We would like to hear Helen An- derton’s “Scherzo” played again in order to concentrate on composi- tion rather than performance. However, its themes were original and interesting and its orchestra- tion excellent. Helen is cer- tainly to be commended for her hard work, and we look forward to hearing more of it. Richard Schu- man’s Prelude for piano and violin was quite lovely and showed more than promise.__The violin’s plain- tive theme was. well-played by Ragnar Austad, who emerged vic- torious from a difficult bowing con- test provided by Schuman. Ruth Crane suffered from an _ inferior piano but played with her usual technical perfection and excellent interpretation. Ruth is a real mu- sician and a diligent one; we would like the opportunity of hearing her again in another capacity than that of accompanist. Nancy Knettle’s Musicale show- ed commendable enterprise and a nice sense of rhythm but unfortun- ate triteness in every selection but the last. “East Coast,” a pleasant if unprepéssessing number, was played with gusto by Henny Burch and Ruth Crane, who “went” equal- ly well together in “Let’s Synchro- nize,” a very clever song, though the words were not always dis- tinguishable. The other two songs, “Land Where Another Sun Shines” and “I Dreamed About You Last Night,” sung respectively by Wil- liam Hough and Ellen Smith, made use of the most hackneyed music far too much drama for Chapel Conducted By Rev. Sturges The Reverend Philemon F. Stur- ges, Rector of the Church of St. Martin-in-the-Fields, Philadelphia, conducted the chapel service in the Music Room on March 9. The text of Reverend Sturges’ talk was the thirteenth chapter of Corinthians from the Epistles of St. Paul. Reverend Sturges com- pared the period in which Paul lived, when things seemed to be coming to an end, to the situation at present. Although the forces in our life seem to be armies, force, and gov- ernment, pointed—out-Reverend Sturges, faith, hope and charity are the forces that abide. The fail- ure to aim at the highest we know is the result of weakness of faith, hope and charity. The church asks people to take time to think about what goes on inside of them. and to see if they really have those qualities, explain- ed Mr. Sturges. He added that without faith and hope and char- ity we cannot meet the challenge of the day in which we live. and lyrics, and were delivered with “popular” song's. Bryn Mawr and Haverford have undoubted and genuine talent with- in their ranks. It is to be hoped that this talent will not wait for another formal Arts Night to show itself still further; perhaps a night of original music could be arrang- ed between the two colleges. We await eagerly the advent of more new music, from either our “estab- lished” composers or from talent as yet undiscovered. ee ee ‘Porter, Newbold, Eaton, Thomas Nominated for Self-Gov.

With the aid of Sheila Tatnall as Lorelei, the lively young maid who spends most of her waking moments absorbed in reading tragic love stories of the magazine var- iety, David Blackwell succeeded in traversing-the opening moments of the play with a minimum of diffi- culty. Lorelei’s voice was excel- lent, with just the right inflection and a smattering of artificiality in her well acted earnestness. David Blackwell seemed somewhat at a loss, but managed to retreat be- hind his spectacles with sufficient poise until the entrance of Marcia Dentbow as Christine Drake gave- him more of a reason for acting. After an entrance which at once awoke the audience, Marcia played the clever and attractive wife of script writer Drake with continu- ity, and at the same time managed to achieve a considerable amount of variety, which the other char- acters lacked. Her attempts to help Carl write a scenario concern- ing a young married couple who have been unfaithful are diverse and amusing. “She contrives” to come out on top in one way or an- other, at times with such retorts as “you don’t ask your friends how they’ve been unfaithful!” With the entrance of Mr. Basser- man, the mailman, Christine turns her efforts toward seeking practi- cal information for her husband from each character who comes on Continued on Page 4 by Marian Edwards ’50 “We are not producing any new drug or dye down here in Park”, said Dr. Marshall Gates, Associate Professor of Chemistry, the other day. “This is purely academic re- search.” This year, Dr. Gates has been continuing his work in syn- thetic organic chemistry under a Frederick Gardner Cottrell Grant. The grant, awarded by the Re- search Corporation on a competi- tive basis, enables the holder to carry out studies in a particular scientific field. It also provides for the employing of a full time as- sistant, besides supplying money for chemicals and laboratory ma- terials. In this Cottrell grant, Dr. Gates is furthering work which he start- ed before the war. Explaining briefly to the lay reporter, Dr. Gates said that he and his assist- ant were “working on some reac- | tions that might illumine tions.” . This especially the reactions of quinones.

Many weeks alone are spent, said Dr. Gates, in prep- aration of required intermediates. Dr. Gates, with his assistant, plans to continue his work through the summer. By then he expects definite results of a nature suit- able for publication. Though there is no immediate practical use for his research, these experiments, he said,, may illuminate the mechan- ism of substitution reactions and therefore be of general interest to the organic chemist. An important purpose of the Re- search Corporation Grants is the upbuilding of the institution under whose auspices the research is done. The scientific ability of the. applicant, the merit of the propos- ed field of research, and the suit- ability of the institution for the un- dertaking, are the main factors considered in the awarding of these grants.
