VincianaTalk*
OpenTonight

Three lectures will be presented on succeeding Fridays in Harris hall auditorium at 8 p.m. and are open to the public without charge.
Professor Stites, author of “Arts and Man.” sees art as a symbol of man's ability to resolve his conflicts. He thinks that American art should adopt a new symbol as a standard of recognition throughout the world of today. He feels that international art such as that born out of Pan-American relationships will introduce new inspirations of design in the future, and that man, art, and civilization must resolve into a unit expression of world peace.
Professor Stites is a graduate of Brown university where he also took his master's degree in art and ! philosophy and became an assistant in the art department and in the department of classics.
1 While teaching he took courses in sculpture and painting at the ! Rhode Island School of Design.
I He then spent five years in Europe, where he studied in Greece, Italy, France, and Austria and took his doctorate in the history of art and philosophy at the University of Vienna.
After teaching at several universities he came to Antioch college in 1930. The remainder of his spare time has been spent in collecting data and writing his latest work, “Arts and Man.”
On Friday, July 19, the second in the Da Vlncl series will be given by Dr. Thomas B. Clements. Hancock professor of geology, on “Leonardo as a Scientist.”
The final lecture of the series, Friday, July 26. will be “Leonardo As An Anatomist and a Student of Medicine,” and will be discussed by Dr Elmer Belt, M D„ physician and surgeon, Los Angeles.
Harpsichordist Ehlers Plans Bach Concert
'Goldberg Variations' Will Theme Monday Recital in Hancock
Playing Bach’s “Goldberg Variations” for the third: time publicly, Mme. Alice j Ehlers, professor of music, i will present this harpsichord work in Hancock auditorium Monday, July 15, at 8:30 p.m.
This work which was written on commission from Count von Keyserling for his harpsichord player was used by the harpsichordist to lull the count, who suffered from insomnia. to sleep.
Since it was written for th? harpsichord, that instrument is the only one which can give the , intended musical 'effect. The harpsichord is the forerunner of the piano. Its tone is produced by plucking rather than striking the strings. It has two keyboards, each producing a different tone quality. J Organ-like stops are also part of this unusual and very old instrument.
During the time of Bach, the harpsichord was very popular but last its popularity to the more modern piano. In recent years, however, the harpsichord has made a comeback,initiated by Mme. Ehlers and Mme. Landowska, her French teacher, on the European continent. At present it has become so popular that most of the European radio stations have a harpsichord as part of their broadcasting equipment.
“The harpsichord is an ideal instrument for radio broadcast- j ing." said Mme. Ehlers.
Playing the "Goldberg Varia- i t’ons” for the first time for the BBC in London for their Bach fest'val in 1935, Mme. Ehlers was not satisfied with her technique despite the ovation received from | the audience. She did not play I the .piece again until 1945 for one I of the Evenings on the Roof series , and her performance was highly j lauded by audience and critics a-like. Monday’s concert will mark ; her third rendition of this work.
Admission for this concert, sponsored by the Hancock Foundation and the School of Music, will be by ticket which can be obtained from the music office or the Hancock building, free of charge.
