...hesitated to expose so personal an insight: The interpreter's duty is threefold. First, he must master the numberless muscular pressures which in every position on every string will produce every quality of sound.

Chagall has depicted busy, crowded, complex European scenes and yet his inspiration seems likewise instinctual. Both collections illustrate folk traditions stretching back beyond memories. The difference lies in the ancestral memories...

This funny moralistic play, written by Nigeria's leading playwright and directed by visiting director Harold Scott '57 gives a humorous evocation of the "temptations" in contemporary African life. And it gives anyone interested in working on production or costuming an opportunity to convey an unusual setting for those temptations. The play opens October...
