A friend, employed in the legal professions, posted this quote from an authoritative source: Subject: GETTING SERIOUS ABOUT EQUAL TEMPERAMENT "Apparently...... there are some knights-errant of equal temperament, who fight for a more careful carrying out of its principles. In May 1932 there appeared at Bow Street Police Court, London, Mr. Lennox Atkins, F.R.C.O., who, as honorary secretary of the 'Equal Temperament Committee', applied for a summons against the Associated Board of the Royal Academy and Royal College of Music, on the ground that they were not qualified to know whether music was being played in tune or not, and that, therefore, their certificates were valueless. The magistrate decided , mercifully, that this was not a matter for a criminal court." (Oxford Companion to Music).
