scherzo, was characterized by intelli-
gent phrasing and well-modulated dy-
_ Mamics on the part of all four mu-
Sicians. ,

. The third movement of this quartet
is the slow movement; thus the usual

order of the second and third move-|.

ments is reversed. By using the
scherzo as second movement Haydn
provided contrast in the musical
texture of the whole. ,

_ The ever accurate intonation, crisp
“smoothness of tone, and musical un-
derstanding which characterizes Miss
Rice’s playing were particularly’ no-
ticeable in the first violin part of this
slow movement.

' _ The” last movement of the quartet
is a fugue with two subjects, greatly
contrasted in character. The first
subject, entering in the second violin,
is slow and full of large’ intervals.
The second subject, entering three
measures later in the viola, is its com-
plete opposite. The fugue’ proceeds
rhythmically and steadily to its con-
clusive ending with an almost Bach-
like vigor.

The second quartet seitevwes was.
the Mozart D Minor, in which Miss
‘ Duwall played first Rice, second. The first movement is
conventional form. One noticed its
. greater sophistication as compared
with the Haydn, in the use of such de-
vices as imitation between the differ-
ent voices, which was adequately em-
phasized by the quartet.

The second movement is the slow
movement, in A. B. A. form. Char-
acteristic of it is the motif of the
upward arpeggio, which comes imita-
tively in the different voices.

The third movement is a scherzo,
as is usual. The -vigorous rhythmic
pattern of the minuet was. brought
out by the players in direct contrast
to the preceding slow movement.
One particularily noticed the tech-
nical excelling and smooth’ tone of
Miss Duwall.

~~ The fourth movement of. the quartet

is.g theme and variations. The theme
is of a melodious lyric, character well
suited to the form, and understand-
ingly played ‘by all the members of
_ the quartet, in the different varia-
tions.

The musicians next played the sec-
Brahms quartet,: op, 67 in B flat
ond and third movements from a
major, with Miss Rice again playing
-first violin.

The deep richness of. tone in the
cello, under Mrs.:-McGrehor’s skilful
fingers was particularly well brought
out in the beautiful slow second move-
ment and seemed eminently suitable in
this expressive Brahms movement.’

The third movement of this quartet
is a rather elaborately extended min-
uet and trio, with coda; the form as
well as style was in contrast to the
simple structure of the Haydn and

tion has been managed with com-
paratively little difficulty. . Last year’s
pageantry has given: way to angel
robes, devilish red. cloth (not Sopho-
more tunics), haloes, horns and tails
galore, stuffed with newspaper.
Things have been made quite simple,
as most of the cast will be dressed
in the ordinary clothes of our campus
characters.

The poster story has been one of
woe. Three of the ‘better ones have
met catastrophe—one was submerged
in soup, one dunked in red paint and
the third was burned along with the
colored streamers and other parapher-
nalia left over from the Merion dance.
There were other difficulties found
with the scenery. One of the major
‘problems were the clouds which, when
dyed pink, persistently turned a dingy
brown. When we finally see them
on Saturday night they will be a sub-
dued blue. D. :D.

Mozart scherzi.

In this movement we heard Mrs.
Fairchild as soloist, her viola stand-
ing out against the muted strings of
the other instruments.
noteworthy was her mastery of her
‘nstrument in the difficult high regis-
ter combined with expressiveness and
beauty of tone. Several different de-
vices were used in the other instru-
ments for accompaniment such as the
receiving arpeggio figure in the trio,
their muted strings producing that

-_strange shimmering quality—so_remi-|

niscent of string stops on the organ.
Perhaps the most outstanding qual-
ity of this delightful concert was that
sense of perfect ensemble and instinc-
tive musical agreement between all
four of the performers, which is so
important in good quartet playing.

Qualities other than scholarship are
likewise desirable, such as influence
among contemporaries, “responsible-
ness” and specialized gifts. The col-
lege aims to. help as many as possible
who will add to the “value and wealth

Now that college requirements have
become more severe, it is no longer
possible for a student to earn alNer
even three-quarters of her education.
But one can go too far in the opposite
direction Dean Manning urged all
scholarship students to perfect some
skill, such as typing or a language,

her education. The opportunities in

the summer for extra training or ac-[

tual -experience should be made use
