HER pIANoFoRTE RECITAL

Program of Selections of the
Old Masters.
Old Masters.

One OF the delights of the musical
features over at the University that
have occurred during the year was
the p~ianoforte recital which was
given by Miss VERNE Hodge on
Thursday evening. There were even
numbers on her program whichtwere
presented by Miss Hodge with char
acteristic taste and faultlessness.
Her readings Of the works of the old
masters and her brilliant execution
all testified to the talent displayed
by this young pianiste. The NUNS
hers she selected were OF a very high
character and required a fine techni-
Que for their presentation. Chopin's

"Dance Rustiuue." OPP. 10, Moskow-
skis "Caprice Espanogal," Greig's

Dewey's 1.-The Night Has a Thousand

bling's "Grand Valse Blilliant,' op.
~, constituted a variety OF selec-
tions which received the best OF
treatment from Miss Hodge. The
Black Key Study for TIE left hand
was a particularly difficult selection
and played with a tirmness of touch
that was fine. Miss Hodge gradu-
ates from.the musical department in
June and she will be a worthy expo
nent of what is taught in the col
lege. Her work has been noticeable
for. its steady improvement during
the past three or four years as she
has appeared in recitais.

Annapolis in the Kearsage.

New York Sun: AS details Of the
tragedy in the turret of the Kear-
sarge coiue to nand the patriotic
pride of every American citizen must
be upl,fted by the courage and self
sacrifice displayed by al who were..in
the danger zone-indeed, by all the
men OH the ship.
One fact is specially worthy Of no.
tice at this time, when somuch critl-
cism is being leveled at. the Naval
Academy and the training which i5
affords. This fact is the superlative-
ly humane and generous attitude of
the officers toward their men. The
story OF Lieutenant IIudgins d1agg-
ing Ordinary Seaman King out Of
the range of the flames and inter-
posing his own body to ave the man
reads like a tale from the heroic days
of Rome. The reciprocal attitude Of
the men towards the officers, lnclud-
ing their expressions of afectionate
regard for Hudeins, forms the COM
PIGMENT OF the story. OficerS VINO
are held in such esteem by their
subordinates are leaders OF men by
right Of fitness.
There is, every reason to assume
that the two commissioned Officers
were in the Kearsarge's turret when
the disaster took place simply repre-
sent the ideals and the standards OF
the service-the ideals and concep-
tions OF duty which are the net pro-
ducts of the Annapolis ourse The
incident Is more informing than all
the abstract arguments of all the
precisians who eve held up their
hands in holy horror at the brutal
|ity'' Of a boxing match between ca
diets. II the young men who enter
the academy are shaped by the sys-
tenn and shape each other into such
types of heroic manhood as Hudgins,
it wouldsbe worse than fatGous to In
Isist on many changes.
