be given in Bailey Hall Tuesday by violinst Erica Morini. At the outset, Professor Hull stated frankly that he did not like the program.
