BEETHOVEN'S SIXTH AT CONVOCATION PASTORAL SYMPHONY PLAYED ON STRINGS AND ORGAN Beethoven's sixth (pastoral) sym phony, played on strings and organ. was given at Convocation yesterday morning at 11 o'clock in Memorial hall before about 250 faculty mem bers, students and townspeople. Mrs. Carrie B. Raymond played the organ, Edward J. Walt first violin; Ernest Harrison second violin; William Quick viola; Lillian Eiche cello. "The five distinctive movements of this symphony were titled by Bee thoven himself, and may be regarded as authorative interpretations of the music-. The remainder of the inter pretation was written by Prof. W. F. Dann of the department of history and criticism of the fine arts. Allegro ma non troppo. Awakening of cheerful feelings on arriving in the country. Andante colto mosso. Scenes at the brook. Allegro. Merry gathering of peas ants. Allegretto. Glad and grateful feel ings after the storm. Professor Dann's Interpretation "The strings in unison announce the onening theme, which in its bucolic simplicity seems to introduce us at once to rural sights and sounds. A four-voiced choir repeats and en lames the strain. Then, by way of interlude, a passage of five ascend ing notes, oft repeated, and again the theme, this time to a dronning pass. Clarinets and the reedy-toned fagotti pipe a rustic phase in ariph-ts, and the violins glide easily into the sec ond or counter theme. This second theme illustrates what musicians call double counterpoint; the highest and lowest parts are both melodies, com plimentary to each other, and they exchange places as the music pro ceeds without altering a note a dif ficult feat, and done here with great cleverness and charm. "There is later on much reiteration of simple phases, as the bird-like calls are sung back and forth in fear less freedom, while the rhythm in double time conflicts with another in triplets, recalling the gentle confu sion of nature's unregulated sounds, which nevertheless blend at a dis tance Into a kind of rough rhythmic whole. Fragments of the two origi nal themes appear here and there, serving to bind all the elements Into urtistle unitv. and the climax comes when the familiar strains of the four-voiced choir rise strong In full orchestra. Then follows, as usual, the rehearsal of the first and second themes !n due order and the movement ends with a simple and playful close. The "Scene am Bach" "In the Scene am Bach we have to ;, with dreamy reverie, the soft purlh.g of the brook, the low hum of quiet woodland, the sweetly dis cordant trill of birds amid the sway ing branches. The melody, at first intermittent, as one Idly humming, gradually grows more clear, while throughout all i modulations and variations one can fancy the babbling stream and the gentle clash of nature sounds. Near the close, the music DAILY WITHDRAWALS ARE ON DECREASE FIFTY-TWO GET RELEASES FOR WAR WORK YESTERDAY Registrar's Office Expects Applications From Now On Fewer Withdrawals of students at the registrar's oiJice yesterday because of the war emergency numbered 52, til l b i tl rr rr v-.i . . . 1 n,n C CO . . .

"The third movement starts with a real jig like tune the country-folk are to have a Jolly dance and its complement, though more like a song, is equally merry. Presently sounds the rustic pipe in a simple waltz measure, which suggests pretty maidens and the soft skip of danc ing feet. A ruder melody intervenes, such as is common in all primitive music, but the tipping song and dance soon comes back, to be harshly and unexpectedly Interrupted by the thunder shower.

AMES GAME GALLED OFF WET GROUNDS FIRST HOME VALLEY SERIES IS POSTPONED Track Meet Saturday Also Off If Sun Continues to Hide There will be no baseball game to day nor tomorrow, and there will be no track meet tomorrow afternoon if the sun does not do its duty be tween now and that time. This la the last verdict of the Coaches. Ames was wired yesterday not to come, as the condition of the field would prohibit a game regardless of the weather for the rest of the week. If conditions will in any way per mit, the meet will be held Satur day as scheduled, with Doane, Wes leyan, Cotner, the alumni and tha freshmen furnishing teams to com pete with the varsity. Would Be Competition The meet should be of high caliber as far as close competition Is con cerned. The cold weather has left most of the men with sore muscles and they will not be able 'to make any phenomenal time, but all will be in the same fix and the races will necessarily be closely fought. The field, at present is covered with a soft mush and the track has col lected several small ponds. A rain today and cold weather tomorrow will mean no meet. Coach Stewart is optomistic, however, and fully expects to carry out the arrangements that have been made.
