EDUCATION EN MASSE-Unlike the ignorant masses of American intersections, this is an educated
mass of a Michigan intersection. Monday through Friday, at 10 and 11 a.m. they congregate in

' AFTER more than 20 years on
the music school faculty, Prof.
Louise E. Cuyler feels that "ev-
ery time I leave Michigan I'm
gladder to get back .
"This was my first job," she
continued, "and it looks like ii may
be my last. There's something
very warm and wonderful about
Michigan and I love it."
Prof. Cuyler was graduated
from Omaha Central High School
in Nebraska and then went to
Eastman School of Music in Roch-
ester, N.Y.
"I started as a violinist at East-
man, played in theater orchestras
in Rochester and for a year was
editor for a Rochester theater pro-
gram. I even found time to do ra-
dio work," she added.
She received her Bachelor's de-
gree at Eastman and her Mas-
ter's at the University. In 1948,
she received the degree of Doctor
of Philosophy in musicology from
the University of Rochester.
During her career at the Univer-
sity, she has taught almost all the-
ory and musicology courses at one
time or another.
sence to enlist in the American
Red Cross. As Club Director, she
scheduled programs at the Service
Clubs, and was stationed for the
duration of the war in New Cale-
donia.
She worked with special groups
in Fiji and the Hebrides Islands,
developing radio hook-ups between
islands, forming a quartet with
GIs and providing dinner music
for large parties.
She returned to the United
States in the summer of 1945 and
went to Eastman for further grad-
uate study, coming back to the
University for the 1946 Summer
Session.
In 1950, the University Press
published Prof. Cuyler's "Choralis
Constantinus, Book III" under a
Rackham grant. The book is a col-
lection of 16th century motets by
the Flemish composer Heinrich
Isaac.
Prof. Cuyler transcribed and ed-
ited the works, "because the sys-
tem of musical notation was so
different in all music before 1600.'
The following year, she received
a Rackham Travel grant for re-
search in Rome and Bern, as well
as a Mediterranean trip by freight-

be a little grim if you had no work
to do or if you don't find one or
two companions on board. Iwas
lucky and had both."
"I landed at Athens, saw some
friends and flew to Rome where I
did research at the Vatican Li-
brary. From there I went to Bern
for further research.
FULBRIGHT research grant
and lectureship in Belgium was
given to Prof. Cuyler in 1953. She
lived in Brussels and did research
at the Bibliotheque Royale. Her
lectures were given on American
music in Antwerp, Tournai, Brus-
sels and Luxembourg.
A highlight of her Fulbright
sabbatical was the University's aly- ' k "s"1"

Indoor Sports
Contest Set
(Continued from Page 3)
Keen's teams have finished in
the top three conference slots
twenty three times since the gen-
ial coach arrived here 21 years
ago. Three times Michigan has
carried off titles, the last one in
1953.
P ERHAPS the most memorable
of them all came back in 1938,
as the war clouds gathered over
Europe, and stories of Indiana and
Illinois wrestling prowess circu-
lated over the Northwestern Uni-
versity campus.
Keen's outsiders refused to read
the press clippings however, and
they proceeded to turn old Patten
Gym upside down as they racked
up 28 points to take the conference
title for the first time (the 1929
Wolverine title was not counted as
an official Big Ten meet).
Jim Spiecher, Harold Danner
and Don Nichols grabbed titles,
and joined the long list of Michi-
gan champions.
Many other champions will be
crowned Saturday, and Ann Ar-
borites are hoping that such men
as Bumpy Jones, Ron Gora, Jack
and Bert Wardrop, John Moule,
Pete Grey, Nick Weise, Frank
Adams, Andy Kaul and John
Haney, will grace the winners
circle. If past records have any-
thing to a, ybout it, there is a
good chance that most of them
will.
