ORGAN RECITAL AT CHAPEL

The first event of Commencement
week was an organ recital in Mead
Memorial Chapel, Friday evening.
Prof. Lewis j. Hathaway, head of the
department of music, concluded with
this entertainment his first year at Mid
dlebury, during which he has won much
appreciation of his success. The pro-
gram Friday night was one varied in
character, well planned to bring out the
possibilities of the large organ. The
organ and piano duet, in which Miss
Dyer, daughter of Mr., and Mrs. Frank
c. Dyer, joined with Prof. Hathaway,
was especially good. Webster Evans
Miller of the senior class ably sang
three solos, he having voice of great
strength and sweetness. His rendition
of Homer's Requiem" was especially
commendable. A piano, organ, and
violin trio was another number which
was much applauded, sMiss Chynoweth
Miss Dumas, and Mr.. Finkelstein par
ticipatng. The whole program re-
Elected much credit on Mr.. Hathaway
and those who assisted him.

which the official forecast and The Reg

as at commencement, was the presence
of sodiersand sailor uniforms Of the
seniors on military and naval furlough-
mingled with the white ilannels and col

But aside from the olive-drab 'knick-

honorable mention of the fact that two
of the members Of the class Harry w.
Hyde OF Worcester Mass, and r.
Douglass Esten Of Webster, Mass, were
absent on deep-sea service on the United
States supply ship Bridge-there were a
score of others pledged to naval or army
service, others to war farm work, and
among the girl graduates a sense of the
unusual import of the times.
Harold M. Davis, of Malone, N. Y,
the president of the class, in his address
characterized the solemnity of the oc-
cason. Mr., Davis himself had recently
been granted release from college for
patriotic service as a Y. M. c. A.

made the members of the class feel
deeply the responsibility that was theirs.

this feature, by marching to the gym
with two chains of entwined wreaths of
white flowers. Singing college songs,
they formed double column through
which the seniors marched to the ivy

address.

cert. Miss Hoffman's greatest applause
came from the singing of an aria from
Puccini, and the trio's best work was
the rendition of Tschaikowsky's varia-
tons in A Minor. Miss Hoffman also
sang a number of songs especially
written for her, and was pleasing to all,
1t was felt by many in the audience,
however, that the recesses of the chapel
organ pipes absorbed much of Miss
Hoffman's voice.
