Leonard Warren Gives
Civic Music Concert
Leonard Warren, baritone of the
Metropolitan Opera Association,
presented the fourth concert of the
local Civic Music series January 21.
Much of his program was drawn
from the operatic repertory, and he
was at his best in this department,
notably in the Credo from Verdi’s
Otello. Mr. Warren’s interpreta
tions of numbers requiring more
subtlety and less bombust (such as
his French group) were competent
but not outstanding.
The artist’s excellent diction was
at all times evident, but the vast
s])aces of the auditorium dealt
harshly with a beautiful voice, rob
bing it of much of its richness and
color.
Mr. Warren was expertly accom
panied by Willard Sektberg who
also appeared as a soloist, giving a
beautiful rendition of a Schubert
Impromptu and a most eccentric in
terpretation of a Brahms Rhapsody.
The audience liked the encores
and was rewarded with several, in
cluding the Prologue to Pagliacci
which has been heard here before.

ing, principally for science” and for
an addition to the endowment of
Saint Mary’s, according to.Winston

raising campaign. One half of the

Hughes’ home. The other half will
be added to the unrestricted endow
ment fund of Saint Mary’s. The
j^resent endowment of Saint Mary’s
is $212,000.
The active solicitation period will
begin about Aj)ril 15 and will con
tinue until the full objective is sub
scribed. Preparation for the effort
began January 7 here at Saint
Mary’s.
The quota will be raised through
the efforts of volunteer workers in
the five North and South Carolina
Episcoi)al dioceses that own Saint
Mary’s. Communicants of the Epis
copal Church, alumnae, and friends
of Saint Mary’s will be asked to
contribute.
Mr. McClellan, whose office is in
East Rock, directs the fund-raising
campaign, under the guidance of
the Board of Trustees and Dr.
Stone. Mr. McClellan is vice-presi
dent of a firm of fund-raising coun
selors whose offices are in New York

fice a floor j)lan and a model of the
2)i'oposed building.
The two floors of the new class
room building will contain four
classrooms, four faculty offices, a
biology laboratory, a chemistry lab
oratory, and other facilities. The
library will use the s])ace now occu-
])ied by the science classrooms and
laboratories.
The campaign now underway is
the first building program under
taken by the school since 1S)44 when
funds were subscribed for the boiler
iffant and for landscaping the
