Offered
Beethoven Sonatas Presented by Trio in Three Programs
Through the courtesy of Elizabeth Sprague Coolidge, three remaining programs of the Beethoven trios and sonatas will be offered by the University Trio tonight, tomorrow night, and Friday evening in Hancock auditorium. Tickets may be purchased for $1.
Gunnar Johansen, pianist, C. Warwick-Evans, cellist, and Henri Temianka, violinist, will play the Violin Sonata in F-major, Opus 24,
I Trio in D-major, Opus 70, No. 1, and Cello Sonata in C-major, Opus I 102, No. 1, this evening.
| SEASON TICKETS
Season tickets are now available , for use by several persons on one or more evenings. While no single tickets are sold, this offer enables persons who did not attend the first two evenings to hear one concert for 20 cents.
Listeners will have the advantage of gaining familiarity with the Beethoven sonatas and trios much more easily than would ordinarily be possible, violinist Temianka points out, because of the comprehensiveness of the programs and i the order in which the works are i played.
Ar FORDS MUSICAL STUDY-
A long-range view of Beethoven’s style and the growth of his ideas is afforded, since the violin and cello sonatas are being heard in the order of their composition, from the earliest to the latest. Comparisons of Beethoven’s three “periods” may at the same time be drawn, for the programs started with his later violin-cello-piano trios and will progress in reverse order to the first works in that form.
Mrs. Elizabeth Sprague Coolidge, world-famous as a patroness of chamber music, has sponsored free concerts for the past 20 years and has dedicated a fortune to the furtherance of the art. The London String quartet was recently reorganized at her behest. The Pro-Arte quartet, tha Coolidge quartet, and the University Trio, also enjoy her support.
Engineers Greet Incoming Class
Kenneth Gunn, student president of the College of Engineering, yesterday announced the traditional engineers* smoker, conducted for the benefit of all newly-enrolled engineering students.
The group will convene at the Sigma Phi Delta house, 2831 Elien-dale drive, at 8 p.m. tonight where upperclassmen will introduce the students to professors of engineering courses.
During the evening, instructors will discuss informally the subject of draft deferment in so far as it affects those persons attending. Gunn said the subject is of vital concern at the time.
Chairmen of the meeting have arranged an entertainment program that includes several motion pictures. The reels are comprised of sport subjects, extracts from university life, and material of a technical nature.
Gunn expressed a desire that all students attend the annual smoker and join with upperclassmen in refreshment and conversation.
Trojan Knights, Squires Serve as Color Guard
Fashion notes this season indicate that no changes will be made in the maroon sweaters adorning the persons of this year’s Trojan Knights and that the Squires will still be wearing black.
Custodians of Trojan traditions, the Knights, in their maroon sweaters with orange emblems, are on hand today and every day to assist students, to enforce rules, and be of service to guests of the university.
Service to the university is the aim of the organization, composed of junior and senior men. They are present at every student activity and endeavor to instill into new students knowledge of the customs of the campus.
The Trojan Squires, sophomores wearing black sweaters with white emblems, regulate freshman class activities and are ready at all times to aid and instruct freshmen, both on campus and in rooters’ sections and assemblies.
