THE i j'ifjj j ji* 7*Q ; ': ''' y ';,',.. '/ '' i ' K A.. Volume IV MUNDELEIN COLLEGE, CHICAGO, ILLINOIS, APRIL 30, 1934 No. 11 Orchestra Will Appear In Concert on May 6 Eleanore Solewska Will Be Feature Violinist of Group With the strains of the stately Militaire Symphonic by Haydn, known among musi cians as the inventor of the symphony, the annual Orchestra concert will open on Sunday evening, May 6. The Orchestra concert marks the cli max of long months of practice and of semi-public and public performances at functions sponsored by the various classes and organizations of the College. Eleanore Solewska, violinist, is concert soloist for the evening, and will play, among other numbers, the Concerto in D M inor by Wieniawski. Feature Mendelssohn Number The entire program has not yet been announced, but several of the more in teresting numbers have been revealed. Especially interesting is the Die Fingal- shohle by Mendelssohn. The title, in Gaelic, means Cave of Music, which is supposed to be located on the uninhabited isle of Staffa off the west coast of Scot land. The waves of the ocean are thun derous as they surge in and out of the narrow arch which forms the gateway, causing resounding echoes. The beauties of the deserted cave are reproduced in sound in the selection, which embodies an exquisite interpretation of the play of sunshine on the yellow, crimson, and white stalactites which stud the cavern. Play Tschaikowsky March Tschaikowsky's Marche Slave, a selec tion rich in historical significance, will close the concert. The march was written in 1876, the year of the war between Tur key and Scrvia, and was played at a great concert arranged by Nicholas Rubinstein for the benefit of the wounded soldiers. The composition opens with a dirge-like chant; presently a gay folk song is heard on the oboe, then taken up by the other wood-winds, until the whole Orchestra carries it to a wonderful climax. In the trio of the Marche, the rhythm of the Russian anthem will be noticed, and it will occur again in the coda ending. The concert on May 6 will be the fourth annual program sponsored by the College Orchestra, which gained distinction only last week in a program given before the Knights of Columbus at the Palmer House. North Central Meeting Attracts Many Educators The President, the Dean, the Registrar, heads of the various departments, and other members of the Faculty attended the thirty-ninth annual meeting of the North Central Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools held at the Ste vens Hotel, April 18-21. An address on Higher Education and Its Present Possibilities, by President Lo tus C. Coffman, University of Minnesota, and on Education and the General Social Order, by Dr. Charles Hubbard Judd, head of the department of education, Uni versity of Chicago, were among the in teresting lectures on the program. Among the distinguished educators who attended the convention were G. E. Carrothcrs, director of the bureau of co operation with educational institutions, University of Michigan; H. M. Gage, president, Coe college, Cedar Rapids, Iowa, and George A. Works, dean of students and university examiner, Uni versity of Chicago. ELEANORE SOLEWSKA Songs and Singer Star in Qlee Club Concert on May 11 Among the attractions of the Glee club concert scheduled for May 11, are Kath leen Kersting, the guest artist, who is a prominent opera singer, the program itself, which contains selections from Mendelssohn, Tschaikovsky, Rachmanin off, a Brahms waltz, an early English madrigal, and some clever Chinese nur sery rhymes, and finally, the participants themselves, who will be charmingly gowned in summer formals. The opening number is Light of Dawn ing, an arrangement in song of the well- known Andante Cantabile from Tschaik- ovsky's fifth symphony. Following this is the haunting Valse Pathetique by Aren- sky, and the group concludes with My Bonny Lass, an early English song by Thomas Morley. The classical school is represented by Mendelssohn. A trio composed of Nona Peters, Frances Mikkelson, and Evelyn O'Brien will sing his Beati Omnes, and a double quartet will sing Surrexit Chris- tus, with the whole Glee club singing the choral responses for both of them. The group composed of Chinese Mother (Continued on page 4, col. 5) Students Visit Cardinal On Feast of St. Qeorge His Eminence, George Cardinal Munde lein. received four members of the senior class at the Chancery Office, on April 24, who called to tender the congratulations of the College on the Feast day af his patron, St. George.

The room itself, resplendent with gilded ornaments and sparkling crystal chandeliers, formed an inpressive setting for the fast-filling tables. Toward the close of the evening the strains of the Mundelein College Orches tra called attention to the anticipated style show wherein beautifully dressed girls in formal gowns, suits, afternoon frocks, and furs paraded down the plat form in the focus of brilliant spotlights.

Fulton Sheen Will Give Baccalaureate Address -o LECTURES HERE -4 gt; SHANE LESLIE Shane Leslie Tells Historic Romance of English Queen By Evelyn Lincoln Ah, it was a grand romance that of Mrs. Fitzherbert and George, Prince of Wales, afterwards George IV of Eng land John Randolph Shane Leslie, lit erary authority, journalist, author, and story-teller supreme, brought that lovely Catholic lady, Mrs. Fitzherbert, to life again, and, with a sense of climax that was amazing, kept the audience strained to catch his slightest word. First outlining the difficulties endured by Catholics during the period into which Mrs. Fitzherbert was bora in 1750, Mr. Leslie proceeded to tell of the early years of the White Rose of England, of her successive marriages to two elderly Cath olic gentlemen, Mr. Weld and Mr. Fitz herbert, and of her second widowhood at the age of 25. Then Mr. Leslie began the strange ly beautiful romance of Mrs. Fitzher bert and the Prince of Wales. He pic tured for us the lovely widow meeting the gay young heir to the English throne, (Continued on page 4, col. 4) Papal Legate To Peru Is Quest of College His excellency, the Most Reverend Gaetano Cicognani, Papal Nuncio to Peru and Archbishop of Ancyra, vis ited the College on April 24, accompan ied by the Very Reverend Monsignor Egidio Vagnozzi, secretary to the Apos tolic Delegation to the United States, and by the Reverend Gregory Cloos of Holy Name Cathedral. After touring the building, the Arch bishop left the following message: I bless heartily the Sisters of Charity, B.V.M., of Mundelein College, and I pray that their work may successfully con tribute to show the beautiful harmony between Religion and Science. His excellency is the brother of the Most Reverend Giovanni Cicognani, Papal Delegate to the United States, who vis ited the College last November. Mon signor Vagnozzi was also a guest of the College at that time. General Faculty, Juniors, and Seniors March in Procession The Reverend Fulton J. Sheen, Ph. D., professor of philosophy at the Catholic University of America, noted writer, and radio speaker on the Catholic Hour, will deliver the Baccalaureate sermon in the College auditorium on Sunday, May 13, at four p. m. Father Sheen, whose radio addresses for the past few years have met with en thusiastic acclaims from listeners in all parts of the country, is the cousin of Justine Feely, a member of the senior class and editor of the Skyscraper. His literary ability is evidenced in his numerous works, among which are the well-known God and Intelligence, Relig ion Without God, The Life of All Liv ing, Moods and Truths, and Old Errors and New Labels. The Baccalaureate Sunday ceremony will begin with a procession, in which the juniors will lead, followed by the seniors, and finally by the general Fac ulty members, wearing collegiate caps and gowns, while Bach's Processional provides the musical setting. When all are seated in the auditorium, the Glee club, under the direction of Pro fessor Walter Flandorf, will open the program with two numbers by Mendels- shon, Laudate Pueri Dominum and Sur rexit. Immediately before the sermon, Her man J. Beringer will direct the Orchestra in Mozart's Overture. The ceremony will culminate in Benediction of the Most Blessed Sacrament. Following Benediction, the students and Faculty will withdraw in procession, after which seven representatives of the students together with the non-resident members of the Faculty will be guests of the College at a banquet at the Belden- Stratford Hotel. To Work or Not to Work That is the Question Even the critic judges could not agree about the adoption of the proposed child labor amendment, when the semi-finals in the freshman debate contest were held on April 20. Thomas Byrnes, critic judge from Lo yola university, gave his decision in fa vor of Helen Sheehan, Mary Houlihan, and Rita Tatge of affirmative Team C, and Louis Tordella, also of Loyola, de cided in favor of negative team B, com posed of Mary Rose Brownt Agnes Gro- gan, and Margaret Cleary. And so the question to work or not to work remains unsettled for another fortnight. The finals in this first annual freshman contest will be held in the audi torium at 11 o'clock next Friday. Three intercollegiate debates have been scheduled for the coming month, but members of the different teams have not yet been announced. Two debates will be held with Mar quette university on the powers of the President question, but the dates have not yet been settled. One debate will be held in Chicago, and one in Milwaukee. A radio debate has been arranged with the Chicago Law School. The date will be announced later.
