Symphony Affairs and Wellesley Dinner Give Socialites Crowded Day

Mrs. William H. Gibbs Wins Orchestra Ticket Prize; Children Listen to Description of Music; College President Speaks Here.

By VIRGINIA MOORHEAD MANNON With the Symphony's first afternoon performance and the attendant activities of the Women’s Committee vesterday and the Indiana Wellesley Club dinner last evening it took a bit of planning to make the day’s events dovetail neatly. Symphony workers were pinching themselves to make sure their tremendous luncheon and lecture crowd wasn’t all a dream and Wellesley alumnae had their worries over whether they could accommodate all the people who wanted to hear Miss Mildred McAfee, Wellesley College president. .

Before a luncheon gathering of more than 300 women, Mrs. P. R. Mallory and Mrs. J. A. Goodman, cochairmen of subscriptions, awarded prizes to those who had toiled for the Symphony's success. Among those who were rewarded for selling at least 200 tickets were Mrs. William H. Gibbs, first prize; Mesdames H. H. Arnholter, Harry Hobbs, Amelia Menegas, Ralph Clayton, Philip Adler Jr. and Miss Patricia Gilliland. To the “unsung heroines” who performed less

glorious tasks, such as putting up posters and spending hours at the telephone, still other prizes were given. Included in this group were Mesdames Earle Poling, Clifton Taylor, J. L. Michaels, Ray Sparrow, Fred Appel, William Allen Moore, Frank Weaver, F. Neal Thurston and Edwin Ash.

The first of a series of four popular concerts will he given Dec. 12 and two children’s concerts are to be given Dec. 18 and April 2, Mrs. Arnholter, chairman of children’s concerts, announced. Harold Triggs, head of the piano department of the Arthur Jordan Conservatory of Music, is to lecture before the next Friday afternoon Symphony performance, Mrs. Herbert M. Woollen. luncheon com1ittee chairman, said. Mrs. Lenore Coffin had no more attentive listeners at her afterluncheon lecture on the Symphony program than the school children, Hugging their knees, absentmindedlyv swinging their stocking caps, occasionally gazing ceilingward, they grinned with delight as they caught the theme of the musical narrative. A tiny girl in a blue bonnet, with blue ribbons tied under her chin and her red-mittened companion sat still as mice. Assisted by Miss May Engle at the piano, Mrs. explained two numbers on the afternoon's program—*“Overture to Euranthe,” by von Weber, and Richard Strauss’ tone poem, “Till Eulenspiegels.” Records were also used to ‘review significant parts of the music in little snatches.”

The future of American youth is in good hands if Miss Mildred McAfee is a fair sample of the contemporary college president. While she doesn’t believ: that life begins at college, she had a good deal to say about college life to the Indiana Wellesley Club and their guests at the dinner in her honor at Woodstock Club last night.

Describing college as a strange, sometimes fearful and always wonderful place, she stressed its function as a laboratory of human relations. Youth and age work together in college government, not as faculty and students, but as human beings together considering common problems. Automobiles and intercollegiate functions represent some such problems.

Appropriately enough, the charming and youthful Miss McAfee selected as her subject “The Relation of the Liberal Arts College of the Present Day to the Modern World.” Colleges are affected by general financial conditions, our political system, general social practices and the whole academic situation, she said in explaining the effect of the modern world on the college.

Paradoxically, however, college is a product and cause ‘of the world, “The special fundamental functions of college are to contribute to an understanding of the world. to establish for students a scale of values adequate for the rest of their lives, to help them experience the best of modern life and to reform the world.” (Miss McAfee doesn’t recommend reforming to sophomores.) Pundamentally, by acquainting students with the world, college makes them agents for improvement of some section of the world in which they live, she said.

The cost of feeding beeefsteak to 2000 students, faculty members and staff ; losing good cooks to the local hostelries, where they come under social security, and dealing with curricular subjects on the outskirts of academic respectability are a few of the problems which ‘a college president has to face as an administrator. James W. Putnam, Butler College president, brought greetings from Indiana educators. Mrs, Wellesley Acquaintance Plan chairman, introduced Mrs. Alfred W. Noling, Indiana Wellesley at the dinner, = ” » LJ = E Members of Christamore Aid Society, sponsoring the presentation of “Stage Door” at English’s Theater Nov. 29, are arranging ‘a reception in honor of Joan Bennett, stage and screen star who plays the

leading role, according to an announcement by Mrs. Carl Vonnegut, arrangements chairman. .

Patrons and patronesses who helped the society sell out the

house are to attend and invitations are ‘also to be extended to the ticket holders for the night of Nov. 29. :
