May Festival was born in 1894.!
The First Festival opened on a
Friday night with Ludwig von!
Beethoven's "Leonore" Overture'
No. 3 as the featured world.
Prof. Albert A. Stanley, a found-
ing father of the Festival, con-
ducted the concluding concert of'
a series of three on Saturday eve-
ning. This concert featured the
University Choral Union and Or-
chestra in a well-received perform-
ance of Guiseppi Verdi's "Re-
quiem."
University May Festival concerts
have come a long way since the
first Festival scheduled three con-
certs in 1894. This year, as in
past decades, a series of six con-
certs will be presented in four
days: one Thursday, one Friday,
two Saturday, two Sunday.
These Festival concerts are in-
tended as a climax to the Uni-
versity Musical Society activities
of the year. During the year, 26
regular concerts are presented, in
which a wide variety of musical
literature is provided.
The Society attempts to present
a balance between classic, roman-
tic and contemporary music. Con-
certs, focus attention: on selections
which remain as stock repertoire
of the musical world. They are
intended to provide an opportuni-
ty for listeners to hear the best
of the masters as well as choice
selections from the romantic school
and those of contemporary com-
posers.
The history of the Festival feat-
ures a listing of the world's lead-
ing musicians. Top-notch sym-
phony orchestras, operatic and'
concert stage soloists perform
yearly in the Hill Auditorium con-
certs. Through the years, the Fes-
tival has presented choral, oper-.
atic and symphonic works. Ameri-
can and world premieres have also
been featured.
University Musical Society, the
sponsoring organization, was form-
ed in 1879. Its major purpose
was to establish a tie with Uni-
versity music and that of the com-
munity. In its initial years it suc-
ceeded in providing a stimulous
for quality music. Then, in 1894,
the Society announced a new "An-
nual May Festival." Emil Mollen-
hauer and the Boston Festival Or-
chestra were listed as major at-
tractions.
The first annual Festival more
than succeeded. Advertised and
publicized nationally, the concert
series attracted music lovers\ from
all areas of the country. Special
railroad rates were intitiated and
committees were soon set up to
provide for publicity, transporta-
tion and housing. So successful
was the publicity campaign that
University Musical Society offi-
cials were at a loss as to how to
accommodate the sudden rush of
concert-goers.
People flocked to Ann Arbor.
After the concert series had con-
cluded, it was favorably reviewed
in the nation's press as a new in-
stitution of lasting value. In suc-
ceeding years, the Musical Society
expanded the annual series to four,
five, and
then six concerts. Each' dolf Petrak, New York City Opera
year, the series is more of a suc-
cess.
Featured artists for this year's
May Festival series include: Eu-
gene Ormandy and the Philadel-
phia Orchestra; Thor Johnson and
the University Choral Union; Mar-
guerite Hood and the Festival
Youth Chorus; Hilde Gueden,
Metropolitan Opera soprano; Lois
Marshall, Canadian concert so-
prano; Martha Lipton, Metropoli-
tan Opera contralto; Lois Marsh-
all, American mezzo-soprano; Ru-
tenor; Harold Haugoh, noted Anner-
ican concert tenor; Lawrence Win-
ters, New York Opera baritone;
Byron Janis, outstanding contem-
porary American pianist; Zino
Francescatti, world-renowned vio-
linist; Vitya Vronsky and Victor
Babin, distinguished duo-pianists;
Jane Hobson, American mezzo-so-
prano; Inge Borkh, renowned Ger-
man soprano; Erika von Wagner
Stiedry, nairrator-actor-singer; and
Lester McCoy, distinguished con-
ductor.

FRESH AIR CAMP-Off to Fresh Air Camp they go to give It a spring cleaning.
A WEEK'S WORK.

By DICK TAUB
It takes a lot of work to get a
summer camp in order.
At least that's what 40 fraterni-
ty and sorority pledges found on
their arrival at the University
In the School of Education, the Fresh Air Camp, yesterday, for
.owing seniors were chosen: the first day of the fourth annual
orgiana Davidson, Ruth Hay- University Help Week.

:y Deal, Robert M. Johns, George Yesterday, the first group of
Imes Minty, Jr., Forrest Steven- about 40 pledges visited the camp.
n, Kenneth Albett Strand, Wil- "This is the smallest number for
am. Weiderman and Hayden the entire week, because nobody
hite. seemed, to want to work on the
first day. Monday is always a bad
day anyway," Dick Riederer, '58,
publicity chairman for the event,
explained.,
The group met the bus in the
back of the Administration build-
ing about 1 p.m. where tags were
distributed with the workers'
names and the group to which
they were assigned.
Work On Boats
Upon arrival at the .Camp the
groups immediately set to work.
First assignment was removal of
benches from the boat house.
"I don't think we ought to stack
them," one pledge offered. "They
have to be taken down for the
painting later in the week."
"Oh, but that won't be till Fri-
day and I'm not comning back Fri-
day," someone answered.
Then began the boat scraping.
One girl tentatively applied a
scraper to the bottom of a boat,
but nothing happened. She pushed
a little harder and still nothing
happened. Finally, taking a deep
breath, she pushed with all her
might, and the paint began to
flake off.
Each group began work on a
boat, and soon there was a steady,
rhythmic din on the metal bot-
toms, as the brushers and scrapers
got the feel of the job.
Window Washing
One group of women, armed
with tin cans, rags, and ammonia
attacked the windows of the main
lodge. However, work was tem-
porarily halted as a nest of hor-
nets caused a delaying action.m
After a heroic rally by the men
with brooms and rolled newspap-
ers, the women returned to work.
No one was injured.
With groans about sore shoul-
ders, shudders at the dead hornets,
the insides of the windows were
washed.
Many of the employees of the
camp thought Ithat the " women
would not deign to wash win-
dows. They were surprised. The
only major complaint was that
the, outside was really the dirty
part, and that the windows hard-
ly looked cleaner. "It's so frus-
trating."
Refreshment Break
About 4 p.m. the group knocked
off for cokes and ice-cream. Then
to the buses and back to Ann Ar-
bor.
The Fresh Air camp is located.
near Pinckney, about 24 miles
north of Ann Arbor. Its 26 per-
manent buildings, painted green
and brown, overlook Patterson
Lake.
It is supported with funds from
University Tag Days, Michigras,
alumni donors, and community
welfare agencies for the benefit of
children from broken homes.
Joint Chairman of help week
are Mary Tower, '59, Sally Steke-
tee, '59, and Bert Getz, '59E.
