Juilliard Quartet Receives Ovation
A large audience gave an ovation to the Juilliard String Quartet Monday night in Strong Auditorium.
The four members, Robert Mann and Robert Koff, violins; Raphael Hillyer, viola, and Claus Adam, cello. Hillier, with Paul Blair and Hillard School of Music in New York
As an ensemble they are superb. Their coordination is perfect, and their performances displayed a mastery of the instruments.
The program included quartet music from the classic, romantic and modern periods.
"Quartet No. 2 in A Minor" by Bela Bartok, modern Hungarian composer, was the highlight of the concert. Its racy tempo and contrasting tones made for difficult playing, but the Juilliard players executed it splendidly.

Jimmy Bedford, instructor in the William Allen White School of Journalism, is what one might call an eager teacher. One class at a time doesn't seem to be enough for him.

Mr. Bedford hurried to the door and said, "You can stay here and finish, but I've got to get to a class." Then he bolted out of the door and down the stairs.
The class sat dazed for a moment and then continued working.
Fifteen minutes later. Mr. Bedford charged back into the room red-faced and breathless. The only class he had that hour was the one he had just left.
