LARGE AUDIENCE
ATTENDS FIRST
FACULTYRECITAL
Pianist, Soloist and Violinist
Render Selections Highly Ap
preciated by Those Present
(. R. DeJournette)
Before a large audience in
Memorial Hall Sunday after
noon the first of the, weekly, re
citals arranged by the depart
ment of music for the summer
session was enjoyably presented.
The three faculty members to
gether with the accompanists,
McCorkle and Helena Troxell,
daughter of Charles Troxell,
gave a pleasing program.
Outstanding on the program
was Nelson Kennedy's masterful
reproductions of Fantasia, C
Minor by Bach ; and Caprice,
from "Alceste" by Gluck-Saint-Saens.
. His interpretation of
Caprice was especially absorbing
while his precision and deftness
of touch proved his ability as a
piano soloist. ' .
Mr. Troxell's opening melody,
Where'er. You Walk (Semele)
by Handel, . accompanied by
Helena Troxell, was impressive
ly rendered. He. sung the three
numbers, A Page Road Song, A
Memory Divine and Temple
Bells with exceptional ease and
emotional appeal. His interpre
tations of musical themes are
rare.
Mr. McCorkle's rendition of
Ballade and Polonaise by Vieux
temps called for. skill which he
readily supplied." " Accompanied
by Mrs. McCorkle at the piano,
he demands much praise. His
interpretation of La Golondrina
by Sarradell, showing the ro
mantic emotionality of the com
poser was the most pleasing of
his violin solos. .
Helena Troxell, the thirteen
year old daughter of the singer
impressed the audience with her
musical ability and her excep
tional poise. She received a just
and enthusiastic acclaim a short
while ago when she made her
first appearance here.

"The time has come when we
should bring the University sum
mer school men of distinctive
qualities with national reputa
tions ; we are still planning for
developments of the summer ses
sion," President Harry W. Chase
declared in the official opening
exercises Saturday morning in
Memorial Hall. Stating that
every effort is being made to
give the same instruction and
work during the summer as is
given during the regular term,
Dr. Chase said that the summer
school is fast becoming a fourth"
quarter in the University's work.
Dean N. W. Walker, Director
of Summer 1 School, addressed
the summer student body- and
made several announcements.
Music was had by the Chapel
Hill school band. Invocation was
given by Rev. Eugent Olive of
the Baptist church. :
"If we were to make a cross
section of this student body it
would prove exceedingly repre
sentative of life in the State of
North Carolina," Dr. Chase told
his- audience. "We are indeed
pleased to have students, teach
ers, and people from other prof
itable walks of life gather here
in the summer to engage in
worth while study. This Sum
mer School, the oldest in Amer
ica, wants to help you in every
way it can.
"Year by year, since the estab
lishment of the old "Summer
I Normal" here by Dr. Kemp P.
Battle in 1877, the Summer
School and the University have
come to be more closely tied to
gether. So much so, in fact, that
today this is more of a summer
session of the University than
it is a separate Summer School.
Less and less can you distinguish
between the work of the twoi
You are being given the same,
grade of instruction, , the same
care, and the same amount' of
work as students who come here
in the regular winter session."
Dr. N. W. Walker, who has
been director of the Summer
School for eighteen years, greet
ed the students. He announced
that the registration figure at
an early hour Saturday morning
was 1545 and that he held re
servations from 150 more, which
with other late comers that are
expected in over Sunday will
run the total well above 1700.
