Meeting Toda
A.S.M.E. Student Branch
To Discuss Membership,
Dues, And Organization
The student branch of the Amer-
ican Society of Mechanical Engineers
will open the year's activities with an
informal social meeting in the form
of a smoker at 7:30 p. m. today in
the Union, Frederick S. Kohl, '34E,
president, announced.
The purpose of the meeting will
be to discuss memberships, dues, and
'rganization, in addition to formulat-
ing plans and programs for the com-
ing year. New members interested in
mechanical, economical, and indus-
trial phases of engineering are wel-
comed, Kohl said. Students need not
be enrolled in the Engineering Col-
lege.
Through regular bi-monthly meet-
ings, the student group hopes to pro-
vide a means of contact between the
local society and the parent A.S.M.E.
Functions will not be limited to tech-
nical discussion, Kohl explained, but
will be devoted to topics of interest
in the field of mechanical engineer-
ing.
We must get back to the truth that
education is not training nor is it
propaganda. -Dr. Robert E.. Vinson,
president Western Reserve University.
Lily Pons Made
By E. JEROME PETTIT covered i
Lily Pons, the diminutive opera wounded
star who is recognized everywhere as Paris, one
the world's leading coloratura so- her progr
prano, will be heard for the second hrpor
time in Ann Arbor when she appears tened pa
Monday, Jan. 29, in Hill Auditorium compositi
in the 1933-34 Choral Union Series. and then
She made her Festival debut in Ann Gradually
Arbor two seasons ago, a few months portance
after her debut at the Metropolitan When
Opera House. In order to come to she took]
Ann Arbor on that occasion, she can- a distingui
celled her return trip to South Amer- was ama
ica, where a series of 20 operatic en- never be
gagements awaited her at $4,000 each. serious,a
She was born of French and Ital- mind, ss
ian parentage in the French Riviera strictness
city of Cannes. Graduating from the severe cri
Paris Conservatory as a pianist at-an
early age, it never occurred to her
or to her teachers that she had a E
voice of exceptional worth. She dis-
t by accident. Playing for
soldiers in the hospitals of
e day she included a song in
am. After that the men lis-
tiently to her playing of
ons by Bach and Debussy
n would call for a song.
y she came to realize the im-
of her singing.
she was 21 years of age
her first singing lesson from
uished Parisian maestro, who
zed to learn that she had
fore studied voice. Young,
and possessing a brilliant
he studied with military
and became her own most
tic. In three years she made
ther operatic debut in Alsace in the
role of "Lakme."
Other engagements followed
throughout the cities of France with
the exception of Paris. While singing
in the University town of Montpelier,
news of her artistic triumph was
cabled to Mr. Gatti Casazza, of the
Metropolitan Opera House, and with-
in a few weeks she was on her way
to America for an audition. She re-
mained just one week, during which
time she was engaged by that or-
ganization for opera appearances and
by the Metropolitan Musical Bureau
for such concert appearances as she
might care to make.
The following year, Jan. 3, 1931, she
made her Metropolitan House debut
singing the role of "Lucia di Lammer-
moor." It was the first time in her
life that she had appeared in a major
opera house. Instantly she was the
success of the musical season. At the
conclusion of the "Mad Scene," she
received one of the greatest ovations
ever tendered a Metropolitan prima
donna. Her future performances were
in keeping with this outstanding in-
troduction. and since then she has
been recognized the world over as the
greatest in her particular field. Nego-
tiations were at once undertaken by
the Ann Arbor May Festival author-
ities, with the result that she was
heard in the Festival of 1931.
