Nevertheless, Dr. Beutner. massive as a 'Wagner- ian Hero and gifted with a rollicking sense of humor, pushed the instruction. Dr. Blessey. lover of line music, cautioned us not to play Chopin be- fore studying Prescription lYriting. Drs. Pratt. Calesnick and Christensen developed our methods in the laboratory.
