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.. By using the slogan
•‘Courtesy of the Road,” we can
all go about our business safe

Brahms Works
Covered Completely
The all-Brahms program which the Festival Quartet
will play tomorrow evening comprises the entire work in
this genre by the composer.
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 to stand as one of the
finest things he created in the
chamber music field. 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
