Yale's New Music
Building Dedicated
President Hadley Accepts the
Albert Arnold Sprague
Memorial Hall

NEW HAVEN. Nov. 25.-Appropriate
dedication ceremonies marked the for
nal opening Of the new Yale Music
School at noon to-day. Professor John
H. Hewitt, IL. D., of Williams College,
Paid q tribute TO his classmate, Colonel
Albert Arnold Sprague, SO, in whose
memory Mrs. Sprague and their daugh-
ter. Mrs. Frederic s. Coolidge, made the
gift for the erection of the building.
President Arthur 7. Hadley accepted
the building for the university, and
Dean Horatio Parker OF the music
school spoke. A dedication cONcert
given by the Berkshire String Quartet
in the afternoon concluded the exer-
cises
Standing on the site of the former
residence Of President Timothy Dwight,
the new structure is absolutely nre--
proof, and was erected at a cost, not IN
GLIDING furnishings, Of approximately
Sl75.O00 The building Is three stories
high. and has a frontage OF l32 feet IN
Wall Street and 81 feet in College
Street.
The chief feature Of the interior is
the auditorium, which meets the long
felt need Of a hall larger than Lampson
Lyceum. but smaller than the Woolsey
Hall auditorium. Its total seating ca
pacity is $50, and the stage viii accom-
modate 90 musicians. One Of its uses
will be as a musical laboratory, where
compositions can be tried out.
IN general, the building is divided
into three separate units-One for the
oretical instruction. one for practical
instruction and one for practice. In
order 20 avoid interference by the
transmission Of sound, great care has
been taken 20 separate the departments
and 20 use such devices as deafening
quilts between the partition walls.
Accepting the new building for the
university. President Hadley said:
ION behalf Of Yale University ac-
cept the Albert Arnold Sprague memo
rial. Beautiful in itself, It has an
added beauty in the eyes of all those
who knew the honored son of Yale
whose loyalty ii commentaries. Stand
ing in the midst Of the college life
which he so gratefully remembered and

alive for many generations Of college

If Not Mr.. Schwab,
Why Not J. w. Powell?

Or if not Mr.. Schwab himself,
why not Mr.. j. w. Powell, the
young mar who has just risen to
the presidency of the consolidated
Bethlehem shipbuilding companies?
1t is noteworthy that so far in this
war Mr.. Schwab has not been COM
Wandered in any capacity, except
that his shipyards are straining TO
their limit to handle contracts for
naval and merchant ships. Such a
man would correct the huge anon
ally Of a merchant shipbuilding
body, charged with the most mo-
mentous maritime building task
since the dawn Of civilization, with
out a single great shipbuilder men,
Der.
Mr.. Hurley is trying to patch up
the defect with an advisory com
mittee Of practical shipbuilders.
That is good. and far better than
nothing, but Mr. Hurley should have
taken advantage Of the opportunity
created by. Admiral Capps's resig-
nation to name as his successor a
great business man shipbuilder
There was no question Of repeating
another Goethals-Denman dispute,
for even though the formal appoint
ment rests with the President, the
general manager Of the Fleet Cor.
poration Will henceforth be Mr.
Hurley's man.
Mr.. Hurley Is now absolutely
supreme in both the Shipping Board
and the Fleet Corporation. He
need fear no possible rival in the
person Of the general manager. no
matter how big the latter might
have been. He may feel that with
a big business man in the person Of
Charles A. Piez as vice-president Of
the Fleet Corporation, and thus SUI
perior 10 Admiral Harris, the latter,
as q new man, not having exercised
the wide powers that formerly went
with the title Of general manager,
the new general manager will fit
into a place where he can use the
virtues Of his training without hav-
ing an opportunity to exercise It's
vices. Then, too, another civilian,
James Heyworth, who is now assist
ant general manager Of the Fleet
Corporation, has already established
himself as director of the construc-
ton Of wooden ships
Still, while I am not disposed to
Judge Admiral Harris IN advance, !
cannot help feeling that if the Office
Of general manager has not been
reduced 70 one OF minor importance
an experienced builder Of ships
ought 70 have been chosen for the
place. If there mad been such
man in the Office from the start the
Emergency Fleet Corporation would
be three or four months further
ahead than it is now.
If Admiral Harris has no more
saUoir fQire in dealing with business
men than Admiral Caps more fric-
ton between the corporation and
the shipbuilders will develop.
Let US hope that results, not
means; ships, instead Of pro-
grammes for ships, will be his OBJ
jectives.

NAY not be amiss.
Shipbuilders everywhere regret
that Homer L. Ferguson, president
q the Newport News Shipbui'ding
and Drydock Company, declined the
oFer Of the place that has now'been
slel by Admiral Harris. They
feel that the position is one that
esr better be filled By q civilian

.o-rv tha. Nr. Hurley so promptly
r,-ped 10 the navy again after Mr.
ferguson declined. Except for the
bs,dicaD Of q temperamental in
ability TO get along with men and
moor health. which latter is doubt
isss the principal cause CT Admiral

man the navy could produce for

High Honor Among
Military Men
r Is not difficult TO understand
vbv NJ. Hurley wants naval ar
infect or constructor for the job.
The high standards Of honor, fideli-
y and loyalty which characterize
ne officers Of the American mill
t,rv organizations make them most
desirable in hastily built organiza-
tiors charged with the spending Of
vast sums Of government money.
Thew are veritable bulldogs of the
Treasury and the public economic
interest.
Every shipbuiider who has come
+, contact with Admiral Caps has
felt that he was dealing with a man
whose prime purpose was to protect
the public interest IN every possible
vav Such men adorn their work
because they love honor more than
success They are also master
.ecbniciars. But they have what
the French call the defects Of their
qualities. Their military training
vrHts them for the big relations o.
civil life.
Civil business life Is a series OF
Quickly made compromises and ad-
.us--erts. Military business life Is
s-b,trsrv and conforms TO rule and
1re,edsut. Military life IS a mat
ter Of order and orderliness-in
ether words, Of red tape. Big
business men are opportunists who
forever ignore custom and prece-
dent The successful business man
has tact and adaptabilIty. Your
professional military man IS made
to run on a road Of fixed gauge and
pretty straight at that He cannot
adapt himself 10 construction or
curves. He doesn't need to. HIS
accustomed road is built TO fit him.
