10, 1959 THE MICHIGAN DAILY PAGI THE MICHIGAN DAILY PAEE Communism Rival Faith For Christianity-Boulding IN ENGLISH: Rare Book Collection EmphasizesLiterature Anna Russell, Valletti, Hord Set for Area Performances I Cs n _._. By CHARLAINE ACKERMAN "Marxism is a rival faith to Christianity, but peculiarly so be- cause of basic similarities, Prof. Kenneth Boulding of the econom- ics department asserted yesterday. Leading a discussion on "Chris- tian Perspectives on Communist Countries," Prof. Boulding termed Communism a faith in view of its "capability of organizing men's lives and societies on a very large scale." "Communism is essentially a Judaic faith, as are Christianity and Islam, and shares the same kitd of structure," he continued. "While the religions of the East try has increased considerably since the war, there exists a dicho- tomy between the Catholic intel- lectuals and the masses. "The intellectuals represent the progressive movement in Poland, while the masses remain conserva- tive," he said. "The Church in Hungary tends away from the political element," Peter Eros, '61E, stated. "Its main function is to keep the people's spirits up." Renewal of Church There was a general renewal and revitalization in the Church after World War II, Eros said, which (EDITOR'S NOTE: This is the con- cluding article in a series of articles on the Rare Book Room in the Gen- eral Library.) By PHILIP SHERMAN The collection of the Rare Book Room could be called an English professor's delight. Reflecting the interest of Isaac M. Demmon, a professor of Eng- lish and the first curator of the Rare Book Room, which was es- tablished in 1899, the largest col- itinerary Set For Tour By Gleee Club Arrangements are now under- way for the Michigan Men's Glee Club to take their annual spring tour. About 48 'raring to go' Michigan men, together with their director, Prof. Philip Duey of the School of Music, and an accompanist, will leave on a full seven day tour, Monday, March 30. Their itinerary will carry them to Buffalo and Binghamton in New York State, Town Hall in New York City, and then to Philadel- phia. From there, the group will continue on to Rochester, New York, Canton, Ohio, and will con- clude with a final concert in Cleveland, Ohio. 100th Anniversary "The Town Hall concert will be the high spot of the tour" Pete{ Patterson, '59E, publicity manager of the glee club remarked. There. is also added excitement as this; year marks the 100th anniversary of the Glee Club. The program in each city will be the same, Patterson added. It will open with the usual "Laudes Atque Carmine," and will continue with "Invocation to Orpheus," "The Omnipotence," "My Good Old Man," "Ilene," "Shadrack, Me Shack and Abednego," a med- ley of songs put together by Prof. Duey, the conductor, and other songs as well. Sponsored by Alumni The tour itself is sponsored by the Glee Club's Alumni Club, and the boys will stay in homes of alumni in every city except New York City, where they will stay in a hotel. Those University students who will be in New York City for spring vacation and would like to .ttend the Town Hall concert may purchase tickets for it at the Administration Building. lections are those of English auth- ors from Shakespeare to the Vic- torians. Imaginary Voyages The largest of the special col- lections is that of "Imaginary Voyages" donated to the Library by Lucius L. Hubbard, a former Regent of the University. Of the 2,500 volumes, approxi- mately half are of Defoe's "Rob- inson Crusoe." These include Eng- lish editions, translations into other languages and imitations, of which "Swiss Family Robinson" is the most famous. Individually, the volumes are not of great value, but together they constitute an important col- lection. Lately there has been an in- creased demand for the "Imagin- ary Voyage" collection, probably tied to the new interest in space travel, itself an imaginary voyage only a few years ago, Miss Ella M. Hymans, Curator of Rare Books, said. Folio Editions Another important area is the Shakespeare Collection. It includes the second, third and fourth folios, which are large editions of the complete plays in addition to the eighteenth cen- tury version of the Bard's works. An interesting commentary on the value of books is provided by the fact that many of the folios in the Library's possession are worth about $700, and the first folio is worth $35,000. Other Dramatists In addition to Shakespeare, the Library has an extensive collection of other English dramatists. Important poets including Ten- nyson and Milton are represented. Twenty-four stage adaptations of the latter's "Comus" are in the collection. In addition to important Eng- lish works, many valuable medi- cal works are in the Library's pos- session. The rarest book in the medical collection is an edition of William Harvey's "De Motu Cor- dis" published in 1628. Harvey dis- covered circulation of the blood. Included in the collection are many incunabula, books published before 1500. Miss Hymans commented that the possession of these and other books have provided a substantial basis for the study of the history of medicine. History of Science A collection covering the history of science contains original edi- tions of such monumental books as Newton's "Principia" and the works of Copernicus, who reintro- duced the theory of the heliocen- tric universe to Western society. Hord To Sing Prof. Robert Hord, professor of piano in the School of Music, will be featured in a faculty recital at 8:30 p.m. tonight in Trueblood Auditorium. The recital is under the aus- pices of the School of Music. * * * Valletti To Perform Cesare Valletti, Italian lyric tenor, will perform in the ninth concert of the University's Chorale Union series at 8:30 p.m. tomorrow in Hill Auditorium. The concert will open with Han- del's "Where e're You Walk"; Scarlatti's "Le Violette"; Sarti's "Lungi da 1 Caro Bene"; and "Che Voule Innamorarsi" by Scarlatti. It will continue with "Nacht und a Lady Sweet and Kind" by Jobo; and "Feast of Lanterns" by Ban- gram. Russell To Sing Anna Russell, international con- cert comedienne, will appear at 8:20 p.m. Friday in the Scottish Rite Auditorium of the Masonic Temple in Detroit. She is famous for her spoofs on opera, opera singers, popular music, instrumentalists and seri- ous musicians and music in gen- eral. She made her opera start in the United States with the New York City Opera Company in 1954, where she played the part of the witch in "Hansel and Gretel." This was an easy role for the singer because she is able to sing soprano, mezzo-soprano, tenor and baritone, thus enabling her to master the great voice range of a witch.

FLORENCE BRIDAL and BEAUTY SHOP CESARE VALLETTI ... Italian tenor 'Til 9:00 P.M. Daily look at history as a cyclical pro- cess, Jude 's outlook is down a one-way street with a triumphal arch at the end. Marxism shares this orientation that things will go from bad to worse, ending in a triumphant revolution." Marxism's Defect Prof. Boulding cited Marxism's main defect as being its basic motivational drive of hatred and f envy. "Christianity's\ greatest vir- tue," he said, "rests in its hypo- crisy, in which one strives for pre- determined high ideals. Marxism, however, lacks this high view of human motivation." Presenting the Catholic perspec- tive on the Polish government, Zelzislaw NaJder discussed the Catholic representation in the government through government personnel and the press. "Catholics in Poland," he as- serted, "are not 'fake' Catholics like the Christian Democrats in Germany but are sincerely inspired by their religion. Their cultural contributions constitute a broad and important movement in the country." NaJder pointed out that although the intellectual level of the coun- lasted until the Communist Party took control of the government. Once in power, the Party wooed many church leaders and jailed others. "The government took advan- tage of the church for- its own purposes," he affirmed. "Not only did it educate the youth in the Communist tradition, but it also 'borrowed' and changed many church festivals." Eros also cited the lack of fric- tion between the Catholic and Protestant elements in Hungary, attributable to the need for unity when facing common difficulties. Traveled in India Traveling througn India, Luther Buchele, Inter-Cooperative Coun- cil executive secretary, discovered it to be a very "cooperative land." He cited the instances of co- operative farming in India, and also the proximity of the Com- munist nation of China. "India is suspicious of the West now because of our foreign aid policy," Buchele said. "Its neu- trality has the positive aspect of keeping the country uninvolved and within a democratic frame- work."
