We have all known that fromSouth America have sprung- pian-ists and vocalists- of the highestrank, and we are almost too famil-iar with the popular songs anddances of our neighbors to theSouth; but it is1 not so commonlyrealized that musical culture ofthe highest degree exists in thegreat cities of South America, andthat such musical compositions asthose brought before us Sundayhave been created by musicians ofLatin America. Mr. Carlo, who- hasgiven much attention to the studyof this music in recent years, spokeat some length upon the field ingeneral, and added to the pleasureof the occasion by comments uponmany of the composers and theirlrusic.

The program was well varied,ranging- from Sonatas, composedfor the violin and piano to tran-scriptions of songs and lightermusic. The composers, chosen froma surprisingly large field, accord-ing to the lecturer, included repre-sentatives from Mexico, Cuba, Bra-zil and Argentina. It goes withoutLaying that the music was wonder-fully well performed, by Mr. andMrs. Carlo, to whom technical diffi-culties seem not to exist.

standards whose study of her com-poser was displayed with technicalresource and interpretative facili-ty. Dr. Moore has the happy facul-ty of warming up her audience, afaculty which is especially an assetin playing an entire program ofone composer.

Dr. Moore has selected the fol-lowing three Sonatas, Op. I l l in CMinor, Op. 78 in F Sharp major,and Opus 53 in C Major. All arefrom the latter period of Beeth-oven's career. The first of these isthe last Sonata which the masterwrote for piano alone. All threeare characterized by a joyous spiritwhich is thought to have been areflection of the inner developmentwhich was intensified by his deaf-ness. That Beethoven himself wasconscious of his own domination ofhis infirmity and composed with amagnificent courage and faith is<substantiated by his statement:"He who understands my musicmust thereby go free of all miserywhich others bear about withthem."

Tickets for the recital this eve-ning may be secured at the. door.

The thermometer at the CityHall Thursday morning showed atotal of $6,000 toward the goal of$14,000 in Winter Park's Communi-ty Fund drive. It is urgently re-quested that all who have not con-tributed do not longer delay.

Why the welfare load is heavierthis year than before was explainedby Mrs. U. T. Bradley before alarge audience at the Woman'sClub Wednesday in her talk on"Social Problems of 1946".

IS IT MUSIC? A NOTE OFCHAVEZ

The well varied, program of"Contemporary Latin - AmericanMusic", superbly performed by theviolinist, Alphonse Carlo and Kath-erine Carlo, pianist, at the Wom-an's Club Sunday evening, closedwith the "Sonata-Fantasie" byVilla-Lobos of Brazil, the foremostcomposer and musical educator ofLatin America, if not of all theAmericas. This sonata is skillfullywritten and well adapted to bothpiano and violin. It is sufficientlynovel, it is lucid, abounding inbeauty, if one is allowed in thesedays to use the term, and it ap-peals to both the intellect and theemotions.

In antipodal contrast to the Vu-la-Lobos Sonata, was the Sonatinaby the Mexican composer and con-ductor, Carlos Chavez, who createda somewhat short lived sensationin the United States some tenyears ago. So sharp is this con-trast, that one may well ask, re-garding the Chavez number "Isthis music ? " If music may still bedefined as the "tonal art", the ques-tion is debatable; for tone, in muchof the piano work—chromatic ofc" urse, terribly difficult, aboundingin discordant clangs—tone, per se,was virtually ignored by the com-poser and by compulsion by thevery skillful and faithful pianist.Still more so was this true of muchof the work assigned to the tor-tured violin—tortured not by thetalented violinist, but by the com-poser; for there were passages forth^ violin in which only a trumpetin F could have made itself effec-tively heard. But if music is to bedefined as the "universal lan-guage" in its broadest sense, theSonatina, and the offerings of jazzbands, and of radio organs as oftenplayed, as well as Bach, andFranck. and Villa-Lobos, may bestyled "music".

Several persons who were favor-ably impressed by the Chavez num-ber the other evening claimed thatit well depicted the excitement and

confusion of a Mexican "fiesta."To me it recalled my one experi-ence as a jazz player. While thetwo pianists and the violinist didtheir best to render the writtenmusic, the cellist was producingfrightful squeaks by sliding up anddown the cello strings and I wasbanging away on a snare drum,"tumultuoso, ad libitum."

As the sonatina drew to a violentclose, I recalled the remark of KarlBaerniann,-, the.. distinguished, Bps-•tin- pianist;1;.who,, after the Sym-phony Orchestra had performed anultra-modern work, was heard tomutter, "Now I will go home andwash out nay ears with a littleMozart." I even envied the marsu-pial, which according to the defini-tion of the small boy, "has a sackon its strmach into which it crawlswhen danger impends." I sympa-thized with the Hebrew prophet,who exclaimed "Though thou washthee with nitre and take muchsoap, yet thine iniquity is markedbefore me."

here should give credit wherecredit belongs. They should appre-ciate the fact that all the interest-ing people, the lectures, concerts,plays, beautiful chapel services,art galleries and museums arehere because Hamilton Holt madea success of Rollins College. Thesethings have attracted the kind ofpeople you find in Winter Park andthey have made it a city of beau-tiful homes.

Now that the College MUSTbring its plant up to the require-ments of its students there shouldbe no question as to liberal finan-cial support for the $575,000 Ex-pansion Program.

Looking at the picture from an-other angle, it is important to learnthat the success of Rollins Collegeis not due alone to the ability ofDr. Holt to raise money. Themoney helped, but it is the popu-larity of Dr. Holt with the studentbody that has been the biggest fac-tor in building up Rollins. WinterPark Topics believes that the per-sonality of Dr. Holt and his rela-tion to the students should be bet-ter known, and so it proposed thequestion to a college student: Whyis Rollins so popular as a college?Tha answer follows:

Why is it that Rollins is so popu-lar as a college? What makes stu-dents come from all over the coun-try to go> to Rollins? Of course,one reason is that Rollins is an in-telligent college with high scholas-tic standards, but the biggest draw-ing card Rollins has is it's presi-dent: Dr. Hamilton Holt. EveryRollins student who goes home onvacation gives glowing accounts ofRollins, and it's president, who is

like no other college president inthe country.

Dr. Holt is not a remote, drypedant, interested only in the busi-ness of running an important col-lege. He is; a "swell guy" with alively sense of humor and fun.Above all, he is interested in thestudents; he is always ready totake care of them, talk to them, orjust have fun with them.

Whenever there is a party at thecollege. Dr. Holt is sure to be there,with his famous tin flute, leadingthe students in singing Yale andRollins songs. (Dr. Holt is one ofYale's1 most enthusiastic alumni,and thanks to him, the studentsknow the Yale songs almost as wellas they know their own Rollinssongs.)

Dr. Holt's friendly interest in thestudents and their activities wasshown recently when a small riotbroke out at the college. The fresh-men had revolted against the haz-ing by the upperclassmen, and theupperclassmen had threatened tothrow the freshmen in the lake.There was a lively water fight go-ing on when Dr. Holt arrived onthe scene. First he went over tothe freshmen, and told them thatthey were absolutely right in ob-jecting to the seniors' treatment,and then he went over to the sen-iors, and told them that theyshouldn't let the freshmen get awaywith this. The result was* that thefun raged for another hour or so,with Dr. Holt as a highly appreci-ative spectator.

Dr. Holt's sense of humor, andlove of practical pokes is illus-trated by the story of the Shakes-pearean sonnet. A few years ago,Dr. Holt sent a sonnet, by a poet"who wished to remain nameless,"to a poetry magazine. In reality,the poem was a little known sonnetof Shakespeare's. The editor of themagazine, guessing that Dr. Holthad written the poem, sent back along and detailed criticism, and ex-pressed the hope that the poetwould not be too discouraged bythe rejection of the poem for pub-lication. Whereupon, Dr. Holt wroteback an indignant letter from"Shakespeare" on Mt. Parnassus,which, in elaborate Elizabethanlanguage, defended his sonnet.

A few years ago, in Dr. Holt'soffice, there was a large cushion,autographed with many signatures,all of which had the name Eliza-beth or Betty. When asked, Dr. Holtsaid that the cushion was from hislaunch, "Betty Co-ed", and he hadobtained the signature of everygirl in Rollins whose name wasBetty, to decorate the cushions ofthe launch. It is incidents such asthese that make Dr. Holt admiredand loved by every student; he isthe kindly and dignified head of theRollins family.
