you can hear the difference

I came into the library and noticed something that wasn't there the day before. A solid gold violin in a display case. Each year the Violin' d'or will be awarded to an outstanding violinist. You know your institution is well funded when golden violins mysteriously appear in your library...

I don't mean to highlight differences between the U of M and McGill but damn! I'd have been impressed if a half decent computer appeared at the U of M school of music.
