(Continued on Page 2) HARVARD MEN TO GET TOGETHER A Harvard dinner is to be held for all graduates of the College and other Schools in the Universi- ty on Wednesday night, March 13th at 6:30 P. SI. at the-house of Mrs. H. S, 'Thompson,: Maitland. The. cost of the dinner will be $1.00. Those who desire to be present at the dinner -will conuinicate with George W. Woodbury, 847 Old England Avenue, Winter Park, Tel. S30-E. It is hoped to gather as many Harvard men as possible who are living or visiting in Winter Park and. Orlando. ANNE MUNDY ANNE MUNDY, SOLOIST AT SYMPHONY CONCERT Beethoven's "Eroica" is the sym- phony which will be played next Tuesday evening, March 12th by the Symphony Orchestra of Cen- tral Florida under the conductor- ship of Alexander Bloch in the Winter Park High School Auditor- ium. This is the symphony which Oiin Downes thinks will in time stand forth as "the greatest of all symphonies." It is the one origin- ally dedicated to Napoleon as the great liberator of men and destroy- er of thrones; but when Napoleon declared himself emperor and be- came a tyrant, Beethoven changed the dedication "to celebrate the memory of a great man"; now it is as impersonal as the tomb of the Unknown Soldier—a mighty tribute to the deathless spirit of man. It is peculiarly appropriate in these days of the struggle of that spirit against world-wide per- secution of it. The soloist upon this occasion, in the Rachmaninoff concerto in C-minor, will be the beautiful and extraordinarily gifted Anne Mun- dy, of whom Eedfern Mason of the Boston Transcript prophesied: "Watch this young woman; she is going to cut a swath through these United States." She has done and still is doing it; Winter Park next Tuesday evening will see and hear her in action. The concerto is wonderful, whoever plays it. Boys Choir at Organ Vespers The Apollo Boys Choir, of Bir- mingham, Alabama, who were heard with such pleasure last sea- son at the Bach Festival, will sing at the Organ Vespers next Wed- nesday eyeriing at 7:30 in Knowles Memorial Chapel as announced by Herman K. Siewert, organist of the chapel, ™The vespers are being re- sumed at "that time after having been omitted the past two weeks on account of the International Re- lations Institute and the Bach Fes- tival which were held in the Chapel. GARDEN CLUB PLANS FOR "TOUR OF HOMES" The "Tour of Homes" sponsored by the Winter Park Garden Club takes place Thursday afternoon, March 14, starting from the Wom- an's Club on Interlachen Avenue at 2:00 o'clock. Most of the seven homes to be visited are open to the public for the first time and represent a wide range of archi- tecture, landscaping of grounds, interior design and decoration. In each home a display of flowers adapted to special occasions will be shown. At the completion of the tour tea will be served at the Woman's Club. Due to Winter Park's enviable position as a cen- ter of beautiful homes, gardens and lakes, wide interest is being (Continued on Page 4) MARGARET ANGLIN IN ANNIE RUSSELL SERIES The production of Ivor Novello's comedy, "Party", which will star Miss Margaret Anglin, will open in the Annie Russell Theatre on Friday evening, March 15, instead of Thursday evening as formerly announced by Dorothy Loekhart, director of the Annie Russell Ser- ies. The change has been made to avoid a conflicting date with the Civic Music Association's presen- tation of Miss Hortense Monath on Thursday. ALLIED ARTS PRESENTS ANNUAL EXHIBITION The Grange County Annual Amateur Exhibition sponsored by Mrs. Jessie Rittenhouse Scollard, President of the Florida Poetry So- ciety, through the Art Department of the Allied Arts of which Mr. Irving Bacheller is President will be held at the Rollins Art Gallery on Wednesday, Thursday and Fri- day afternoons from 4:00 P. M. to 6 P. M. March 27, 28 and 29. Mr. Alexander B. Trowbridge will be chairman of the Jury of Awards. Mr. Trowbridge was President of the Architectural League of New York and Consult- ing Architect for the Folger Ai't Library, also he is well known as a water colorist. Mr. Harwood Steiger, Resident Artist at the Re- search Studio will be Chairman of the Jury of Selection. Mr. Steiger is Director of his own school of Art at Martha's Vineyard. A num- ber of distinguished artists have been asked to assist them and a fuller account will be published next week. The members of the College Art Department of Rollins ' College, Miss Virginia Robie, Mr. John Rae, Miss Constance Ortmayer, Mr. T. Loftin Jones, Mr. Robert Burns and Miss Ruth Dqris Swett are generously assisting through their interest and cooperation. Mrs. Jessie Rittenhouse Scollard, (Continued on Page 6) IMPRESSIONS OF THE BACH FESTIVAL A striking tribute to Bach's B Minor Mass came over the wires just before its performance in Winter Park. A group of German soldiers went to hear the work sung in Amsterdam and when the chorus came to the hushed beauty of the lines "et in terra pax hominibus bonae voluntatis" they broke down and cried. The yearning 1 of the hu- man spirit for peace so winningly expressed and the utter misery of baffled aspiration broke down all barriers. This poignant testimony to the moving quality of Bach's music tells more than the publicity and arguments of the Oommitee "which is seeking so devotedly to secure annual Bach Festivals here in Win- ter Park. For it. is after all, a matter of winning the public to an appreciation and enjoyment of his music that must be the primary object in establishing these Festi- vals. When the public has come to love Bach, they will have it. This stage has long ago been reached by musicians and music lovers and our own Festival Chor- us of 150fully demonstrates by its willing devotion to long months of rehearsing at no remuneration whatsoever how much they love Bach. To put the matter on a broad basis: it is. generally agreed by musicians that Bach gives the loft- iest and. noblest conceptions in music of humanity, its love, rev- erence, yearning, sorrow, joy, trust in God and that his command of symmetry, rhythm and, accent are the highest revelation of musical art. It is of small moment that his music may be difficult—although it presents no greater difficulties than much of the modernistic work of popular composers. The winning of the public to Bach must come through perform- ances of his work which stir audi- ences by their interpretation of these human values and arouse a responsive emotional appreciation in their consciousness. It is precisely on this ground that the public learns to love or is still cold to Bach. A perform- ance of the St. Matthew's Passion or the B. Minor Mass is successful in direct ratio to the degree in which the hearers have been moved —as the German soldiers 1 were moved. This year's Festival presented a greater challenge to Director Hon- aas and his chorus than last year's St. Matthew's Passion with its dra- matic text in English. That they gave a splendid performance of the B Minor Mass was the general opinion of many music authorities consulted by this writer. The im- provement of the chorus in tone quality, flexibility, precision and its unusual capabilities for expres- sion which will in the future be- come more fully revealed, consti-i tute a notable tribute to Professor Honaas. He has fashioned a choi'* us of proficient and sensitive sing- ers imbued with enthusiasm and appreciation of their task. His own work as director has grown dur-r ing these five years and discloses ability of a high order. •? To the masterly organ accom- paniments of Herman F, Siewert a special word of praise is due. His technical proficiency in the difficult role assigned to him was (Continued on Page 5)

WINTER PARK TOPICS, SATURDAY, MARCH 9, 1940IRVING BACHELLER TELLS WHY HE LIKES

Page Seven

WINTER PARKEditor Winter Park Topics:

I am asked to tell why I choseWinter Park for my home and whyI have lived here more than twentyyears.

There are many reasons. I likedthe people, the lakes, the pines andoaks and I had disliked the extremehumidity that filled certain dayson the east coast with a sense ofweariness and discomfort.

But the main reason was RollinsCollege. I had spent my boyhoodin a college town and I knew whata help a college could be to a smallcommunity. I had seen the youngleaving that little college and go-ing out into the world to be greatleaders. It is a coeducational col-lege like Rollins. In the fifty yearsI have been a member of its boardI have heard all the ill-founded,whispered scandals of those whothought it was on its way to hell.It is the fate of all coeducationalcolleges. While other towns hadbeen going backward, owing to thedecline of agriculture, that townhad continued to prosper for thecollege was supporting its trades-men with large sums spent everyyear by the growing faculty andstudent body. The college had be-come a paying industry. Newhouses were built, others wererented. As the college grew morefood, clothing, furniture, doctors,drugs and chocolate sundaes werein demand.

Now as to Rollins. It is inabout the same class as the one towhich I have referred and fromwhich I graduate. That was inthe St. Lawrence Valley where, inwinter, the snow was often fourfeet deep and the mercury sinkingto low levels, Rollins is much morefortunately situated. My first

thought about it was that it wouldgive me a chance to contributesomething toward the growth andimprovement of the town in whichI was to live. I know that if thecollege grew and prospered itwould do even more for WinterPark than my alma mater had donefor the town in which I grew tomanhood. I was investing a con-siderable sum in land and build-ings here and was interested, nat-urally, in the future of WinterPark. I wanted good people tocome here and build their homes.So when they asked me to be atrustee of the little college I ac-cepted the honor. It was a collec-tion of shabby buildings on a sandycampus only partly covered withstarving grass. Its professorswere underpaid. Its endowmentwas very small. Yet it was doing-good work. Rollins was in aboutthe same financial status as thelittle college from which I came.

We saw hard times here. Withdeficits and crying' needs we wereoften in sore trouble. But the de-votion of Winter Park was equalto the task of keeping Rollins alive.Nearly fifteen years ago I inducedHamilton Holt, a distinguished edi-tor who had sold his magazine, tocome and survey Rollins as a fieldoffering honorable occupation forhis talents. He came and saw andsaid that he would take its presi-dency if our community would raise$300,000 with which to increasesalaries and pay deficits for fiveyears. In a week the sum wasoversubscribed by the people ofWinter Park and Orlando.

Northern money began pouringinto the little town and it began togrow. The land boom burst. Thencame the great break in Wall

Street and water flooding out of itsinsecurities spread ruin far andwide. In spite of these discourag-ing facts Holt has brought to thislittle town |2,500,000 and made thecampus a really famous beautyspot. Moreover his new and suc-cessful ideas in education have ad-vertised Winter Park as a culturalcenter from the Atlantic to the Pa-cific from the Gulf and the RioGrande to our northern boundar-ies. That advertising has been ofimmeasurable value to Winter Parkand Orlando. How many of thebeautiful homes in this town aredue to that advertising? Howmany of the distinguished peoplewho live here have come because ofthat advertising?

Moreover, Rollins College poursinto this town considerably morethan $600,000 in cash every year.

Many towns would bond them-selves for any industry that couldreliably promise to increase itsbusiness by the sum of $6,000,000in ten years.

I come now to a fact of primeimportance to this community.Business has been so paralyzed bythe many long1 years of depressionin the north that Holt has foundit exceedingly difficult to raisemoney there. Do we not really owehim the help he needs and is notthis the time to begin to pay ourdebt to him? It would help tomake the college a still greaterasset to Central Florida,
