~~M. de Montoliu'Shows Purpose of ~~
Eurythmics
On Saturday afternoon, in the Gymna-
sium, M. de Montoliu gave a demonstra-
tion of the Jaques Dalcroze method of
eurythmics. Mme. de Montoliu, Mlle.
Odier, of the Baldwin School, and Miss
Brooke, of the Franklin School, Buffalo,
gave a very instructive example of this
method.
The most difficult exercise was the in-
dependent control of the limbs, one arm
beating time, 3-4, and the other, 4-4, si-
multaneously. The last number on the
program was the interpretation of various
musical selections: Bach’s “Menuet in G-
Major”, by Mme. de Montoliu’and Mlle.
Odier; a Greig “Folk Song”, by Miss
Brooke; Liadow’s “Pastrole” in B-Major
by Mme. de Montoliu, and Bach’s two-
part invention in F-Major by Mme. de
Montoliu and Mlle. Odier.
M. de Montoliu, at the piano, played the
necessary improvisitation and explained
the purpose of each exercise.
In an interview after the performance
M. de Montoliu explained that the pur-
pose of Eurythmics was to bring the body
into complete co-operation with the music.
and, in more advanced work, to reproduce
“the inner feelings and atmosphere as
well”. During the lesson the teacher im-
provises the music and the student is
compelled to feel the rhythm and inter-
pret it without knowing before what it is
to be. Great stress is laid on this inter-
pretation as, besides learning grace of
movement, “the student is always kept on
the alert, he learns to concentrate rapidly,
acquires a high degree of self-control, de-
velopes the faculty of quick response, and
finally establishes so perfect a connection
between mind and body that the last be-
comes a most wonderful instrument of ex-
pression”.
A class in eurythmics is to be started
in College. It will meet on Wednesday
and will count as drill for Juniors and
Seniors and as a third period of exer-
cise for Sophomores and Freshmen. The
twelve lessons, at six dollars, will last
from now until the end of the Gymnasium
season.
POST SEASON HOCKEY GAME
Varsity Defeats Baltimore, 13 to 4
Varsity defeated Baltimore on Satur-
day, 13 to 4." From the start of the game
it was clear that the Baltimore team was
no match for Varsity. V. Litchfield and
P. Turle each shot a goal within the first
three minutes of the game. The Balti-
more forwards attempted long passes in-
stead of dribbling, except for the left
wing, who made several fast runs. The
first goal for Baltimore was made by the
centre forward after the left wing had
rushed the ball down; the second was
made by the left wing after a long run.
Varsity forward line did good passing,
but had no organized backfield to inter-
fere with their plays. Six more goals
were shot in the first half for Varsity,
making the score 8-2.
The second half started with a goal for
Baltimore. The Varsity defense did in-
dividual work rather than team play, but
succeeded in keeping Baltimore from
shooting till after Varsity had gained five
more goals. L. Heisler, who was playing
Varsity goal for the first time, made two
very good clean stops. A. Chambers,
Bryn Mawr, ex-’11, who played right in-
side, shot the last goal for Baltimore,
making the final score 13 to 4.

elasticity in both accepting and rejecting
students, she may, with the favor of for-
tune, be admitted to English 47a. Here
the work is still more searchingly per-
sonal, and the standard approaches, if
possible, more nearly that of the profes-
sional stage.
Prizes for the Plays
“The success of these courses would
be less were it not for the stimuli which
Professor Baker has carefully organized
and fostered. They consist in, roughly,
the possibility of production by the Har-
vard Dramatic Club, which often per-
forms long and short plays by students or
former students; the MacDowell Fellow-
ship, which provides a foundation for
students of promise; the Craig Prize, the
annual gift of Mr. John Craig, manager
of the Castle Square Theatre, Boston,
which is awarded for the best play sub-
mitted by a student in these courses, and
which embraces a purchase of books on
the drama for the library, a cash sum for
the recipient, and the privilege of pro-
duction on the professional stage; and
the Workshop.
“Workshop” Is Laboratory of Drama
“Of these the Workshop needs a spe-
cial word. The organization, a company
of accomplished amateurs connected with
Radcliffe and Harvard, is exactly what
its name implies, a medium for trying out
plays. Each year some half-dozen per-
formances are given before specially in-
vited audiences, whose frankest criti-
cism in writing is strongly solicited. At
present, plays are performed in the thea-
tre at Agassiz House, Radcliffe, and, in
spite of difficulties of staging, experi-
mentation is successfully carried on not
only in production, but in lighting and
scenic effects as well. The value of such
laboratory practice for both student and
teacher cannot be overestimated and the
Workshop has contributed much to the
success of the courses in dramatic com-
position”.
ALUMNA NOTES
“The Knickerbocker Press” has pub-
lished a book of verses, “Script of the
Sun”, by Mrs. Parker Huddleston (Mabel
Clark, ’89).
Agnes Borthwick, British Scholar, 1912-
1914, is overseer of the National Shell
Factory, England.
Jean Crawford, '02, has been appointed
manager of the College Club in Philadel-
phia. Miss Crawford was Warden of
Rockefeller from 1907-11.
Florence Donald White, A.B., Mt. Holy-
oke, Ph.D. Bryn Mawr, has just published
her dissertation on “Voltaire’s Essay on
Epic Poetry”. In the preface Miss White
mentions her indebtedness to M. Foulet,
Dr. Schinz, and Dr. S. Chew, of Bryn
Mawr.
Dagmar Perkins, '15, spoke recently be-
fore the California Women’s Club on the
“Psychology of the Drama”. Miss Per-
kins, while in College, was chosen to play
the part of Campaspe in Lyly’s play of
that name, in the May-day of 1914, be-
cause of her voice. It is noteworthy that,
in her talk, she especially stressed the
importance of good diction, and praised
the moving pictures because there the
audience need not listen to discordant
voices.
