chaeologist Relates Ancient Mystery
Lecture on Eleusinian Temple Ruins
New Finney Composition To Be Given
Trump Stresses Flexibility
For Educational Program
By MILDA GINGELL
T've spent over 30 years trying
discover the meaning of the
steries of Eleusis and I still
n't know their meaning," Prof.
orge Mylonas, president of the
chaeological Institute of Amer-
said in a lecture on "Eleusis,
Sanctuary and Cemetery," yes-
day.
'Many centuries before Christ,
eusis was a small village and be-
ne an important religious cen-
of the pagan world," Prof. My-
Zas explained.
Goddess Demeter Comes
Demeter, the ancient goddess
agriculture, came to Eleusis
king her daughter from the
ver world. She ordered the
ople of this village to build her
temple and to worship her when
r daughter had been raised out
the lower world," he continued.
"The cult of Demeter formed
d hundreds of people came to
worship Demeter and the other
gods and goddesses. When the
multitudes grew too great in num-
ber for the old temples, they were
destroyed and new ones were
built. Eleusis became one of the.
most resplendent centers of the
pagan world," the archaeologist
added.t
Describes Cult Initiation
"There were two steps in the in-
itiation ceremony into the cult of
Demeter," Prof. Mylonas said,
"that of the lesser mysteries and
that of the greater mysteries."
"Along the road to Eleusis ar-
chaeologists have found various
shrines and temples where offer-
ings were placed. We have also
found triumphant arches which
we hope to rebuild," he empha-
sized.
Attracts Important Men
"To these temples, and initia-
tions came many important men
who always spoke highly of the
mysteries." Prof. Mylonas added,
"but everyone was told to keep the
mysteries in absolute secrecy and
they did, which seems phenom-
enal."
"Among the strange discoveries
in Eleusis, archaeologists have fi-
nally come upon the cemetery of
Eleusis in 1952.
The premiere of "String Quintet"
by Prof. Ross Lee Finney of the
music school, the University's com-
poser in residence, will take place
on Oct. 30 in Washfington, D. C.
The work, which will be played
by the Kroll Quartet and added
cellist in the Coolidge Memorial'
Auditorium of the Library of Con-
gress, was written last year when
Prof. Finner was in Oxford, Eng-
land.
The composition followed the
playing of Prof. Finney's "Fan-
tasy" by Yehudi Menuhin at the
World's Fair in Brussels. "Fan-
tasy" was commissioned by Menu-
hin as a solo work for violin to
be played at the International Ex-
position, and later, on tour.
Prof. Finney has been at the
University since 1948, when he
came as a visiting professor of
composition in the music school:
In 1949 he became Professor of
composition and composer in resi-
dence.
Interested in Chamber Works
His greatest creative interest is
in chamber music; he has com-
posed several works for the Uni-
versity's Stanley Quartet. Among
his compositions he lists seven
string quartets, four piano sona-
tas, a concerto for piano and
orchestra, and numerous orches-
tral and chamber music works.
Prof. Finney has been awarded
many prizes for his outstanding
compositions. He won the Pulitzer
Prize in 1937 for his first string
quartet; the Connecticut Valley
Prize for his setting of some of
Archibald MacLeish's poems in
1935; and two Guggenheim Fel-
lowships, one in 1937 and the other
in 1947.
Receives Awards
In 1955, he received the Boston
Symphony Award, and in 1956 two
awards from the Academy of Arts
and Letters.

"The cemetery we came tupon
was, used by the Eleusinians for
23 centuries," he said, adding that
"we have come upon graves that
date 'from the 15th century B.C. to
others from the 5th cenutry A.D.,
"In and around these graves we
have found vases, cups, and wrea-
pons, many of which have been
reconstructed and are now on dis-
play in museums including one at
Eleusis, Prof. Mylonas concluded.

At the opening session of a con-
ference on "New Schools for New
Education" yesterday, J. Lloyd
Trump stressed flexibility in build-
ing design and educational pro-
grams to better meet student
needs.
Trump discussed five areas in
which he urged architects, school
administrators, and educators to
allow more flexibility.
"Instead of organizing instruc-
tion in standard-size classes, we
should vary the size of the class
in accord with its purpose." More
of the student's time should be
spent in independent work instead
of in supervised study halls, and
smaller groups of 12 or 12 students
should be able to meet with teach-
ers.
Divide Curriculum
"The curriculum is now divided
into neat units meeting five days
a week. Content is selected to fit
into these packages." Trump sug-
gested dividing this curriculum in
"basic education" for everyone and
"content in depth" for superior
students. ,
The first should include liberal
arts, sciences, mathematics, and
social sciences. Superior students
could explore any of these fields
in depth.
He also opposed the standard
period. The length of a period
should vary with the size of the
class and its needs.
Large groups of students could

organize "a team approach" with
several teachers, and technological
aids should be more useful in
day-by-day instruction.
Individual study areas, class-
rooms of varied sizes, and teachers
all need space. However, Trump
pointed out, "Designing for these
new schools, we actually come out
with less space than is now used
in the conventional school. So
maybe we can save the taxpayer
some money!"
