Swalin Addresses
Meeting Of YWCA
On Christian Music
Dr. Benjamin F. Swalin of the Uni
versity music department addressed a
TWCA group last night on the Chris
tian church music of the middle ages.
The subject, he said? though it
sounds formidable is important as it
describes a developmental period nec
essary for the understanding of music.
The Christian idea of God and death
excited a new interest in religion and
singing began in the churches when
the congregation chanted its response
to the psalms in joyful inspired
speech.
Later this response between the
priest and people -was further devel
oped into a response between one choir
and another called an antiphon. This
form as well as the psalmody and the
early hymn for the praise of God had
no harmony, only a single melodic
line.
Pope Gregory, crowned in 590 A.D.
took an interest in music and collected
as antilphonar and encouraged choir
singing. The present Gregorian chants
are named for him although he did not
compose them. All the early music was
anonymous.

Endowed Colleges Warned
O f New Finan cial Dangers
PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 8. The en
dowed universities in this country will
have to go out of business. Dr. Rob
ert Maynard Hutchins, president of
the University of Chicago, declares to-
day in The Saturday Evening Post
"unless they , face their finanicial sit
uation frankly, set their house in or
der, develop a clear and defensible
idea of what they are trying to do
and make the public understand it."
The position of the endowed uni
versities, he points out, is precarious
because of the economic situation and
the low interest yield on investments
while the institutions -supported by
taxation are . continuing their ad
vance on all fronts.
Endowed universities, he says,
might as well forget their endowments
as the fututre of these funds is so
speculative that no program can be
based upon them. As a result of "go

ing through the wringer" of economy
from 1931 to 1935 it is unlikely that
expenses can be cut much more, the
article says.
POSSIBLE STEPS
Consolidation of institutions is ad
vocated as one possible step, while
Dr. Hutchins also suggests that small
er annual contributions might well be
built up to take the place of a few
large endowments, or that in some
cases it may be necessary to use cap
ital, instead of relying on interest,
because' it would be wiser iinvestment
to meet the needs of the' generation of
youths now pressing for education than
to try to conserve assets for an un
predictable future. .
"The needs of the country have
changed since most of these institu
tions came on the scene" he declares.
