SINGERS WERE ARTISTS Dr. Ralph Vatglhan Williams gave his third Flexner lecture in Goodhart Hall, Thursday evening, November 11, Describing folk music as an “individ- ual flowering on a common stem,” he discussed the communal author- ship of folk song and its appeal for modern listeners. Before taking up any new topics, Dr. Williams clarified his remarks of the previous week on the origin of music, and explained that he was “riés on this difficult subject. Although refusing to trace the origin of music to excited speech, he described the. raw material of song as the independ- ent tones of the speaking voice merg- ing into definite sounds. The most important of the limita- tions naturally inherent in folk mu- sic, he then declared, is the fact that orignally it was never committed to’ writing, but handed down orally from. generation to generation. Alterations of written works are apt. to cause careless mistakes, but oral changes are likely to be improvements. Hence folk songs went through a process of evo- lution from generation to generation. And so we have the theory of com- munal authorship. The evolution of folk songs is a pro- cess not of disintegration and cor- ruption, but of growth and develop- ment. Art music is the work of an individual, composed in a compara- tively short period, committed to pa- per, and so fixed, Folk songs, on the other hand, are products of the race, and reflect feelings and tastes which are communal rather than personal. The idea of communal authorship is not a new one. The philologist Grimm _ remarked that: “Folk song composes itself.” Cecil Sharpe, how- ever, was the first to take a fully thought-out stand upon the subject. According to him, one man might in- vent a song by piecing together odd phrases, but the constant changes madé in the process of passing it on from one singer to another would transfer the authorship to the com- munity. Every ballad singer was an artist, free to change what he dis- liked. Although some had alterations made, by natural selection, only those changes would survive oral repetition, which made the tune more yital. This gradual oral improvement of folk song is similar to the evolution of a theme in the mind of a great com- poser. In Beethoven’s notebooks it is possible to. trace his themes from their inchoate beginnings to their final masterly form. But even the most individualisti¢ of composers must learn from his predecessors, and prof- it by their experience. Hence, in a sense, even art music shows communal authorship. Folk songs today have more than a mere antiquarian interest for music lovers. Having been recorded by col- lectors, they are no longer in a state of flux, and the exclusive property of the peasantry, but have become an in- tegral part of comp¥sed music. They are not dead, but in a new-_stage of development. Twenty years ago, the great folk song revival initiated in England by Cecil Sharpe gave to the public a wealth of new melody which aroused an immediate enthusiasm. For the many average people who are dissatisfied with banalities and yet do not care for classical music, the popu- larity of folk song ‘affords an oppor- tunity to bring music into the home again, as in Elizabethan times. Although’ it is natural for ‘men to ‘express themselves by music, English speaking. peoples, not realizing that culture must grow out of the soil in which it is planted, are inclined to stifle their own artistic impulses. America, for instance, has all the means for developing an interesting é COLLEGE CALENDAR Wednesday, November 9—Dr. Vaughan Williams on “Nation- alism in Music.” Saturday, November 12— Bryn Mawr Varsity vs. Swarth- more College in hockey, 10.00 A.

November 16-——- Dr, Vaughan Williams on “Na- tionalism in Music.” Clever Junior Skit Given at Banner Night Ceremony “Mr. King Comes to the Faculty,” the Junior skit on Banner Night, November 3, was presented before an unprecedentedly large and enthusias- tic audience. The inspiration of the drama was Mr. Samuel Arthur King’s diction class for the faculty, echoes of which may still be heard around the campus. - Cheers thundered as each member of the cast entered, Mr. King last of all but Miss G. G. King and Dr. Fenwick. When the roll was called, it was discovered that several of the class were absent, Miss. Park being prominent among those who “were taking a cut.”. During the Shakespeare readings which followed, rendered in an accent- ually accurate manner by each mem- xa of the east, there were sevéfal unealled-for remarks from the class at-large; one, a severe stricture pass- ed by Miss King on “the lust of the (lesh and the pride of, the eye;” an- other,-a colleague-quelling blast, from Dr, Weiss that “All men are mortal. Socrates is a man. Therefore Socra- \cs is mortal.” There was further sorrow in store for Mr. King when Dr. Fenwick insisted on reciting the (,ettysburg Address instead of the re- quired reading in Shakespeare. The most hilarious moment of the evening came when Mr. King demon- strated the witches’ speech from Mac- beth to Dr. Weiss, illustrating the “like a rat without a tail’ line by a graceful buck-and-wing step. The class came all too soon to an end when Mrs. Manning coughed and Mr. King announced that he would have lo leave if. the coughing continued. Immediately the class broke up to the sound of hacking coughs. After the encore, in response to frenzied clapping, the Gym was clear- ed’ of the “Odds,” to allow the pres- entation of a banner to the Freshman Class by their sisters, the Juniors. There were the usual songs expres- sive of good will, the handling of the banner, and then a new song from the “Freshmen, “Under Bryn. Mawr Arches.” We wish to. compliment the Class of ’36, both on its singing and its new song, which was less strong- ly-reminiscent- of something we had heard before than any of the other class songs. The unusual singing strength manifested by both Juniors and Freshmen was doubtless due to the initiative of the skit manager, Nancy Stevenson, in shifting ._Bal- ner Night from a week-end to a week-night; we would advocate that the change be made permanent that the success of this year may be re- peated.

Cricket Club Yellows Held Scoreless During 1st Quarter, But Rapidly Made 4 Goals GAME: WAS FAST Although.. Bryn Mawr went dewn to defeat before the Philadelphia Cricket Club Yellows by the score, 6-2, Varsity played the best game of the 1982 season. Throughout the game there was marked improvement, not only in the passwork, but also in smoothness and° unity. . Interest. in the individual playing, which has been characteristic of the Varsity for so long, was lost in-appreciation of the team’s work as a whole. The forwards played unusuaily well, getting two goals—a true feat when Elliott is defending the cage. The backfield far-surpassed— its -us- ual form and managed to-hold Kitty Wiener, the Yellows’ star center for- ward, to two goals. On the whole, Bryn Mawr offered a creditable de- fense to a far superior team, many of whose members were either on the All-Philadelphia team or the All- American. : Varsity started the game off well by holding the Yellows scoreless dur- ing the first quarter. Encouraged by ‘ the success of the backfield, the for- wards rushed the circle, and Reming- |jton, much to Elliott’s chagrin, man- aged to get the ball into the cage. The Yellows, however, soon settled down to business and made four goals in rapid succession. In the second half, the playing be- came more general, and, although the forward line seemed to lose a bit of its co-operation, the backs and goal put up such a defense that only twice did the ball get past them. Reming- ton made a beautiful goal after a long run up the field and hard pass by Stevenson. A last minute goal by C. Kendig brought the score up. to §-2,-and the fastest and most excit- ‘ing game of the, year had .ended. Stevenson at right wing played the speediest and steadiest game of the day. She-far oxytstripped her half, and her passes were quick and accur- ate. Remington’s hard shooting re- sulted in Varsity’s only goals and she more than compensated for her in- effectiveness in last week’s game. Longacre still uses her weak chop strokes in attempting goals, and rare- ly makes an effort to follow up her mistakes, but her main difficulty in Saturday’§ game was in hitting the ball. Collier’s offensive, as well.as her defensive, game deserves.much praise. Her stickwork is rapidly improving and her passes are hard and accurate. Kent, Van Vechten ‘and Bowditch were a formidable trio on the defense, while Jackson, especially in the sec- ond half, played better than ever be- fore. Several of the goals made by the Philadelphia team were the re- sults of interference with Jackson by members of the Varsity forward line.

Political Speakers Present Platforms 4Continued from Page One) Mr. Fowler Harper summed the Democratic point of view by the term _“liberalism:” a facility. of adapting old ideas to new problems and new types of problems. He argued the dis- advantages of the Republican party’s paternalistic attitude, its trend for standardization regarding social and cultural institutions, and its “laissez- faire” attitude toward capitalistic en- terprise. Mr. Harper advised a re- verse in these policies and questioned President Hoover’s intellectual hon- esty in handling the question of pro- hibition and in the character of the Republican campaign of. fear. Dr. Holmes, supporting the Social- ist platform, put aside personal is- sues to show the fundamental simi- larity of the Republicans and Demo- crats. The profit system based on ygcompetitive industry, he declared, has divided our population into the two conflicting classés of capital and la- bor. The situation, aggravated by the more universal use of machinery, has grown worse instead of better; since this system has proved inefficient, some radical change must be made sooner or later. He proved the inefficacy of the Farm Relief Organization: this system has made one-half of the far- mers today tenant farmers. Dr. Holmes. outlined the advantages of government control of the essential in- dustries by showing the waste caused in privately controlled industry and contrasting with this the efficiency of our present government control of schools, public roads, and parcel post. He concluded: “We are after a free people; getting rid of domination, willing to adventure in order to have * a nobler and better human society.” IN PHILADELPHIA (Continued from Page Two) only to be ‘scorned by the woman he did it all for.
