BLANQUIETA HOGUE Editor - in - Chief Since the beginning of the human race, music has been one of man's highest inspirations. The vibrations of deathless music have been like a sky-born voice csllinq him from his workaday tasks to the sublime experiences of the soul. Music, the highest of the fine arts, performs a great ministry to the welfare of mankind. Its power is felt in every phase of life. One man with a dream, at pleasure. Shall go forth and conquer a crown; And three with a new song's measure Can trample an empire down. Because of the joy, beauty, and power expressed in this universal language through its influence upon the world in general and upon our Milby world in particular, we dedicate this volume of tl.e Buffalo to. . .
