Schemm George Hamilton Sherwood Upton Agnes Herwig Marie Wellstead Walter Yeagley TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 6, 1928 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- OASTED RQLL I ALFRED GREATL When America goes to the pollsj today To choose between Hoover and Smith, We hope they'll show enough good sense To explode the Republican myth.

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 -suavity, warmth and a kind of lingering quality in both touch and f FROG BRAND SLICKERS are guaranteed waterproof, made of light-weight material with plenty of room for your comfort. ,A genuine oiled slicker will keep you dry on rainy days.
