club and the Civic Forum attended
as special patrons of the occasion. Not
only was it one of the largest assem-
blies seen in Carnegie hall this winter
but it was also one of the most must
cal and intelligent
THE seriousness of Gruppe's must
cianship at once disclosed itself by
his lofty attitude, the large, rich tone
and skill. His technique Is amazing
In the pieces by Klengel, Faure and
Dvorak, Mr.. Grippe had the valuable
assistance of Max Herzberg, a plan
list of uncommon abilities, and a
touch that subdues the instrument
and transforms it into a thing of
beauty. 1t was delightful to listen
to this pair of young artists in the
performance of these modern compo-
sitions. Gruppe's lovely cantilena in
the Klengel noture was later con-
trasted by his agile finger dexterlty
in the Dvorak rondo. The Lalo con-
certo afforded him new opportuni-
ties to show the depth of his capa-
bilties. and the artist did not fail to
measure up to them. This proved
the browning achievement of the
night, for it established Mr. Gruppe's
right to take his place with the fore
most concert cellists Of the times Be
sides many recalls back to the stage.
Mr. Grippe was presented with
laurel wreath tied with the Dutch
colors.
Mr.. Grippe goes west this month
to fill engagem ents. Later on he is
to have another appearance in New
York"
BY special permission of Mr..
Gruppe's New York manager the
tickets to his Pullman concert will
be sold at so cents each. This is only
a fraction of the cost of tickets in
other cities and towns where his con-
certs are given and it is hoped that
the College Auditorium will be filled
at this low rate of admission.

Next Friday Evening

The concert of Paulo Grippe.
which will occur in the College Au-
ditorium on Friday, March 8, at 8:15
p. m, will rank high among the
many fine attractions that have been
brought to Pullman. There is no in
strument that produces a more beau

is one of the worlds greatest cellists.
there is rare treat in store for the
people of Pullman.
The following excerpts from the
notice that he received in the New
York Musical Courier of January II,
1912, will give an idea of the wide
spread interest that was taken in his
first New York appearance:
"Paulo Grippe, the young Dutch
American cellist, gave his first con-

man Rod and Gun club will open
with the regular weekly shoot next
Sunday morning, the season to ex-
tend over period of II weeks. with
% targets on the program for each
week. Between Is and 20 shotgun
enthusiasts will be on hand to start
the ball rolling, and before the sea-
son is over it is a certainty that some
excellent scores will find their way
into the official score book. A handi-
cap system has been arranged where
by the winner of each weekly shoot
will be handicapped either in birds
or by a yardage system, during the
remainder of the contest, so that,
after the first few weeks at least, the
novice will stand an equal chance
with the oldtimer at the popular
sport. First, second and third prizes
have been provided for the three high
men at the close of the season, and
besides these prizes box of shells
will be given to the winner of each
weekly program.
A number of needed improyem ents
are being made on the club grounds
west of town, and as soon as they are
completed the Pullman club will be
as well equipped for target shooting
as any club in the state. A large
platform, 1Sx20 feet, will be con-
structed for the shooters, and two
extra traps have already been pur-
chased.
A goodly number of enthusiasts
were on hand for the regular weekly
practice shoot last Sunday, but low
scores were the order of the day, the
bright sunshine on the blanket OF
snow bothering the trigger pullers
noticeably. Three events were on the
program, two of 10 birds each and
one of 1 5 birds. The first event, OF
10 birds, was won by Allen, with
8; Martin, second. with Z. In the
second event Burgan was high, with
8, while Martin, Austin and McNutt
had 6 each In the 15-bird event
Mckinney broke II. Allen 10 and
Austin and Martin each. Martin
had high average for the day, with
Austin and Allen tied for second
place. Mckinney, recent addition
to the club. who had never before
seen bluerock, smashed the targets
like a veteran.

During the present school year
several new and necessary pieces OF

courses, although the newest in the
school.
Following is a list of the more
important apparatus acquired Soil
