SIDNEY LANIER: Poet and Musician After listening to Mr. Blair's lecture on Longfellow one Satur day evening, every one left the hall with a feeling of uplift, al most as if the gifted and noble man had been in our midst. The familiar lines quoted fell on the ear with new power and meaning. So evident was the enjoyment felt, that it leads us to hope that such a pleasure may come to us again and again. Since the famous group of New England poets to whom Longfellow belonged has passed away, it is generally thought that Sidney Lanier should occupy the first rank as an American poet. Born in Georgia in 1842, and his death occurring in this state in 1881, it would seem not unreasonable to hope that some one who knew him personal ly might bring liini close to us through the loving study of his life and writings. Who could ap peal to a greater variety of tastes? His many-sided nature is ex pressed in the words of a class mate of his junior year at college "Although passionately fond of music, both in theory and prac tice, even at that early age con ceded by all who had the pleasure of hearing him as the finest of flute players; although he was ever ready to show his love fer nature and art in their various forms and manifestations, yet lie was a persistent student, an oni niverous reader of books, and in his college classes was easily first in mathematics as well as in Ins other studies. He loved all the sciences. The purest fountains of Greek and Roman literature hvi nourished and led his youthful mind." He says of himself in a letter: ''l could play passably well on several instruments be fore I could write legibly, and since then the very deepest of my life has been filled with music" His devotion to music was as gen uine as it was remarkable, con sidering that tli-3 only instruction he ever had was from his mother, who taught him only the notes, and that his early life was spent in comniunitiei that regarded music as a mere pastime, and not as an art, worth; • of serious studv. His question: "What is the promise of music in the economy of the world?" is answered b\ himself thus: "Music is in com mon life what heat is in chemis try an all-pervading, ever-pres ent, mysterious genius. The car penter whistles to cheer his worl. the loafer whistles to cheer hi. idleness. Victory chants, do'eat wails; joy has galops, sorrow her dirges; patriotism shouts its Mar seillaise, and 10/e lives 011 nnwc for food, says Old Will. M .;*e over, the Chinese beats his gong, and the African his jaw-bone; the THE GUILFORDIAN Greek blew Dorian flutes; the Oriental charms serpents with his flageslet; German Mendelssoaii sends up saintly thanks; Polish Chopin pleads for a man's broken heart, and American Gottschalk fills the room full of great, sad eyed ghosts—all with the piano!" For six years iie was a member of the Peabody Symphony Ore-lies tra in Baltimore and his musical genius is thus recognizedjby Asger Hamerick, who was director at that time: "To him as a eh'ld in his cradle music was given, tV heavenly gift to feel and to ex press himself in tones In his hands the Ante no longer renu'ii ti ed a mere material instrummr. but was transformed into a veice that set heavenly harmonics into vibration. I will never forget the impression be made on me when lie played the flute concerto—his tall, handsome, manly presence, his flute breathing noble sorrows, noble joys, the orchestra softly re sponding. The audience was spell bound. Such distinction, such re finement! He stood, the master, the genius!" But with all his gifts, he be lieved with Dante, that the best conceptions cannot be, save where science and genius are. This be lief kept him from dwelling whol ly in the imagination, and was the secret of never-ceasing effort to 1 lie very close of his short life. The Joseph Moore Science Club held ils regular meeting on Wed nesday evening, November 17th. The general topic for discussion was "Milk and Its Relation to Public Health." Roy Blaylock spoke on the chemical composi tion of milk and showed experi mentally the method for deter mining the fat content of milk by the Babcock test. Callie Lewis then read a paper prepared by Clarice Newlin 011 the value of milk as a food material. In this paper the food value of skimmed milk was especially emphasized— for it was shown that the skim med milk is lacking only in the fat, and that this can easily be supplied by other food materials, thus cheapening the cost of the diet and still maintaining a bal anced ration. Mr. Downing then spoke of the precautions neces sary for the sanitary production of milk in order to keep it as free as possible from contamination. An interesting discussion follow ed in which some of the difficul ties arising from the practical ap plication of theoretical methods were discussed. The subject will be continued at the next meeting of the club. Mr. A. F. Zachery, 'l3, spent Saturday and Sunday with his brother Thompson, who is in school here. SCIENCE CLUB J. W.
