Beginning his sixteenth season as coach of the court squad, Lon Jourdet, the only alumni coach in the league, will have a completely veteran team available if he wishes to use it. The Quakers will miss Payson Brickley, 1939 captain; Tony Mischo, runner-up for the league's individual scoring crown, and Bill Dignan and Chuck Diven, but they still have Ross Hahn and Bruce Pearce as forwards; Harian Gustafson, football captain, at center, and Captain Gerry Seeders and Bernie Schrieber at the guards. In fact that is the way Pennsylvania will line up, at least for its early games...

...great settings of sacred texts have in common, beside the absolute musical value, a respectful, sympathetic attitude towards the text. This attitude is no less religious, probably, in the Symphony of Psalms or the Beethoven Mass than in the music of the sixteenth century; it is merely different.

Both the scherzo, which is the offspring of the minuet, and the variation form can be traced back to the very origin of instrumental forms in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries. The combination of popular dances-minuets, sarabandes, allemandes,--represents the first attempt to write instrumental pieces involving more than one section, the germ of all later large forms...

Fiene embodies some of the controlled but outspoken realism of the elder Breughel, sixteenth century Flemish master. In Breughel's work, we see the underlying and basic connection of man with nature. His men and women are integral parts of the landscape; humanity is just as deeply rooted in the earth as a massive rock or a tree. Fiene speaks much in the same manner. His men are on a par with the countryside which they inhabit. But his is a new kind of landscape, one bristling with cranes and pulleys, a valley of machines whose wheels seem...
