DR. HENRY RISNER
SPEAKS AT VESPERS
The Art of Living
Dr. Henry Kisner, one of the
twelve most famous pastors, spoke
at Vespers Sunday evening on “The
Art of Living.”
The Salvation of character is
thought. This statement may be
based on Phil. 4:8; “Whatsoever
things are true, honorable, pure,
lovely, and of good report.” Think
on these things. Whatever one
studie,s will some day be of some
use. Wordsworth said, “Life re
quires an art which our souls must
bend.” Two things which must go
into the art of living, are sincerity
and inspiration. It is an art of
thinking to be able to reduce be
wildering things, to know how to
command a situation, to understand
and interpretate and to discriminate.
If we want religious inspiration we
must have perception which may be
pity, commercial, for show, or for
love which is conception.
Salvation of character in our con
ception of Christ rests upon open
ness, sensitivenes, pity, self respect,
and independence or the width and
breadth of service one can do. Sal
vation of the fine art of thinking is
in thinking. As a result we have an
ideal which is an idea ^vith which
we live.
Elizabeth Barrett Browning said,
“It takes a soul to move a body.”
The Minneapolis Symphony Or
chestra, under the direction of
Eugene Ormandy, internationally
famous conductor, presented a con
cert in Reynolds Memorial Auditor
ium, Monday night, February 4, at
8:30.
The concert, which was the third
presentation under the auspices of
the Civic Music Association, was en
joyed by “one of the greatest con
cert audiences ever assembled in
Koynolds Auditorium.” Salem Col
lege and Academy were very well
j represented both by students and
faculty.
The oj)ening number on the pro
gram was Kichard Wagner’s Over
ture to “The Flying Dutchman.”
This was followed by four move
ments of the Tschaikowsky Sym
phony No. 4 in F. minor. The three
compositions played after the inter
mission were “Don Juan'’ by Bich
ard Strauss, Scherzo Capriccioso by
Anton Dvorak and “ Jablotchko, ” a
Russian Sailors’ Dance taken from
the ballet, “The Red Poppy” by
Gliere.
The encores that the orchestra
played for a very appreciative audi
ence were: “Songs My Mother
Taught Me,” by Dvorak, a pizzicoti
number, and the favorite “Blue
Danube Waltz” by Richard Strauss.
The Minneapolis Symphony Or
chestra is directly affiliated with the
University of Minnesota and is now
in its thirty-second season. It has
more than a hundred pieces.

dents; Mrs. Morton Omit
ted Through Error
Dr. Rondthaler read in chapel the

first honor roll, was not included in
the chapel reoding. Mrs. Morton is
to bo congratulated along with the
other sixty-five honor students. The
office force in the registrar’s office
is also to bo commended for sending
out the list so quickly at a time
when many other things are being
arranged there.
The list, corrected, is as follows:

ALUMNAE WEEK-END
IS BIG SUCCESS
Entertainment Is Enjoyed
By AU
From the moment the first alum
na set her foot on this familar
ground till the last alumnae left, last
week-end was a grand success. Be
ginning with the I. R. S. Banquet
Friday night events came fast and
furious. The alumnae meeting, the
academy breakfast, the visiting of
classes, expanded chapel on Satur
day, the day student’s tea, the
trustees and alumnae dinner, the
moving pictures, and the party all
contributed toward making the en
tire time a wonderful round of en
tertainment.
Two talented alumnae, or should
I say two of the many talented alum
nae added to the pleasure of the
occasion by giving violin solos and
by singing. Iji expand)ed chapel
Miss Rebecca Hines presented to Dr.
Rondthaler in a most unique way
the repapering and painting of South
Hall that the day students have
done. She gave him samples of each
kind of paper and paint that was
used.
Mention must be made of the
clever dinner Saturday night at
which the trustees were presented
to the school as movie stars. Miss
Elizabeth Jerome drew the ideal
trustee by taking various features
of each one and making from them
a whole.
Dr. Rondthaler expressed his ap
preciation in chapel on Tuesday for
all the work and infinite care that
students, faculty and other help took
to make the week-end as big a suc
cess as it really w’as.

The Glee Club oiwned the pro
gram by singing two numbers in
Latin: “Ecce Panis” and “Christus
Factus, ’ ’ written by Cyre de Brant.
These were followed by “Dear Land
of Home,” written by Sibelus. An
other musical feature was a violin
solo, played by Mrs. Laura H. Nor-
den, visiting alumna.
Dr. Rondthaler explained briefly
about the founding of Salem College.
Four men, Frederick William de
Marshall, John JI. Graff, Paul
Tiersch, Richard Utley, representing
Saxony, Franconia, Germany and
Yorkshire England, determined to
give girls and young women educa
tional opportunities equal with those
of men, in 1772 established the col
lege.
Miss Mary Penn, representing the
Scorpians, then introduced the
speaker. Dr. Charles Myers. He spoke
of the greatness of the personalities
of the pioneers who founded Salem
College, and of their determination.
They as great people of today, were
not controlled by fear of the conse
quences, or by fear of not following
tho way of the crowd. To develop
fine personalities we need, first, faith
in God. Notions which have had
faith in God have never been ruined.
Just as Jesus showed deep interest
in the people with whom he came in
contact, people today should re-
•spond deeply and quickly to the
things around them. Many times
people have failed Him, yet he con
tinues to trust them. Second, there

the Seniors’ dinner. The dining
room was beautifully arranged and
softly lit by candles. Each trustee
was introduced as a movie hero by
a senior, and Mademoiselle Libby
Jerome, the famous French painter,
sketched a picture of the senior idol,
choosing the outstanding features of
the different Trustees.
The Senior Class sang an original
•song to the tune of “Lady Play
Your Mandolin.”
Dusty are the desert lands
Crusty are the ocean strands
Lusty now we clap our hands
Trustee here’s to you!
Gusty are all movie fans
Bust balloons, strike up the bands
Just see how we clap our hands
Trustee, here’s to you!
Mary Penn was quite charming in
her role as toastmistress, and her
witty remarks kept the guests laugh
ing until the last crumb of apple pie
had disappeared.
