We can not, in the opinion of Prof. Frederick H. Koch, speaker at Tuesday’s assembly, develop a truly American theatrical art If our playwrights and producers remain parasites on the past.
Professor Koch, whose work toward the development of folk plays at the University of North Carolina haa attracted national attention, discussed with enthusiasm the prospect of a native drama developing out of regional expression.
In this connection he read the preface to a one act play, “Stoves,” written in his class during the first session of summer school here, and produced before the end of tive session.
Professor Koch highly commended the drama as an art form very difficult to apply and highly effective when properly used. The greatest poetry of the greatest epochs in litera ture has been written in the dramatic form, he pointed out, referring to the Grecian art of Aeschylus, Sophocles, and Euripides; the Spanish expression of Lope de Vega and Calderon; the French work of Corneille, Racine, and Moiiete; the English poetry of Shakespeare; and the Norweigian of Ibsen.
The speaker also emphasized the importance of the actor iu the dramatic art, pointing out that the art grew out of acting rather than acting out of art. He pointed out that Shakespeare’s plays are often ruined for students because they are taught with too much emphasis on the academic as opposed to the form which they take when actually produced.
To elevate the profession of education until it will command the attention of the leading minds of the country and to endow it with the “peculiar re ligion’’ which makes military men zealous in their cause is the program of Dr. Frank Bohn, international relations and special feature writer of the New York Times, in his talk Wednes day noon before the Adminis tration club in the social hall of the Student Union.
WITHOUT ARMS
Dr. Bolm attached particular importance to the "esprit” for education to train educators to be ‘‘soldiers and gentlemen without arms.” He emphasized the need of a program which will double the present salaries of educators and give salaries of at least $50,000 yearly to some 500 of the country’s greatest leaders in the field; the presidents of the greater universities and executive heads of the larger public school systems.
LESS DESTRUCTION
This can be brought about, the spaker indicated, by smaller emphasis on the military and destructive expenditures which now take up the overwhelming majority of national expenditures. He advocated particularly the expenditure of national funds on education iu those states whose lack of funds have so far made them the most backward of the nation.
Tlie speaker was introduced by Walter Mitchell, program chairman. President Ralph Thomas presided. Community singing was led by Wesley Smith.
MUSICAL NUMBERS
Howard S. Munger played three cornet solos, accompanied by Harold Broadwell. They were Schubert’s “Sereuade,’’ the Toreador song from Bizet’s “Carmen,” and “Solvejg’s Song” by Grieg.
Frank G. Baxter, S. C. instructor in English, noted as a book collector, will speak at tho club luncheon next Wednesday.
