Haydn's masterly "Lord Nelson Mass" presented in Memorial Church on May 13 by Harvard and Radcliffe freshman choruses. Titled by Haydn a Mass in D-Minor, it is nevertheless drawn more often than not, like Bach's B-Minor Mass, into the happy and festive key of D-Major. Performance enormously impressive. First two parts conducted by Cornelia Davenport, last three by Allan Miller.

Vocal soloists adequate for the most part. No small amount...
...biweekly magazine called Christianity Today was announced for publication in October. In addition to Editor Carl F. H.

First, Struik could be reindicted if the State Attorney General successfully appeals the Gilbert decision to the U.S. Supreme Court, but the high tribunal would be unlikely to accept the case after its contrary Nelson ruling. Second, Congress itself could broaden the intent of Federal Communist control acts to tolerate existing state laws. But such an interpretation would be valid for the 84th Congress only, and could not legally be held to apply retroactively to a case like Struik's. And, finally, in response to the petition of 42 state Attorneys General, the Federal court could hear re-argument...
