Night Editor-CHARLES S. MONROE
is the fact that an instructor who
"handshakes" his way through the
University will get all the favorable
notices under the new scheme; but
if Professor VanTyne was closer to
the student body he would realize
how futile it is for any instructor to
attempt to "Get by" by handshak-
ing and kindred activities. No
audience in the world is more criti-
cal and more keen to detect a flaw
than a group of college students,
and the "Big Bill Thompsons" of
the Michigan faculty will be short-
lived indeed if it is up to the stu-
dent body to aid in weeding them
out.
The third objection which Prof-
essor VanTyne levies against the
plan is that men engaged in re-
search have no time to make friend-
ly contacts with students, and with
this point everyone will agree. If
Professor VanTyne had been more
familiar with the plan before he
criticised it he would have realized
that there is not the slightest in-
tention of discrediting the work of
a University instructor because he
is completely "wrapped up" in re-
search. The question, however,
arises as to whether this man with
a dominant outside interest is as
valuable in the classroom as a man
whose main interest is the students
themselves. To put the question
more directly:
"IS A MAN WHOSE INTERESTS
LIE OUTSIDE OF THE REALM OF
STUDENT AFFAIRS AS VALUABLE
AN INSTRUCTOR AS A MAN WHO,
WHILE WELL-VERSED ON HIS
SUBJECT, STILL RETAINS A
LIVELY INTEREST IN THE PER-
SONALITIES OF THE STUDENTS
HE TEACHES?"T
To say that the University does
not prize its scholars is of course
foolish, and even beyond the scope
of student imagination. But to say
that such a man belongs in the un-
dergraduate class-room is very
questionable, and a point which
Professor VanTyne does not ade-
quately sustain in his recent criti-
cism.
It is regrettable, finally, that Pro-
fessor VanTyne did not acquaint
himself more thoroughly with the
proposal before attacking it; for
certainly the student committee
would have been glad to confer
with him and to have obtained his
views at any time. It should be fur-
ther borne in mind that even
though the students chosen to make
the survey k should err, the errors
would not be likely to result in dis-

Q U
HARTMANN-SCIONTI CONCERT
Tonight in Mimes theater, Mat-
inee Musical open their series of
programs of chamber music with
the appearance of the Arthur Hart-
mann String Quartet and Silvio
Scionti, pianist.
The Hartmann group is firmly
established in its reputation in
spite of its youth as an organization.
It was established for the musical
season of 1925-26 and according to
the critics at the Manhattan debut,
the fidelity with which the pro-
gram was handled, placed the then
new Quartet in the heart of the
best chamber music tradition. Un-
doubtedly, credit for this success
goes to Mr. Hartmann, for the care
with which he has chosen the mu-
sicians to make up body. They are
Walter Edelstein, playing second
violin to Arthur Hartmann, Mitya
Stillman, viola, and Naoum Ben-
ditzky with the violincello.
Mr. Hartmann's own musical car-
eer is also the history of his life.
He began it in Philadelphia as a
child prodigy and when he had
reached the age of 12 he had played
through the entire repertoire for
the violin, both here and abroad.
While he was in Paris he played
concertos by both Saint-Saens and
Godard, with those two composers
accompanying him; a Beethoven
concerto he played with Hans Rich-
ter, and with Debussy he appeared
in a number of recitals in Paris.
When he was 20, Hartmann organ-
ized his own string quartet in Ber-
lin. This venture met with con-
siderable critical approval, but en-
semble playing was soon given up
in favor of solo work and composi-
tion. His original creations, as wel
as his Work in transcription, is
widely known both here and abroad
Over a hundred of his works are
published in this country alone
and they are played and recorded
by Heifetz, Kreisler, Elman, Renee
Chemet and other violinists.
Walter Edelstein, whom Mr.
Hartmann has chosen to support
him in the violin department, is a
graduate of the Damrosch Institute
of Musical Art in New York. He
was a pupil of the late Franz
Kneisel from whom he received a
thorough.training in the standard
chamber of music literature. "A
period of study at the Fontainebleu
Conservatoire in France brought
him further honors, and then he
gave a series of concerts in Europe
which culminated in a highly suc-
cessful concert at Aellian Hall for
his American debut.
Mitya Stillman graduated from
the Conservatory at Kiev, Russia,
and was concert master of the Kiev
Symphony Orchestra for four years.
He was also a member of the Kiev
String Quartet for five, and when,
in 1921, he came to this country he
distinguished himself by winning
first prize in Detroit for his String
Quartet.
Naoum Beditzky is also Russian-
born in the Ukrain. He began his
musical education on the 'cello at
the ripe age of seven, and the
maturity of 16 brought him the
position as chief 'cellist with one
of the leading Russian symphony
orchestras. A further period of
study in Paris with the Russian
master, Joseph Press, prepared him
for a concert tour through the Or-
ient and Central Europe, and led
to his affiliation in this country
with various chamber music or-
ganizations until he accepted Mr.
Hartmann's proposal.
The guest pianist was previously
announced to be Leo Ornstein, but
illness making his appearance im-
possible, Matinee Musical has man-
aged to secure the services of Silvio
Scionti to balance the program.
Scionti has been accorded place
by prominent Chicago critics-he
hails from that town, though or-
iginally from Sicily-as a "virtuoso"
and a "poet;" the combination of
these two qualities is as captivat-
ing as it is exceptional. He is a
thorough musician and one who
combines originality with beauty of
interpretation. Whatever the school,
Beethoven, Chopin, Brahms or De-
bussy, the rich versatility of an ex-
ceptionally fine equipment makes
his interpretations authoritative as
well as brilliant.
Sicilian by birth, one does not
need to know his origin to discern
marked characteristics in his work

lingering quality in both touch and

Ten years ago, there were 218 miles of air mail routes with
