MAY DAY DANCES
ARE IN PRACTICE
“Let’s try that last step again.
Begin at the half-turn.” “Dance
number 2 will practice in Bitting
Building tonight at 6:30.” “How
long are the skirts of the costumes
for Dance 4 supposed to be?” All
these are remarks to be heard every
day now, and they refer—as we have

Saturday afternoon.

Facsimile of First Printed
Music Book
The library has recently acquired
and put on exhibition a fac.similc
copy of ‘ ‘ Harmonice Musices Odhe-
caton A,” which was the first music
book to be printed from movable
type, being the first work of Otta-
viano dS Petrucci, an illustrious
Italian music printer and the father
of the art of type-music-printing.
‘ ‘ Harmonico Musices Odhecaton
A” was originalljf printed in Venice
in the year 1501. It is a collection
of ninety-six pieces arranged for
three or four voices, by eminent mu
sicians of the time. Petrucci’s pro
cess was a double one; he printed
first the lines of the stave, and
then, by a second impression, the
notes upon them. His work is beau
tifully executed.

The fuse was too .short and Na
poleon escaped. However, a large
quarter of J’aris was blasted and
a good many citizens rlied. Short-

for a convent are lighting the
evening candles. From the left:
