Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from College Addresses: Delivered to Pupils of the Royal College of Music
I can see him striding into the hall on the first morning of the College term, a carnation from Highnam in his buttonhole, a slip of paper on which a few notes were scribbled in his left hand, and his right hand free to grasp that of any boy or girl who greeted him in its enveloping grip. Sometimes the right hand was used to deliver to some unsuspecting youth that smack on the back which was his favourite token of recognition, and which has made many of us still associate a sharp pain between the shoulder-blades with the glow of the Director's presence.
