and Germany as a cultural and
intellectual center.
Michigan is one of the universi-
ties in the country which has en-
couraged the matriculation of for-
eign students. Nearly every course
in the University has several stud-
ents from foreign countries enroll-
ed. For the most part they come to
the university to obtain credit, and
not merely to receive a cultural
background. They are here to learn
the tricks of mass production, ad-
vanced commercialism, and the
various complexities of trade and
industry through which the United
States is said to have taken the
world leadership.
Michigan and other American
universities, through the tutelage
of these students who will become
leaders in their countries, are play-
ing an important part in the trend
of human affairs, the effect of
which would be hard to determine
at this time. However, the fact that
our educational institutions are
faced with a new and ever-increas-
ing demand must not be over-
looked. The full significance of the
responsibility must always be kept
in mind. That the results will be
far-reaching can not be doubted.

my respect for him as a practical

for either his intelligence or my

there are only something like fifty-

This Newberry Auditorium

started to paint the thing.
Hereafter, every true b I u e
Michigan Man, Woman or Pro-
fessor will, if they have any
decency at all, wet their fingers
and rub out as much of the
dirt on the walls as is possible
before class starts. When they
see us wearing our fingers to
the bone for old Michigan (not
to mention threatening the
destruction of the building by
removing its supporting en-
crustation of d i r t) maybe
they'll sic the B & G Boys on

PRIZE AWARD!!
The Weekly Rolls Award issued
by the Anti Coed campaign fund
has been given this week to the
gent who whizzed into Angell hall
yesterday just in time to complete
the havoc that a young and gay
coed had wrought upon what might
have been a fair looking nose when
not hidden by a cascade of oat-
meal or whatever it is that coeds
use on their noses. I don't believe
I have ever seen a prettier stroke
than the one he executed with that
unwieldy door. It's timing like that
that distinguishes the 'Top-Notch-
ers' from other notchers-and I'll
shoot the first hound that says it's
notch so!
It has been suggested to me
that I go out and ring doorbells
on the night set aside for this
purpose, but, in this age of
sophistication, Hallo ween know
when the time comes? Don't
shoot boys, I don't like it either,
but we can't all be funny.
Dear Dan:
Much obliged for the space. In
trying times like these, color, race,
and creed should be forgotten for
the good of the cause. Are we Mice
or are we Men?
The coed, like the old Saloon,
must go. I stepped into a flock of
the Vermin over at the Union to-
day, while putting the nod on this
paper, and, with all its faults, you
never saw an old Saloon wandering
around The Union's sacred corri-
dors. Did you now? (No, but if
wishes were horses I would have .. .
D. B.) All of which, as Sex Guinan
would say, proves something. With
your space and My brains, quien
sabe?
Frank.

SIC AND DRA
MI;DRMA
CHORAL UNION CONCERT
A Review by William J. Gorman.
Last nights Choral Union con-
cert achieved some sort of record
-in being unbelievably unmusical.
Mr. Lion gasped his way through
a Bach Polonaise and Badinerie.
Mr. de Bourguignon's sloppy pas-
sage-work in the Saint-Saens Al-
legro and his wild thumping in the
Ride of the Valkyries suggested the
pianist at the old Arcade.
Then there was Madame Clair-
bert. One admired her stage man-
ner. Her informality was very
pleasant; especially in the light of
the Ponselle fluffiness and prima-!
donnaism. Unfortunately, however,
her approach to the music seemed
to parallel this leaning on the
piano. She pushed herself off the
piano into the music and continued
to be indifferent. Madame Clair-
bert betrayed no particular interest
in herself as an artist (that is, as a
sensitive woman), in her voice as
an expressive instrument, or in the
music as anything but a mildly
tantalising task. There really was
no respect for her profession, no
awareness of the problems in pro-
jecting a song. Madame Clairbert
seemed thoroughly satisfied with}
the communication of a shallow,
slightly coy, thoroughly unmusi-
cal temperament.
This was particularly disappoint-
ing after the very promising dis-
play of technique in the first vir-
tuoso piece. Madame Clairbert,
there, was an agile coloratura with
an adequately elegant delivery. The
program absolutely failed to make
any significant use of this techni-
que.
Two of the numbers in the first
group were inconsequential. Ex-
cept in the coloratura passages, she
was clearly incapable of singing
Mozart correctly. She didn't have
the intelligence to grasp Mozart's
ordered, intricate gracefulness. The
one aspect of technique (homo-
geneity of tone-quality in various
registers and intensities) necessary
to mozartean fluencyshenentirely
lacked.
Her coloratura in the second
group was only mildly interesting.
Galli-Curci in her prime rendered
coloratura passages as arabesque:
that is, in lovely form. Miss Clair-
bert hasn't the intellect or the in-
terest in the music for this. Her
coloratural is merely casual decor-
ation. And in spite of the rumours
of the success of her Violetta in
San Francisco, the final aria from
La Travietta proved undramatic.

idea is undoubtedly spreading in
this country for its value needs no,
proof.
Perhaps at this point a few hard'
headed demagogues will answer
that they are getting paid only for
the time they consume in the rou-
tine of formal class work, and that
what time remains to them they
would not desire to waste in idle
discourse with a group of under-
graduates. A certain amount of this
feeling is perhaps to be expected
and is quite excusable. However,
it has been found that the really
top notch, faculty men welcome
these opportunities to make a
frank acquaintance with the boys
whose customary attitude toward
their instructors is apt to be one
of bluffing.
In short the Student-Faculty
dinner idea is to be encouraged as
a tendency in the direction of tak-
ing some of the unthinking form-
alism out of the college routine,
and making the campus population
a congenial host of thinking indi-
viduals.

away from religion. It strikes me
that campus support of such lec-
tures would be more efficiently ex-
ploited if effort were concentrated
on one series. And again, many of
the convocations are ludicrously
incongruous. In particular I re-
call a lucid and authoritative ex-
position of world armament sand-
wiched between prayers and spirit-
ual anthems two years ago.
I don't think that the S. C. A.
can do anything about religious
inactivity more t h a n squirting
vinegar at the indifferent. After
all a person's religion is usually
the result of his background. Christ-
tian associations can achieve pro-
gress (in their eyes) by affecting
the environment of persons in the
formative period, but collegiate as-
sociations come a bit late for the
missionary work they attempt.
All of which leaves the S. C. A.
precisely nothing to do, which is
no news. I have heard of an in-
tention to convert Lane Hall into
a foreign students' dormitory. That
would fill the vacuum and still

STOKOWSKI'S BRAHMS
BRAHMS: Symphony No. 2 in D
major: played by Leopold Stokovv-
ski and the Philadelphia Symphony
Orchestra: Victor Musical Master-
piece Series No. 82,
Mr. Stokowski's superb orchestra
could be no better employed than
in Brahms. One could almost have
predicted this from the nature of
other of his performances. Victor
has now given us his performances
of symphonies one, two, and three.
One would then have almost
everlastingly stimulating music.
For there is a consistent air of
novelty about anything that Mr.
Stokowski does. His intelligence is
so provocative, his musicianship so
thorough, his orchestra so compe-
tent, his individuality so superbly
confident that one enjoys his work
even when there is disagreement.
Stokowski realizes all his inten-
tions perfectly. We delight in the
perfection and study the inten-
tions: the latter task being possible
only with records.
In interpretation of Brahms,
Stokowski refused to be swayed by
the cant about Brahms' "austerity
and coldness." His Brahms is in-
tensely emotional: thoroughly the
romanticist, though a thoughtful
one. Several people call his reading
of the First Symphony "russianiz-
ing." Stokowski, they say, gives the
emotions.of Brahms something like
the revival-meeting quality of those
of Tchaikovsky.
Actually, I think he is only in-
tensifying the existent in Brahms:
that is, discovering Brahms more
profoundly. S t o k o w s k i makes
Brahms less the austere musiclJ
thinker, more the impassioned ly-
ricist.
In doing so, it is quite possible
that he amplifies. There seem to
be too many enormous masses of
tone, too much gorgeous color. But
if these are exaggerations, Stokow-
ski adjusts them to one another
with an uncanny and convincing
feeling for proportion. His canvas
may be extended; but it is consist-
ent. The similarity of his reading
of the Brahms Second, issued by
