Dr. Vardell
Resigns As
Music Dean
Dr. Charles G. Vardell, Jr., dean
of the school of music at Salem,
has resigned his position here to
accept the post of dean of the con
servatory of music at Flora Mac
Donald College in Red Springs.
Dr. Vardell came to Salem 28
years ago to become head of the
piano department and five years
later was promoted to dean of the
school of music. He had previously
been dean of the conservatory of
music at Flora MacDonald.
Dr. Gramley said that the post
being vacated here is an important
one and that considerable care will
be taken in the selection of a dean
whose leadership will keep Salem’s
school of music as one of the best.
“Dr. Vardell’s resignation was
regretfully received,” Dr. Gramley
said. “We at Salem recognize and
appreciate so fully his long, faith
ful and exceptionally able services
to the school of music.”
Gramley Expresses Loss
“I feel personally a keen sense
of loss in his leaving,” stated pre
sident Gramley. “Since coming to
Salem as president, I have been
bolstered many times through his
personal assistance, his sound judg
ment, his willingness to do what
ever was asked and his great
loyalty.”
Dr. Vardell’s father is president
emeritus of Flora MacDonald. The
Salem dean received his early mus
ical training from his mother, who
founded the Flora MacDonald con
servatory of music. He later at
tended Princeton, where he was
graduated in 1914, and the Insti
tute of Musical Arts, now Juil-
liard.. He received his M. A. and
Ph. D. degrees at Eastman School
of Music.
Is Outstanding Composer
Regarded by many as North
Carolina’s leading composer, he
now has in his permanent posses
sion the Shirley Cup, awarded an
nually for the best work written
by a North Carolina composer. His
works include widely used com
positions for violin, piano and sym
phony orchestra. He has also writ
ten two cantatas, “The Inimitable
Lovers” and “Song in the Wilder
ness,” which was presented in cele
bration of Salem’s 175th anniver
sary.
Bishop Kenneth Pfohl, chairman
of the board of trustees, has ap
pointed a committee from the
board to acknowledge Dr. Vardell’s
services.
Four Pastors
Will Sing Here
The Rev. John S. Goserud, first

second tenor; the Rev. I. Howard
Chadwick, baritone, and the Rev.
Charles B. Adams, bass, will pre
sent a program of novelty, secular

May 1, 1951 in Chapel.
The quartet members all attended
Moravian College in Pennsylvania
where they were members of the
Glee Club. They, are now serving
Moravian churches in this city.
Miss Byrd Speaks
Miss Byrd spoke in chapel last
Tuesday on the “Nature of Man
In Contemporary Literature” using
Across the River and into the
Trees for her references.
The themes emerging from mo
dern literature, she concluded, were
belief in the work of the individual,
fear of betrayal of the individual,
the awareness of spiritual values
by authoratative government and
through wars.
