ment or its being broken up into

sembles.

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

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.

at a good steady pace.

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

“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

jially prepared. 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.
