illustrate ms lecture. mnrV
Oakley is an illustrator, lec- somrs is
turer, painter, writer, ana arcni
tect. He was graduated from
the University of Pennsylvania
with B.S. and M.S. degrees in
architecture, and later studied
illustration under Howard Pyle,
whose pen and ink drawings for
Harper's magazine in the early
nart of this century attracted
m much attention.
In his lecture, Oakley express
ed the belief that American il
pends largely upon the rendition.
Eighteen years ago he jour
neyed to this country and now
lives permanently in White
Plains, N. Y. Commenting upon
the American attitude toward
folk music, in which he is nat-. 1
urally interested, he said "Ang-j
lo-Saxon peoples are all alike.
The English, Australians, and
Americans have an individualis
tic view of art. They lack the
group feeling. This is shown by
heir willingness to ignore the
native genius in order to pay to
hear highly-touted foreign per-
iormers. '
Influenced by German Attitude
This spirit, which is so com
pletely different from the Ger
manic tradition which Grainger
claims as his own, has tended to
restrict the progress of a na
tional art in this country. "We
do not think or act," he added,
"in any kind of unison." - It is
quite likely that this situation
is a -serious obstacle to the for
mation of a national orchestra
subsidized by the federal government.
He believes that the penden
cy is toward an interest in mu
sic itself, in taking part in the
performances on a basis of dem
ocratic equality with a sense of
teamwork as in a football or
baseball game.
"Greig was one of the first to
take this" democratic " attitude1
continued Grainger. "He told me
that it had always been his am
bition to write piano pieces so
simply that they could be played
in every home in Norway and
not merely by professional mu

Aim of Scouts
In stating the aim of scouting,
Bentz announced the belief that
the greatest product of any uni
versity or any nation is'a group
of young men and women, well-
trained and sound physically,
mentally, and morally.
He mentioned also - his desire
that students would consider the
scout movement and ideals from
a university standpoint, point
ing to the international signifi
cance of scouting. Scouting,
according to Executive Bentz,
appeals to all peoples and all re
ligions; and although the move
ment, is only twenty-two years
old; the scouts outnumber mem
bers in all other organizations.

Joseph Nelson, Jr., of New Bern,
University Freshman, Passes
Away in Infirmary.
Josepn Nelson, Jr., freshman
in the liberal arts school, passed
away suddenly yesterday morn
ing in the school infirmary after
having been sick three days with
an infected throat.
Nelson graduated f rom New-
bern high school in 1931. While
in high school, he was very ac
tive in dramatics, a member of
the glee club, an active worker
in the student council, and in
terested in declamation. He was
a very prominent boy in the
Newbern school and came to the
University highly recommended
by his teachers.
Although this was his first
year at Carolina, "Joe," as he
was known to his intimate
friends, made a host of fine-acquaintances.
He took a part in
the recent Playmaker - produc
tion, Uncle Tom's Cabin. Despite
the fact that he was in the lib
eral arts school, Nelson had ex
pressed the intention of event
ually entering into the field of
medicine. ,
Deceased was the son of Mr.
and Mrs. Joseph Nelson,

phony Orchestra completed a
series of two concerts last night
with the presentation of a varied
program in Memorial hall, with
Lamar Stringfield as conductor
and Percy Grainger, noted Aus
tralian pianist and composer, as
guest artist. The first concert
was presented to a large audi
ence in Durham Thursday night.
The first part of the program
last night included the Marriage
of Figare Overture by Mozart
and the Peer Gynt Suite Norl
by Grieg. The second part con
sisted of Percy Grainger selec
tions, some of them played and
some conducted by the composer,
and of the Legend of John
Henry, Lamar Stringfield's new
symphonic work. This compo
sition was presented to the pub
lic for the first time last night.
The Grainger compositions con
sisted of Spoon River, The Nor
dic Princess, and Handel in the
Strand. r

Joint Lecture Given
Prior to the concert last night,
Grainger and Stringfield gave a
joint lecture yesterday after
noon in the Hill Music audi
torium explaining the composi
tion of the selections played at
the concert. Stringfield spoke
on the legend of John Henry, the
story of the contest between the
steel driver and the steam drill.
Grainger spoke on folk music
in general and the effect of mu
sic on life and customs. He ex
pressed, his idea of the purpose
of music which is to make peo
ple more sentimental. He ex
plained how the three of his
