OPEN MEETING.

One Of the most pleasant even is in
the students life at Willamette uni
versity is the 'sopen meeti ng" that is
given at the middle and at the close
of each school term. Last Wednes-
day evening the Philodosian literary
society entertained its friends in a
very acceptable manner. AS per
previous announcements q musical and
literary program concluding with
laughable dialogue entitled "The
Top Landing" was presented in the
chapel. The violin solo by Miss Nell
lie Brown was skillfully executed and
the song by little Miss Ruth Damon
was:nicely given. Miss Georgia Daven-
port sang very sweetly The papers
by the various members of the news
paper staff were greatly appreciated
and afforded much amusement. The
papers were replete with innocent
jokes that evidently hurt no ones
feelings.
The audience was kept in almost
continual laughter during the pie
sentation OF the dialogue, entitled the
"Top Landing" Each sustained his
part very acceptably and the play was
presented in all its serious predica-
ments. Roy Ohmart as the slong lost
brother and Miss Minnie Ireton, as
Aunt Isabelle were exceptionally
good. Misses Eva Geer and d. Cans
made model young housekeepers as
we'll as lovers. r. A. Watson and
Rex w. Davis, as the hero who res
cued an old man from runaway
teams and the successful dramatic au-
thor respectively could not have been
improved upon. Selections by the
orchestra formed a pleasant feature
of the,eyening's entertainment.

membrance. Elder VIM. Manning in
a few happy remarks, stated the OBJ

bled. This was responded to by R ev.
Denton who in a few we'll chosen re-
marks expressed his appreciation of
the affair. During the evening a
program consisting of songs and reel.

providing the pledge did not forbid
the use of cider as beverage or for
cooking. The boys claimed that it
was necessary to have cider to make
good mince pies but the good Christ
ian woman contended that she could
make excellent mince pies without
using either cider or brandy. The
boys suggested that they be given an
opportunity to sample her pastry.
They were not little surprised last
Wednesday to receive several mince
pies from their teacher. 1t is slid
some of the boys are thinking of sign

OTHER LOCAL MUSICAL NEWS

The Nordica concert at the Peoples
church last Tuesday night was, Of
course, the musical event of the week,
possibly of the season, though it is to
be hoped not. That is to say, the local
patrons of music sincerely trust that
before the expiration of the season they
will have an opportunity to enjoy an
evening of just as good music, just as
well interpreted as was that of the
Nordica concert. For to tell the truth
the Nordica concert savored of disap-
pointment. The diva was not in good
voice, and her selections, while well
adapted to the revelation Of her re-
markable vocal powers, We're not the
most appropriate for concert work A
great artist is Nordica, but she must
be seen and heard in opera, in Wag-
merriam opera, to be valued at her real
worth. But if the prima donna disap-
pointed her audience, her associate,
Charles Gregorowitsch, the Russian
violinist, delighted bis hearers beyond
measure. A performer of rare skill and
delicacy of execution is Gregorowitsch.
