Fall Concerts
Opens at Salem
Dean Vardell and Schofield
Give Delightful Program
The fall scries of concerts by the
Salem College School of Music open
ed on a high note last Monday night
with a recital by Dean Charles G.
Vardell Jr., organist, and Ernest
Leslie Schofield, baritone.
Performing to a keenly appre
ciative audience in a program
which was also broadcast over
Radio Station WS.fS,these two ar
tists offered a musical entertainment
that set an unusually high standard
for future ev-ents of its kind.
Dean Vardell opened the program
with the “Grande Piece Sympho-
nique”in three movements by Cesar
Franck. The orchestral impres;
secured by -Mr. Vardell and the
beautiful singing quality which he
obtained throughout the piece, added
to the skill of the organist, united to
])roduce a magnificent effect. The
first movement ended in a quiet
ner which was taken up in the
ond and continued for a bit before
ie became more animated and ended
in the sweet, slow, measured m;
ner in which the movement begi
The third movement rose to grand
er heights than the first
concluded in a colorful burst of
majestic harmony.
Mr. Schofield, head of the v(
department, did an unusually
teresting bit of programming m
presenting as his opening group
four songs by Richard Strauss. F-y
many, Strauss is considered the
logical successor to Richard Wag
ner as the leading genius of mod
ern times. Whereas his instrumen
tal compositions arc well known to
all music lovers, his songs
dom heard, although many of them
rank with the great songs of the
masters. The four songs selected
for this group were “Morg
“Allerscelen,” Traum Durch
Daemmerung.” and “Zucignung.’
The first selection in Mr. Var-
dell’s second group, “Colloquy With
the Swallows,” by M. Enrico Bossi,
was played with a keen apprecia"*
and understanding of these ’
feathered musicians of the aii
“Choral Prelude” of Brahm;

The
Y Association Offers Many
Privileges in Spiritual Phase
Of Student’s Life
The Y. W. C. A. at Salem Col-
ege is a group of girls who unite
n tlie desire to realize full and ere-
itive life through a growing knowl-
:dgc of God, wlio desire to have a
jart in making this life possible for
all people, and in this task seeking to
:and Jesus and follow Hi
In striving to reach this goal, the
of the group cease to be a S'
of listed tasks but rather the atl
a few steps of progres
becoming the persons they would like
' ving the kind of lives they
would like to live. Then, it ceases
to be an organization and becomes
At no time is it the desire of the
association to have a program of ac
tivities which is inflexible and ar
bitrary. The need which it is fill
ing is' the sin qua non of the con
tinuance of each activity. If the
Vesper services are fulfilling their
purpose they should afford an op
portunity oi' real worship and in
spiration to every girl who attends.
If such is not the case, they are n
failure either in interpreting the
need of the students, or in making
the students realize that thei
place in every life for some type
of worship. Association is worship,
and in a feeling of spiritual fel
lowship is on of the first aims of
the Y. W. C. A., which is an at
tempt to understand Jesus and
through I-Iini to attain a greater
knowledge of God.
Miss Hastings Makes Delight
ful Talk On “The Magic
Square”
The Mathematics Club held its
first meeting for the year, Wednes
day night in the Campus Living
Room of the Alice Clewell Build
ing. Part of the time was devoted
to a business session in which ph
for the club’s activities for the pres
ent year were discussed.
After a brief business meeting,
Miss Hastings made an unusually
interesting talk on “The Magic
Square.” Miss Hastings introduced
lier subject by pointing out the dif
ferences in the ignorant and the edu
cated person. The ignorant person
believes anything he sees and hears,
but the educated person must have
proof and reason for everything.
Miss Hastings stated that this cu
riosity and scepticism of the learned
have caused many such puzzles
.Magic Squares, of varying degrees
of difficulty to be solved.
Although the Mathematics Club,
as yet, has not fully concluded its
plans for the year, the program
promises to be one of novelty and

History Club Visits
Old Battleground
Interesting Trip taken to One
of South’s Most Famous
Battlegrounds
If one happened to be out in front
of Main Hall on Tuesday afternoon
st have noticed a big yellow
bus which was awaiting a crowd of
jolly Salem girls whi
o’clock, scrambled on in a wild flur-
V' and were gone!
Members of the History Club,
■ith Dr. Anscombe as guide, visited
Guilford College and the Guilford
Battleground. At the college the
party enjoyed tea which

After the refre.shments the group
went to the battleground. There is
a life-sized statue of (ieneral Na-
tlianiel (ireene, which has been erect
ed as a memorial of the outstanding
part played by liim in the American
Revolution. It is especially fitting
that the monument has been placed
on the Battleground because it was
on this verv ground that Greene
brought about the turning point in
the war. He played a strateg-ic
game by making the already weaken

Expanded Chapel
Relations of Education and
Religion Subject for
Interesting Address
In Expanded Chapel Wednesday
;norning Parson Moss of Chapel
Hill, gave the students a new and
interesting view' of the relations be
tween religion and education in mod-
Dr. Moss has had wide
experience with young men and
women; consequently he presented
his counsel and advice in a delight-
y informal manner which gave
audience a chance not only to
follow his thought but to think with
Parson Moss’s talk centered
■ound the question “What differ-
ice docs it make whether a man or
Oman is religious or not?” and
the quotation from II Corinthians,
“Whilst we are at home in the body
we are absent from tRc Lord.” The ’
dualism of God seems utterly con-
tractdictory to the Christian ideal of
■orld with the material and the
spiritual combined in mankind, yet
the ancient conception was of two
separate and distinct worlds with
God in one and man in the other.
The beauty of the modern belief lies
in tlie power of man to be aware of
God in the material world as iden
tical with the spiritual.
Religion is not wholly faith. It
is seeing God face to face. The ex-
])crience of seeing Him gives mean
ing to our religious phrasing. Re
ligion means seeing values—distin
guishing between the material and
the ideal, the human and the divine,
the major and the minor, the large
and the small. It causes the human
being to see the ideal in the material
—not as something foreign and tack-
1, but rooted and grounded in
ginning a second
reality his forces were not
enough for anytliing but ;

Dr. Anscombe gave an interesting
talk concerning the places where the
English and American lines v

cidents occurring in connection a

,atcr in the evening a delightful
of-door picnic was cooked and
served, making a perfect ending for
‘ an enjoyable journey
our lives
In a cross section of 24 hours of
our everyday life there is much ma
terialism. 'True religion rises above
the material and little things of life;
tlie truly religious man is never con
tent with second best.
Religion and education should not
be in conflict; the Kingdom of God
combined with the material in

•er-estiniated in both church and
■bool, is not significant in itself,
:)r arc human beings the bundles
of desires with pleasure as their
lief aim that such a system if
irried to the extreme, as it some-
mes is, w’ould produce. There is
lat which is divine in each one of
i that should lift individual edu
cation above the training in cunning
to outwit our neighbors that purely
material teachings gives.
Religion gives exchange of values
the true sense to the business
will.
