ELMAN PLEASES IN
CONCERT RECITAL
Well-Known Russian Virtuoso Pre
sents Pleasing Violin Pro-
gram in Auditorium
WIDE VARIETY OF PIECES
PLAYED BY VIOLINIST
Nothing but unstinted praise and ap
proval was heard on all sides after the
violin concert which was given in the
Auditorium last Friday evening by the
young Russian virtuoso, Mischa Blman.
who appeared at Penn State this year
under the auspices of the seventh num
ber of the V. M. C. A. and Department
of Music's Musical and Entertainment
Course. Elman has gained an inter
national reputation for his concert work
during the last few years and his ap
pearance in the Auditorium last week
secured his position in the minds of
Penn State music lovers ns the great
est violinist who has over been heard
here.
From the opening bars of I-laendel’s
Sonata in D Major until the last notes
of Sarane’s Jota had died away amid
a thunder of applause, the artist hold
his audience spell-hound by his playing.
As is his custom at similar concerts,
Elman opened his program Friday even
ing with a heavier typo of music and
ended with a number of lighter pieces
that showed his versatility as a mu
sician of the highest type. As one crit
ic has said, "He plays from his heart
and his spirit, as well as from his head,
ond his music Is more divine than hu
man.”
A burst of applause greeted Elman
at the completion of hiß first selection,
that was increased as the artist won
the hearts of his audience by each suc
ceeding number. In the Allegro from
Taendel’s Sonata, the artist brought out
a number of unique movements that
were handled in a faultless manner.
The Larghetto, In pleasing contrast to
the other numbers of the piece, was in
a pathetic and soft mood that could
not help but awaken a sympathetic
note in the unmusical listener.
Of the lighter numbers that the ar
tist brought into his program, the "Gro
tesque Funeral" from Korngold's Suite
“Viel Larmen um Nichts” won the
greatest applause. The piece 19 a weird
fanciful thing that distinguished It from
the remainder of the program and ling
ered in the minds of the audience iong
after the concert was over.
The Stein way piano which was used
for the concert was furnished by F. A.
Winters and Son of Altoona and Ty
rone, through whose courtesy a piano
was transported from Altoona for the
evening.

THEM DEPARTMENT ACQUIRES
BOOKS OF JOHN PRIESTLY
The Department of Chemistry has
aome antique and interesting books
written by Joseph Priestly during the
Revolutionary period and printed dur
ing his life time. The books are on a
wide range of subjects from theology to
chemistry, as be was a wide and vo
luminous writer. They would make
rather dry reading today and their val
ue as authority on the subjects cover
ed la but little. However because
Priestly is so intimately connected with
Pennsylvania, being a resident of
Northumberland county, and his name
so important a place in the
• history of the development of modern
‘chemistry, they are of rather high in
trinsic worth and the Chemistry De
partment is fortunate In pose easing
‘them.

A. A. A. S. PLANS TWO
SEMESTER MEETINGS
Attempt Being Made To Secure Co
operation in Getting Lec
turers for Meetings
The State College branch of the
American Association for the Advance
ment of Science,, of
C. R. Orton is chairman, plans to have
two meetings this semester, one in the
latter part of March and the other
later in the season.
A committee with Professor R. D.
Anthony as chairman, has prepared a
program for the first meeting which
will consist of talks given by people
who arc doing important research work
at State College. It is the plan of the
organization to give publicity to its
activities through the new broadcasting 1
station. The final meeting of tho
year will ho held late in tho semester
and will be addressed by a person of
national reputation on some phase of
science.
Coordination in securing distin
guished speakers for the college Is one
of tho present problems which Is being
taken up by an association committee
consisting of Dean Stoddart, Dean Hol
brook, and Professor Orton.
At the present time, different soci
eties about the college attempt to se
cure speakers without considering the
activities of other groups in this same
direction, with the result that two or
ganizations often try to gain the ser
vices of the same speaker. An attempt
will be made to assist In coordinating
the programs of other organizations on
the campus for working out a compre
hensive calendar of Important address
es, and if the plan of this committee is
successful it will be possible to avoid
conflictlons in the future.

The Penn State Y. M. C. A. is In re

Agricultural School, giving the friend
liest of greetings and'deep thanks to
tho ■students of Penn State. A com
mittee of the Petrofsky pupils, being
impressed by tho genoroslty of Penn
State, had prepared' some* data and a
few-photographs showing, the poverty
stricken condition;and the results that
had been accomplished so far. But
unfortunately, the' envelope containing
the information Was destroyed by mis
take. Undaunted by the loss of the
first photographs, they have saved and
invested- money -in a few -more pic
tures, which »the Y. M.-C. A. has also
recently received.
The picture that is printed above
'shows the broad line of' the students
at meal time, and also the poor quar
ters in which’ they are located. ‘Al
though the photograph may not show
It so distinctly, yet- the furniture is of
the simplest, and most crude nature.
The knives,- forks,- dishes, and cups are
ui! tiiade of .tin and most of them show
the qffoots of rough-usage and wear.
. The food that is served the pupils
of the school is of a very coarse and
inferior quality, 'when compared with
the kind that American students are
served. Bread is; the most abundant
food, but even-it.must be distributed
by means of .rations. On the other
hand, two of the. delicacies served to
the Russian students are potatoes am
sour ' cabbage, which ' are , still’ more
scarce than the supply-of bread.
