This image depicts a newspaper clipping from the Greensboro Daily News. At the top of the clipping, "Music and musicians N Greensboro Daily News May 10, 1953" is written in pencil. The clipping is of the article "Opera Institute Planned At Boone This Summer" by Julian Scheer. Scheer begins by discussing the efforts by Norman Cordon to bring an opera program to the Appalachian Teachers College. There is an explanation of the origins of the program and also details on its run over the summer. The last section of the article is about Cordon's upbringing and what influenced him to become involved in opera. There is a list of his education and experience, along with a few operas in which Cordon had acted. The first accompanying image is of the fine arts building at the Appalachian Teachers College. There are a few cars parked in front of the building and a short description that states that it will be the site of the opera institute. The second image is of Norman Cordon from his profile. The third picture is of Walter Golde, the teacher for the opera institute.
