Last night, during the presentation (Continued on page two) , ARLAN COOUDGE TO APPEAR HERE IN VIOLIN CONCERT New Englander To Perform Sunday At. 4:30 In Hill Hall - Arlan Coolidge, a young New Englander who early decided to make his career in college music, will appear Sunday afternoon at 4:30 in Hill Music hall as a faculty-artist visitor in a vio lin recital under the sponsor ship of the concert project of the Association of American col leges. He will " be accompanied on the piano by Rudolph Pitta way, formerly a member of the faculty of Bennington college. Immediately after graduation from Brown university in 1924 with an English major and Phi Beta Kappa honors, he went to work as a pro fessional violinist. He played in the New York philharmonic-symphony at the stadium concerts, and then for two years as a regular member of the Cincinnati symphony. VIOLIN IN VIENNA Awarded a Juilliard fellowship, he spent the next two years in graduate work in solo playing and chamber music, and then went to the Univer sity of Vienna on an exchange fel lowship of the Institute for Interna tional Education. In 1930, Professor Coolidge returned to Brown univer sity where he now heads the depart ment of music His grandfather's hobby deter mined the career k of Arlan Coolidge. Being a cabinetmaker, his grand father took to making violins largely for the fun of it. One day it oc curred to the family that it would be pleasant if someone in the Cool idge household could play one of the instruments. So Arlan, then eight years old, was sent off to the violin teacher. It turned out that violin playing in particular and music in general were the things he was most interested in. , FIDDLING DISAPPOINTMENT This interest in music and fiddling was, at first, something of a disap pointment to Professor Coolidge's father, who, being an avid baseball fan, thought and hoped that his tall, lanky son would grow up to be a pitcher. Perhaps, a major leaguer. But the father ultimately became not only reconciled to but deeply in sym pathy with his son's interest and saw to it, in so far as possible, that the youthful violinist had every advan tage. The fiddle which Professor Cool idge has been playing for many years. both in this country and abroad, bears the maker's No. 56, and is the only one the grandfather made of wood imported from Italy. All in all, the grandfather turned out 65 violins be fore his death in 1910. Professor Coolidge rates his instrument as "a very good violin, indeed." Soul, Etc. Senior Budget Fight Enters Second Round In the hope of obtaining a majority vote on its proposed budget, the senior class will hold a second meeting next Thursday morning in Memorial hall at 10:30.
