PAGE FOUR Editorial Opinion Worse Than Inadequate A book drive is being conducted on campus to help * Pennsylvania college whose library was recently de stroyed by fire—St. Francis College of Loretto. The drive was initiated by Professor Ralph H. Wherry through his Commerce 55 classes and since then has been supported by student leaders. The books will be donated in the name of the late Dr. George L- Leffler, assistant dean of .research of the College of Business Administra tion, who died Friday. It Is unfortunate when a college or university must operate with an Inadequate library, yet having none at all would virtually paralyze any educational institution. We do not think it is too much to ask of any student that he. contribute one or two books that would benefit several hundred students instead of just one. And possibly students who have been unable to sell books through the ÜBA will just leave them in the cardroom for the drive. Books of all subjects, sorts and sizes are needed. They can be delivered lo 2-F Boucke, Ihe HUB card room or will be personally collected by calling AD 8-8441 ext. 2428. If each student would give one book, the University could present the St. Francis library with a substantial gift of more than 13,000 books—a pretty good helping hand. Keep It Nice Food Service has agreed to open the Terrace Room as as annex to the Lion’s Den to help alleviate some of the overcrowded conditions. This should help quite a bit until the University can build additional snack bars and/or an addition to the HUB. Food Sendee was a little dubious over opening the Terrace Room for Lion’s Den customers. The reason for this is obvious. They are proud of the Terrace Room, and it is a nice place to take visitors to Penn State for dinner. The furniture in the Lion’s Den has taken quite a beating, and students, all too often, have been careless in use of the furniture. It shouldn’t be asking too much in requesting students to take extra care to see that the Terrace Room remains a place to show off to parents and visitors. At the same time, students might also be a little more careful toward the furniture in the Lion’s Den.

Roadways Serve A Dual Purpose (Editor's Note: The following comment could well be ap plied to the University.) The roadways in our plant must serve a dual purpose. In most instances they must be used by employees going to and from their various depart ments. All of our trucks, auto mobile and mobile equipment must also use the same road ways. Everyone, whether pedes trian or driver must use cau tion at all times .while using these roads. Pedestrians should walk at the side of the road and not scatter over the roadway. Drivers should not expect the pedestrian to leave the road in order for him to pass another car..

The G Minor and A Major piano quartets were pub lished as Opus 25 and Opus 26 respectively and the final one in C Minor is Opus 60. The G Minor was begun in 1857, and both were performed in Vienna in November, 1862; no more exact information about their origin is available. With these works Brahms made his successful Viennese debut as pianist. They are among his most expansive chamber-music compostions In the G Minor Quartet, Op us 25, the first movement, an Allegro, is, to quote Walter Niemann from his book on Brahms: “One of the most beautiful, grateful, and widely known of all the chamber works dating from the com poser’s early years, and one of the few compositions of Brahms which are capable of firing an audience even at pop ular prices, thanks to its extra ordinary wealth of musical in spiration, accompanied by an equally extra-ordinary simpli city of form.” The key relationship is G Minor, the tonic, alternating with D Major for the second subject. The second movement of this G Minor Quartet is an Intermezzo: Allegro ma non troppo, and corresponds to the classical scherzo and trio. The key is C Minor, while the trio is A Flat Major and the Coda, ending the section, is in C Ma jor. In both of these movements Brahms’ themes are not gen erally beautiful in the conven tional sense, but become so by the treatment they receive—a fact which sufficiently explains why his works require such study for their full apprecia tion. M»r 10-12.- The third movement, an An dante con moto, consists of two song-groups divided by an in termezzo, the three sections being approximately of equal length. Again, contrasting themes open the movement, but the middle section is of especial interest, in that it con tains a march in triple mea sure. The last movement bf the Opus 25 G Minor Piano Quar tet is a Rondo alia Zingarese. presto. Here we find Brahms’ fondness for Hungarian tunes; Hungarian temperament per vades the entire piece, yet once again it is the use to which Brahms puts such tempera ment that causes this move* SATURDAY.

The ca denza- at the end of the move ment is of special interest Evans, the great Brahms scho lar, says it “is distinguished by boldness, originality and freedom.” It is certainly bold, for it is the type of cadenza usually reserved for the.con certo style of-writing. Space will not permit much more than to make a general statement about the A Major Piano Quartet, Opus 28. Homer Ulrich, in his book on Cham ber Music, says "The A Major Quartet is an equally fine work; certain passages, not ably those based on the first movement's short motive, il lustrate to a high degree Brahms' contrapuntal skill. The slow movement's serene melo dies, the flowing scherzo, with its trio written in canon, and the finale's sustained power are unsurpassed." The first movement is an Al legro non troppo, the key is A Major. The second move ment of this A Major quartet is Poco Adagio, and it is gra cious and simple throughout and the key is E. The third movement is a Scherzo, Poco allegro. The key is A Major, while the trio is D Minor. The Finale of this quartet is an Allegro, “full of the gypsy col oring” characteristic, of Brahms’ Chamber Music. The third and last of .these quartets of Brahms, the piano quartet in C Minor, Opus 60, was begun in 1855. It was not until 1874 that Brahms re turned to the work he had started almost twenty, years earlier. He revised the first two movements, discarded a last movement also done .at that time, and wrote the third and a new . last movement publishing the finished quartet in 1875, just a short time be fore he published his first sym phony. The first movement, of this piano quartet in C Minor is-an Allegro non troppo. The struc ture is orthodox in that it con tains an introductory state ment. followed by two main (Continued on page /it?e)
