ON" GREEKROMAN IDEALS oF MUSIC Professor of Latin Cites Grecian Idea of Music as Connected With Other Arts, Life. SPEECH FINISHES SERIES Last Summer University Speaket Proffers Fragments From Early Musical Works. "Music was viewed by the Greeks as a powerful moral element which had for its aim the purest harmony of the soul and inspired men to perform noble and worthy deeds while music among the Romans was for entertainment and luxur- ious enjoyment," said Prof. Bruno Meinecke of the Greek and Latin department in an illustrated lec- ture on "Music Among the Greeks and Romans" delivered yesterday afternoon in the Natural Science auditorium. Euphony Reflected Culture "The Greek idea of music lead to an intimate connection between tonal art and the every day life of the Greeks," continued Professor Meinecke after .pointing out how the culture of the Greeks and Ro- mans was reflected in the euphony, flexibility and rhythm of their languages. The artistic sense of the Greeks was of a plastic char- acter. It was also of an objective nature and did not run into the fantastic. This idea is traceable in the prevalence of melodic outline and terse rhythm. "Poems among the Greeks were written to be sung," said Professor Meinecke. But whereas among the Israelites music and poetry served tod establish a relationship with Jehovah, among the Greeks re- ligion developed from their art. It is therefore truly said that the great poets of Greece created the fods of the Greeks. Had Restricted Field "It is true that Greek music had on the whole a restricted sphere of action, but it was none the less one of the most potent factors in the whole history of music. Greek music influenced the whole of the Middle Ages and particularly the 16th and 17th centuries. The Greek mdes were directly responsible for the early Christian developments in the form of Ambrosian and Gregorien modes. Romans, it is generally conceded by scholars, had little influence on the development of the world's music. However, this is a field where more study might well be made." After showing a series of slides depicting the intimate connection of music with the other arts and every day life, Prof Meinecke con- cluded by explaining that the sources of our knowledge of ancient music were literary, epigraphic, and monumental. BOLSHEVISTS PLAN NANKING ATTACK National Government Fears Loss of Ancient Chinese Captiol. (By Associated Press) NANKING, Aug. 13.-Fears that Nanking, seat of the Nationalists government, would fall into the hands of Communists bands arose today with reports from the coun- tryside saying alleged Reds'in peas- ant garb and armed with rifles had appeared in large numbers 20 miles away. Nanking was virtually de- fenseless because few soldiers re- mained here. Lack of adequate defense forces here resulted in uneasiness, as it was believed the city would be easy prey for the Reds if they attacked. The presence of Communists was reported in several near-by towns. HANKOW, Aug. 13. - Hankow took on the appearance of a be- leaguered city today as authorities tightened up their defense against the threatened Communistic at- tack. Unverified but persistent reports said the Reds had re-entered Changsha, wealthy capital of Hu- nan nrovince. which recently was Nominated to Hughes' World Court Position, Repertory Group Gives Pleasing Presentation of Dumas' Drama Gives Hint of Support for Brucker Campaign Comments by William J.

NURSES LEAD ON LIST Figures showing 136 persons to have been registered in the special public health institutes held on the campus each week-end-during the summer term were released from the Summer Session office here to- day. Five individuals attending the institutes received public health certificates, it is shown. Public health nurses were present in greatest numbers, the report shows. Sixty-three individuals of this group attended meetings. The next most numerous were school nurses, 19 having registered. By far the greatest number of those attending came from Detroit, the survey indicates. Of the 136, a total of 69 came from that city. Ann Arbor was represented by six, while Saginaw had 10, and thereby earned second place. Illinois, In- diana, Ohio, Misouri, and North Carolina were represented. Wom-. en constituted the majority of the audiences of the institutes, there being 128 of them as compared to 8 men. Five Mayoral Petitions Circulated in Detroit (By Associated Press) DETROIT, Aug. 13.-Petitions of five probable candidates for the mayoralty at the special election Sept. 9 were in circulation today. All candidacies are in addition to that of Mayor Charles Bowles, who automatically became a candidate as the result of the election three weeks ago at which he was recall- ed from office by a majority of 31,000 votes. George Engel, former commis- sioner of civil service, who was re- fused reappointment by Mayor Bowles when his term expired last spring, was the first to anounce his candidacy. Others for whom p.etitions are in circulation are Harold Emmons, one-time police commissioner, City Clerk Richard W. Reading, former Mayor John W. Smith and Judge Frank Murphy of recorder's court. Administration forces are said to be heartened by indications of a multiplicity of candidates at the election three weeks hence, in the belief that the mayor's supporters will not be easily divided.

LOUIS, Aug. 13.-The world's longest sustained flight's pilots, Dale Jackson and Forrest O'Brine tonight rode the air above Lambert, St. Louis, field in a cabin mono- plane, "Greater St. Louis," as cham- pions once more. After breaking the world's refuel- ing endurance flight record at 9:42 a.m., these two veteran sky dwellers nosed their craft toward a goal of 1,000 hours in the air, at 4:11 p.m. Jackson and O'Brine had been aloft 561 hours and had surpassed by al- most 8 hours the record of 553 hours and 40 minutes set in Chica- go last month by the flying Hunter brothers of Sparta, Ill. Congratulations Pour In Soon after word had .been spread that "Red" and "Obie" had recap- tured the record, congratulatory telegrams began to pour in. A small crowd cheered lustily, standing in a dragging line to watch the "Greater St. Louis" sweep gracefully over the field above their heads. The downpour recalled the evening of July 31 last y e a r when Jackson and O'Brine ! landed at the same field after 400 hours in the air. Jackson and O'Brine, talking ov- er a short-wave transmitter from the plane, broadcasted greetings to the crowd. Flyers Send Message "Too bad the folks down there got wet.

The flyers said they did not know when they would come down, "May- be tomorrow, next month, or next year," adding that they might "stay up until next August." 1I l I i Ueb er anU we en, The House as been that the last gen- themselves to through the isley stated. s and Dr. Os- University of were also uet.

LIBRARY OF FE RS SPECIALEXHIBIT Showing of Juvenile Classics Is Made by Extension Service. Students, faculty members and townspeople have been invited to view an exhibition of juvenile classics at the Library Extension service, room 312, in the general library. Those interested may see the books every day between 8:30 in the morning and 6:30 at night, except on Saturday afternoons and Sundays, from August 14 to Aug- ust 20. These books range from nursery rhymes for pre-school aged chil- dren to books suitable for high school students, such as "David Copperfield" and "Lorna Doone." Each edition was chosen for its particular distinction and beauty in make-up and illustration. The collection was loaned by the Chil- dren's fund of Michigan, and is part of the Book Exhibit project being carried on under the auspices of the committee on children's reading of the Michigan Congress of Parents and Teachers.
