Battin, of the faculty in the, Meredith Col lege school of music, will pre sent the third of the guest series of organ recitals in Music hall on Monday evening, May 4, at 8:15. An attraction - on Professor Battin's program is the Grieg Concerto No. 2 which will be played on the piano by Miss Gait, of the music faculty; at Meredith, with the orchestral part played by Professor Battin on the organ. In view of the fact that this is probably the last of the guest series concerts, a large audience is expected on Monday evening. Professor Battin, although only in his second year in North Carolina has become known as a musician of high rank. A na tive of Pennsylvania, Professor Battin was graduated from the university of that state and has since carried on the study of mu sic in New York under prom inent teachers and coaches. His interests are not limited to the organ. He is a choral en thusiast and has brought the Meredith choral activities to some degree of attainment. Un der his direction, at least, four choral works of major character each year are being studied and publicly performed at that in stitution. Professor Battin has recently organized and trained the Raleigh Choral Society, which will present Mendelssohn'3 Hvmn of Praise with the Ra leigh Symphony Orchestra early in May. 7QUR EVENTS ON SOCIAL PROGRAM THIS WEEK-END Sophomore Hop Scheduled For This Evening Will Be Largest Dance. equation Ui .JUean Law School is O JiV u: GalU-Curci To Sing Here Next January Playmakers Select Tentative Cast For Milne Presentation This week-end Carolina is to be the scene of many dances among which are the Sophomore Hop, the Phi assembly dance, the Phi Aloha dance, and the , w - Grail dance.
