Prospective concentrators in the field, which includes Scandinavian languages and literature, should not enter it with the object of gaining training in linguistics. Comparative Philology is the field for that. German concentrators, after several preliminary language courses such as German A, German C, or German H, will spend most of their time with literature.

Last week Detroit's Scandinavian Symphony musicians were up to really big doings. They moved into the Masonic Temple's 4,500-seat main auditorium, and more than half the seats were filled. They also pulled in some new musicians to build the orchestra up to a big-sounding 94 pieces. They bowed and blew their way through Howard Hanson's Romantic Symphony No. 2, then wound things up with resounding performances of Grieg's Piano Concerto in A Minor and Sibelius' Finlandia. As usual, they mingled with the audience afterward, but this time they...
