THE CHARM OF THE VERSATILE 'CELLO
Mr. Lamping Had His Hearers Spellbound, in the Gym Last Night
MUSIC WOVE WONDER-VISIONS
And at The End of The Selections,
The Clock's Pulse Could be Heard
All Over The Hall
160
Robinson gym was crowded last night; people filled nearly all the folding chairs that had been set in stiff rows across the canvas covered floor. On the raised platform in front, there was a large man with long hair, in evening clothes, carefully looking over a violoncelo. He tested its mellow resonance and attuned it to the constant note of the piano.
Then a moment of silence, of poised expectancy, a soft chord of melody coaxed by the flying fingers of the accompanist, and the voice of the 'cello rang out sweet and strong. Guided by a master hand, the vibrating bow now enticed, now urged forth the full, rich notes, more human and sympathetic than the song from other throats of brass or wood.
The melody swelled, unfolded and burst in a cascade of rippling and vibrant harmony.
Now it was the forest choral of dawn-mad birds, now the leafy crooning of the summer wind in the tall cottonwoods. Then the walling snow-breath of the North around the woodland and the creep grooming of a freestound lake.
Now the plashing wash of shorekissink wavelets, then the crunch of heavy boots in the shingle and the dull creak of laboring oars.
At once there came the twinkling chanson of the polished dance floor, the gay measures of the minute, then the simple song of a cottage maid at eve, and vesper chimes over misty green fields.
A final flight of melody, then the music died to a faint clear murmur. No deeper silence could reign in a sealed tomb. A careless person moved his foot. The slight rap jarred all around the hall. The magic measures rose and fell. Each hearer strained every nerve to catch the last wonderful whisper. The old wall held up clinging tight. The wall cut off the passing minutes. A janitor in the gallery dropped his keys. The trailing ribbons of tissue swayed in the draft from the upper windows.
At last the waving bow stopped, the artist's head was raised, the intent look of inspiration vanished from his face, and smiling, he bowed. There was an instant's rustle, two thousand arms were being lifted,

Only 9 seniors out of a possible 300 have been assigned and gowns as yet, although they have had a week in which to attend to the matter. It only took three days to get the class fitted out last year and the committee hoped to do as well this year, but as that is now impossible they threaten to close the lists tomorrow. Procrastinating seniors should take notice.
Forbidden Combs, Radcliffe Young Women Will Let Hair Hang Down
The ban has been put on comb and baretes as a part of the costume of Radcliffe girls to be worn at the com-mputer exercise of Radcliffe college in June.
The girls are up in arms over this and say that the next best thing to barettes and combs is wearing the hair in the old fashioned way, hanging down their backs in braids and curls. This is the result of a mandate issued by Dean M. Coles of Radliffe, white linen tailored waistcoats, white linen skirts, plain oxford no jewelry, and no combs or barettes in the hair.

NOT ENOUGH BOATS ON LINERS, HE SAYS
Prof. Dais. Experienced Voyager,SaysTitanicHadn't Enough Life Boats
That the recent Titanic disaster was made horrible, and the loss of life was greatly augmented by the fact that large liners do not carry enough life-boats in proportion to the numbers of passengers aboard is the opinion of Prof. F. B. Dains, who has made several ocean voyages, and is has especially noticed the arrangement of life saving appliances on ocean liners.
"Besides the boats, a liner carries two rafts which will also carry about fifty persons," added Professor Dains.
Professor Dains says that twelve or fifteen life-boats is the usual number carried on a liner and that all boats will hold about fifty people.
"According to this estimate, a liner the size of the Titanic carrying two thousand passengers, would of course, have to carry forty boats holding fifty passengers, in order to accommodate all on board.
"Iinsufficient deck space," explained Professor Dains, "is probably the reason why a sufficient number of boats was not on the Titanic."

The subject of his talk was "Education as a Life Work." During the course of the lecture Professor Johnston emphasized these points: Constant contact with young ideal life; best opportunity for continuous intellectual growth; a profession which holds a special interest; a profession which makes one a part of social life, — a "modern civic engineer"; probably best chance for exerting a genuine moral influence: a challenge to contribute to new professional spirit.
