memory of Lincoln, In 1946 Paul
Hindemith set the work to music
with the subtitle ‘*A Requiem For
“those we love” to commemorate
Franklin D, Roosevelt’s death.
Three symbols, the lilac, the
star, and the bird, pervade the
poem. The lilac with its heart-
shaped leaves, abundant in Wash-
ington at the time of. Lincoln’s
funeral, suggested love to
Whitman, The star is Lincoln, and
the bird is the poet singing his
song. The three are drawn together
finally in a simple and very beauti-
‘ful chorus. at the end of the piece.
Hindemith was ‘moved by deep
personal feelings in writing the Re-
quiem for Roosevelt. The musician
was forced to flee Nazi Gérmany
and found asylum in the United
States, where he became ateacher
at Yale, Roosevelt, as the leader
of the American people, was the
embodiment of the American ideal
for him. His expression of this -
ideal in music can now aptly serve ©
to honor the memory of. John F,
Kennedy.

Proves A Stimulating Affair -.
By Sinus Orbeton, °67
The Bryn Mawr-Yale mental
.mixer held October 24 was a
_.definite success. Both hosts and
guests found the event far more
enjoyable than traditional free-
for-alls. It provided an opportunity
‘for genuine exchange of ideas.
The mixer was held in the home
of Dr. Andrew Patterson, master
of Morse College. His daughter,
Ellen Patterson, is a BMC junior
in-Merion Hall, Participating inthe
mixer were 15 Bryn Mawr girls
and: 30 Yalies.
The springboard for discussion
was a lecture by Jose Delgada, a
““Yatephysiology professor: He
spoke on a series of behavior ex-
periments he had conducted. Elec-
trical impulses canbe sent through
electrodes cic in the brain’

Plans Taking Shape
~ For BMC-Princeton Play —
“\¢Hippolytus”” enthusiasts met
with Richmond Lattimore and
- Mable -Lang last Thursday evening
to discuss the play and possible
production techniques.
Traditional tragic drama masks
will be worn by ‘both principal
actors and chorus members.,°»
Speaking through the masks, how-
ever was agreed to be technically _
difficult, since masks would muffle
actors voices and in Goodhart
“Auditorium and in McCarter’ thea-
ter (both acoustically poor) many of
-the- lines: would-be: lost.
Pre-recording the production -
would also give added freedom: to
the chorus. Chorus members would
not then be faced with the difficult
order of speaking and. dancing

simultaneously. Since the play will
be presented in Greek, it was felt
that the movement of the chorus —
should express, as fully as possi-
‘ble, the meaning and emotional
tenor of their speeches. Greater
~ freedom in its choreography might |
accomplish this.
'. Recording of the principal
speeches ‘will be done during a
complete rehearsal of. the’ play.
