The piece critiques college life as a jumble of cynicism and decaying idealism. It argues agitated activity signals little real vitality, notes wasted energy on clubs and politics, and says many students study for degrees only to maintain social circles rather than genuine interest.

Professor Leon Theremin showcased music from ether at Carnegie Hall using a hand controlled radio like device.

Professor Theremin performs a light recital of Schubert Rimsky Korsakov and Scriabin at J Goldberg.
