the famous days spent by the ancient

The Sunday evening concert was
the initial event of the memorable
week. was indeed fitting prelude
for the occurrences that succeeded
it. This concert, given in the Audi
forum under the direction of Mr..
Camille w. Zeckwer, graduate of the
Philadelphia Musical Academy and
pupil of the world renowned music
ian DR.. Anton Dvorak, was a pro-
nounced success, viewed from every
aspect. Despite the threatening
weather and the heavy showers
which fell in the early evening prior
to the time set for the concert ca
paclty crowd gathered at the Audi
torium to partake of the musical
treat. A musical treat indeed was
served to them by the trio of dis
tinguished musicians who appeared
on the stage. The program consist
ed OF two ports, each of which con-
tanned piano, violin and vocal select
ions rendered in turn by Mr.. Camille
w. Zeckwer, Miss Alma Crate and
Miss Elizabeth Bonner.
Mr.. Zeckwar appeared in the dual
capacity of virtuoso and composer.
This wonderful musician, who has
been identified with the best musical
life of Philadelphia presented sew
eral of his own piano compositions,
all of which were informed by sound,
authoritative musicianship, keen
sense of artistic proportion and a
generous melodic expression. Miss
Alma Crate, the violinist acquitted
herself quite credibly as the brilliant
pianist who preceded her on the
program. Dulceness, S nc r. ty,
thoroughness. good taste and high
ability characterized her every Sc
lection. The large audience was
thoroughly appreciative of her work
and gave evidence of that apprecia-
ton by the prolonged applause with
which it rewarded the clever music
ian. The vocal part of the program
was we'll sustained by Miss Elizabeth
Bonner. Miss Bonner is possessed
of a highly attractive, rich
and melodious contralto voice and
her rendition of the six vocal selec-
lions which formed her program was
uniformly artistic and agreeable.
All who listened to her singing
were convinced that the young lady
is an artist of consummate ability.
Concerning the whole program it can
truthfully be said that it was the
best ever presented at the Summer
School Auditorium. 1t gave great
deal of satisfaction and pleasure to
all who attended and their verdict
of universal commentator is liv-
ing testimony and valuable tribute
to the excellence of the musical en-
tertainment afforded.
The Bazaar, too, was successful
beyond even the most sanguine ex-
pectations of the most optimistic
member of the Alumnae Association.
The interest taken in the affair was
universal and generous, and the
number of people who took an active
part in it far exceeded that of any
preceding year. The thanks of the
entire Summer School guests, Of
ficers and trustees are extended to
the ladies, whose untiring and de-
voted efforts made possible the sue
cessful Bazaar.
The devotees of outdoor sport
were certainly afforded interest and
pleasure during the week. Every
day some athletic event of impor-
lance took place and these were of
such different character and were so
skillfully arranged that instead of
becoming dull and monotonous they
continually awakened new interest:
The most interesting of all these oc-
currances was. of course, the champ
ionship baseball game played by the
campers before the members of the
