THE. COLLEGE NEWS A, a Page $3 Mr. Alwyne Plays With Simfonietta (From. the Evening Bulleting A large’ and “attentive audience, which quite filled the ballroom of the ‘Bellevue-Stratford, last night heard the Philadelphia Chamber String Sim- fonietta,. under the direction of Fabien Sevitzky, in the second concert of its fifth season. Horace Alwyne, pianist, was the soloist. The Simfonietta, an © organization that has by this time become an insti- tution in musical affairs, and. whose | work is always musicianly and precise, presented a program of the works of Bach and two other composers in the traditional Simfonietta manner. Mr. Sevitzky elected to begin the evening’s.. activities with the colossal Brandenburg (incorrectly spelled “Brandenberg” in the program notes) Concerto Number 3 in G: Major, which consists of but two allegro movements, both replete .with all the typical. Bach intricacies of contrapuntal: nature, the mere mathematics of which require nice musicianship.._The prodigatease | with which singularly rich themes were tossed about between the “solo” in- struments, three violins, three violas and an equal number of violoncellos, was a pgsitive delighf to the Bach en- thusiast, and Mr. Sevitzky. elicited in- terpretative nuances from the ensemble that divested the score of the usual frightened stiltédness many musicians read into Bach works. From the concerto the Simfonietta passed to Bach’s “Seven Partitas,” which were listed as six in the pro- gram notes. ‘“Fhe-work, arranged ‘from the original by Mr. Sevitzky, has for its “grave’’ movement a chorale. The —five—movements—following,—in various } tempi, are variations upon this, the whole terminating in a magnificent re- statement of the chorale. Following. this Mr. Alwyne played, supported by the Simfonietta, the great Bach Concerto in D Minor. The solo- tst is a, superb technician, cool and unhurried. Moreover; he is a consum- mate Bach player, having all the Bach phrases literally at his fingers’ ends. The applause accorded him amounted to an ovation. After the intermission, according to the custom’ of the organization, the program. took a modern tone, present- ing the rather melodious and extremely interesting “Partita Nunmrber?1” of’ An- tonio Veretti, a work’ in- five move- ments, and the slightly unpleasant “Suite,” which used’ the names of an- cient dance forms, for its four move- ments, and in which Mr. Alwyne had many brilliant solo passages for the |: piano. Applause was so vociferous that Mr. Seyitzky, asking whether the audience would like an encore, and receiving the usual response, played the short and melodious “Berceuse” and “Danse” of Anatole: Laidow. Morality Defined as Attitude Toward Life Continued from Page One one great repetition. America is the land of opportunity only for those who get the opportunity. Despite the large crime wave, thost of these average people do not run amuck, and it is largely because of such evan- gelistis as Aimee Semple McPherson. She has a much greater following than shas any intelligent person, and what she says does something to save a society anything but healthy, She tells them that they are ‘‘not poor, but the richest’ pedfle on earth,” that “you're the only people worth anything, you will be saved when others are swept to a bottomless hell.” These people believe because they want to believe, want to feel that their lives mean somehing, and they chant with a curious vigor, “I belong to the Lord.” Their church is an opiate. ‘They. swear they will live proper, pious, good lives, according to a tradi- tional ‘morality which, provides them --with_crutches__so_that..they.need—not ‘walk on all fours. ‘There is no rela- tivity in the average man’s judgment of ‘moral matters;, he has one moral standard, ‘so: that “wheéii “it breaks.at all, he runs amuck. This inability~to discriminate is a cause of much of the evils of society today. | eee sid A very small minority does manage to discriminate, and. is the more ex- traordinary because it is very young. Moreover, this “civilized minority” is not so small now, and its influence is Z spreading. Nowadays conventions; sometimes of a magical importance, wh dy 7 " Calendar Thursday, January 22—Vacation.

Experi- ence has taught man certain ideas, from which he has evolved certain moral méaxims. By “respecting our neighbor's rights, each can, live more comfortable. Heaven and hell are found on earth, and to have ‘heayen, each must live according to these standards. Admittedly, we need a new morality based not on-guesswork but on care- ful study, and catalogued into general laws. We are beginning to do it now, not depending on the. intuition ,of genius, but on the careful, labored study of scientists.- ‘I am inclined to medicine’ man, heaven or hell. believe,’ concluded Mr. Browne, ‘that it will be very like the old, because what can be obtajned in a few- years : will not be very different from what man, in. thousands of years, has stumbled: upon, but many limitafions will’ be swept away.

Actually,” for the intelligent minority, there is no real reason to try to live according to cer- tain rules; life-is so meaningless. Whereas. man was once regarded as a climatic achievement, we now realize he—is~notat—all-important, but closely related to animals, even psychologi- eally.: Even the earth is reduced to. a contemptible crumb of matter.
