SKILTON'S OPERA IS NOT YET READY
FOURTH ACT WILL BE COM PLETED THIS YEAR.
The Story is Based on Scottish Legend and Covers Space of Twelve Years.
Dean Skilton's opera Ticonderoga, will not be presented to the University public this year. The fourth and last act is not yet finished, but Professor Skilton will write it during his spare time this year. The libretto was printed this month. It will not be offered until the music is ready.
The opera is based on a Scottish legend. In the first act the captain of the Black Watch is alone in his castle when a stranger comes. The captain promises him shelter for the night, without learning who his guest is. Later some horsemen arrive in pursuit and demands one of them that the man be given up for murdering his cousin. The captain refuses because he has offered his hospitality. The ghost of the murdered man appears at three different times and demands of the captain the surrender of his murder. The third time the ghost gives the warning that they will meet again at Ticonderoga. At this time it was twelve years before the battle was fought.
The second and third acts deal with colonial life in Albany, New York. The last act fulfills the ghost's warning for it meets the captain at Tieonderoga.
The time necessary to give the opera is three hours. This is the time necessary for the Sullivan concerts which have been given here for the last few years.
Dean Skilton has worked on the opera for the last two summers and has given his spare time to it throughout the last school year.
BRING AN EXTRA KERCHIEF
All Public Towels Barred From University.
No towels of any description intended for general use will be provided in the different buildings this year by the University. This action is due to the fact that a state law went into effect the first of the month banishing the roller of public towel from the state. The recent legislature which passed this law failed to provide the University with a fund for purchasing paper towels.
towels. According to Edwin E. Brown, the secretary and purchasing agent, the cost of paper towels for one year would be about five hundred dollars. If linen towels were allowed it would cost only one hundred and fifty dollars a year for the laundering of them
The individual towels at the gymnasium and in the laboratories are still allowed because they are not public.
