University of Knowledge, Inc. Chicago, 1940. Curtain going up! Programs enjoy a last minute flutter, and the audience lends itself to the hypnotism of the artists’ skill. As you have sat there weaving strange new fancies, haven’t you wished you could recreate the beginnings of music, and fol low its exciting course through the years? The author of this book. Pro fessor of Musical Theory and Composition at De Paul Univer sity, Chicago, does just this for us. First, he lets himself conjec ture the first yearnings of men for melody. Then he sketches the unfolding of music through the centuries, through the de velopment of National schools of musical thought. Next he selects and interprets the great forms of musical com position. He describes the in struments of the orchestra and the quality each adds to the whole, then analyses the great est symphonic works. If to you opera is a closed door, you will enjoy his story of its growth, and the condensation of great operas. Chamber music will no longer be a forgotten art after he has told of its beauty; ballet’s visual charm and the familiar piano have their deeper values shown. How about these tempera mental men with frock coats and bushy hair we associate with great musical works? Their lives are sketched briefly—one chapter for those of past eras, and one for those who are now blazing new trails in musical ex pression. Never let it be said’that the versatile author excluded any thing in this amazing volume- the book closed with a glossary of musical terms for future ref erence. You will And “Music and its Makers*’ an intensely interesting book, the type you’ll want to keep beside your phono graph or radio, and make part of your own experience. Doris Jean Bowman.

"FALLEN ANGEL" ALICE FAYE DANA ANDREWS “How Can I Find God?” Leslie D. Weatherhead. In thi shook, “How Can I Find God?” Leslie D. Weatherhead writes of the way through which a revelation of God can come to the individual. Before the question, how we can And God, is answered, the answer must be found to an other question. This question is, are we hiding from God? First ly, are we hiding from Him in refusing to repent? Secondly, are we hiding from Him in in tellectual quest? Thirdly, are we hiding from Him in service to men? Fourthly, are we hid ing from Him in our familiarity with religion? Fifthly, are we hiding from Him in misusing re ligion to evade reality? Sixthly, are we hiding from God in a re fusal of right relations with man? And lastly, are we hiding from Him behind other closed doors such as disguised selfish ness, a love of sin equal to a love of righteousness, a fear of what people say and think, and a sus picion that the worldling is hav ing a better time than the Chris tian. Then comes the question, how can I find God? Can we find God in service to men? Can we find Him in the services and sacraments of the church? Can we find him in nature? Can He really be found in the fullest sense in any, or all of these com mon ways. After these ques tions have been answered, how shall we know we have found Him? Is a feeling that we have found Him sufficient proof that we have? Weatherhead’s book answers all of these questions, many of which are in the hearts and minds of modern Christians, and in doing so is able to clarify many of their doubts. Maxine Bissette.

For Drugs and Prompt Delivery Dial 7741 The Dependable Drug Store STATIONERY : COSMETICS STATE DRUG STORE 2416 Hillsboro Street DILLARD BEAUTY SHOP 3102^ Hillsboro Street Dial 2-1232 ‘Make Appointments Early’’ By Marilynn Ferrell Dear Santa: Here it is time again for Jin gle Bells, fragrant trees, “White Christmas,” glittering o r n a- ments, gay wrappings and “Silent Night.” Already tiny trees are blossoming with fragile balls of color in the rooms here at Meredith, and everywhere we turn pictures of candy canes. Snowy Scenes, angels and hearty “Merry Christmas” greetings stare back at us from doors. We’ve even seen some pictures of you, San ta, scattered here and there. And seeing your picture re minded us that we hadn’t writ ten our Christmas letter to the North Pole, even though Christ mas Day is only a bus ride and a week away. We have so many things that we’d like you to bring to Meredith this year that we really should have written weeks ago so that you could have started packing your bag in plenty of time. But they say that you can accomplish miracles, so we’ll just start list ing and trust you to find them all before the 24th. First, of course, just to start with we’d like all the wonderful things that they say are going to happen to Meredith in the future to happen right now so we can enjoy them, too. A brand new Chapel for Christmas to give the right atmosphere to our chapel programs would be perfect, and so would a new li brary and a new Bee-Hive and new classroom buildings and a large, splashy swimming pool and a huge gymnasium and new equipment for athletics and classrooms and — well, all the lovely things we’d like to have on our campus and dqn’t—-yet. And then we’d like to have— Oh, we just remembered! They tell us hetfe that We should be courteous and being courteous Counsellors Entertain Freshmen At Party The counsellor organization entertained the freshmen at a party in Phi Hall on December 12. A special program with the attractive and well - mannered girl as its theme was given. The name of the program was “Mere dith’s Passing Parade.” The par ty was from 7:30 until 8:15. Those in charge of arrange ments included Helen Wallis, di rector of program, and Nancy Gates, narrator. Members of the script commit tee included the following: Doris Carroll, Virginia Holcomb, and Barbara Johnson. The Counsellors’ Christmas Get Together was under the gen eral supervision of Flora Ann Lee as chief counsellor. we guess we’d better show a little gratitude for what we al ready have so then maybe you’ll be willing to bring us more. Since there seems to be so much fun and frolic in the air lately, perhaps we’d better start by saying thanks for the gaiety before Christmas. Finding and decorating Christmas trees, buy ing and wrapping presents, and stacking them under the tree until giving time gives as fes tive a touch to the heart as the presents to the room. Then, too, there’s such a good feeling in our hearts before Christmas — something that makes us feel like saying “thanks.” It’s not just the par ties, the color, the expectancy of going home, though those things add gaiety. It’s not “Dick on’s Christmas Carol” or “Jingle Bells” or even “Silent Night” and “Joy to the World” that gives us the feeling, though perhaps these things express the glow in our hearts better than we ever could. This emotion goes deeper than superficialities. It is connected with the story of a baby’s birth and a man’s tri umph over death, and it ex presses itself in friendliness, service, cheerfulness, and love. Come to think of it, there is something of that feeling here when it isn’t Christmas — the something that we call the spirit of Meredith. Funny, but we can’t seem to remember all the other things on our list to ask for. There seems to be nothing we lack which is half so important as what we have—the spirit of good will which belongs to Christmas and also belongs to Meredith. Without this feeling all the buildings in New York City would be emptier than a child’s stocking on the day after Christmas. So you use your pack, Santa, to take some of our, good will and that of Christmas to all the people and places that don’t know it. That’s what we really want for Christmas. Mer ry Christmas, Santa!
