They were discovered in the archives of Florence and Venice, Italy last year and have been edited by Musicologist John Edmunds. Miss Tangemann, one of America's best-known contralto soloists, who joined the SIU music department this year, will be recreating the arias as they were performed in the 18th century.

She is most noted as a singer of contemporary vocal music, a field in which her "musicianship, interpretative sensibility and understanding " . have been praised. Chiasson, Miss Tangemann's professional New York accompanist, will play three harpsichord solos: Handel's "Chaconne inC sharp minor"; three sonatas by Domenico Scarlatti, and "The Lonely l.Jayfarer," an early American composition.

Baber, Director, Alton , addressed the Rotary Club and the AAUW on the same day this week in Alton. He spoke to the Rotarians of the foresi ght and efforts of the civi c leaders of the area in helping to establish centers of higher e~uc a tion in Al t on and East St. Louis, and he cited these enrollment figures: SIU 1s up 30 per cent this Fall, and -- according to available figures -- is the f a stest-growing university in the country. Educational experts had predicted an enrollment of 7,250 for SIU this year; 8,100 next year; and 9,000 by 1960. It is a lready past the.estimate for next year. Enrollment now totals 8,3000 -- 6,500 in Carbondale, 1,200 1n Alton, and 600 in East St. Louis. (Men outnumber \vomen 2 to 1.) In size SIU ranks third in the state in full-ti me e nrollment ( a fter the University of Illinois and Northwestern), and even B.C. (before the centers) it was the 76th largest institution of higher learning in the United States. Professor Alonzo Myers of New York University, who predicted in an educational survey of the area this Spring that there would be an enrollment , qf~ $.0Q.._the first year if centers were established in Alton and East St. Louis, also predicted that the number of freshmen each year would rise to about 2,000 in 1962 (if facilities for accommodating this number could be made available), and to about 2,700 entering freshmen in 1967. This would indicate an undergraduate enrollment of about 6,000 students in 1962 and about 9,000 in 1967. Dr. Baber told the AAUW that the Alton Residence Center is offering a strong liberal arts program for some 650 freshmen, and a basic framework of required courses for sophomores, juniors, and seniors -- together with enough electives to meet their requirements. He said that by ne x t Fall the center will be offering most of the courses offered on the Carbondale campus at both the freshman and sophomore levels, and an expanded offering at the junior and senior levels for majors in English, math, history, government, s ociology, chemistry, physics, biology, music, speech, economics, secretari a l science, business management, education, physical education, and a few others. How many students will the present campus accommodate ? Baber said that by careful scheduling from 7:00 a.m. to 6:00p.m. the center can take care of 800-900 day students. Additional scheduling can accommodate 1,100-1,200 evening and Saturday students, making a total of 2,000 for next Fa ll. He also told both clubs about the graduate program and the building of lib r ary and research resources. ------------------------- � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

A lecture given last November by ALFRED KUENZLI, associate professor of psychology (A), at the Unitarian Church in Alton appears in the current issue of Unity magazine. It concerns the Dewey centennial. In introducing EDWIN B. WARREN's recent publication, The Masses of Robert Fayrfax (1464-1521), Armen Carapetyan, general editor of The American Institute of Musicology, has written: "Fayrfax may safely be regarded as one of the great figures, though least known, of English music. He is an important link between Dunstable and the later Tudor composers. His works as such are of immense interest and worth." None of Fayrfax's music was printed during his lifetime and practically none has been published since. Therefore, his music has been almost entirely inaccessible and unknown, along with most of the English music from about 1450 to 1525. Warren's edition �- 6 - of the complete works of Fayrfax from the original manuscripts of the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries will help fill this gap in English musical history and as such will be of major musicological importance. The Masses, which represents the largest segment of Fayrfax's music, is the first of three volumes. The second, containing the rest of his sacred music, is in progress, as is a stylistic analysis of the music to appear in the next issue of Musica Disciplina, A Yearbook of the History of Music. Warren is associate professor of music (A). WILLIAM F. BANAGHAN, assistant professor of guidance and supervisor of student affairs at Alton, is co-author of an article entitled "Staff Development" which appears in the March issue of Mental Hospitals, hospital journal of the American Psychiatric Association.

The article is concerned with staff development programs for state hospitals. WHAT IS AN AMERICAN? "What is an American?" was the title of a recording by ROBERT STEINKELLNER heard over KMOX March 7.

In addition to a stipend, the grant includes tuition and books. Arnold is currently enrolled in two courses at Washington University. Under the grant he would study full-time next year. EDITS MARCH FABLES The University of Alabama Press has just released a book edited by DEAN WILLIAM T. GOING, ~9 fables by William March, author of The Bad Seed. The delightful illustrations are by Richard Brough, a member of the art faculty at the University of Alabama. Introduction to the book was written also by Mr. Going. At the time of March's death, the longest manuscript still in his possession was a collection of fables which he had completed for the first time in 1938. March culled and rewrote, polished and revised, always finding them "too good to destroy," yet never finding them a good venture for a commercial publisher. Now, posthumously, the collectio.n appears in this book and readers can enjoy the fabulous world of William March. The fables "are an immediate delight and everyone will find many favorites among the 99. But in the end, March's view of the world is a hard one,and the morals, however charmingly expressed, are bitter enough to rival the themes of his novels. As a matter of fact, it is an echo of the theme of his novels that the 99 fables take on a special significance, according to the editor. He says they form a sort of writer's notebook of ideas. "They will be read less for clues to March's philosophy �- 7 - than because the individual stories are superb, the themes meaningful, and the cumulative effect powerful." Dean Going was on the faculty of the Department of English; at the University of Alabama before joining the SIU staff. tative plans call for Dr. Bunche to speak at 3:00p.m. at the Alton High School, with a reception at the YWCA immediately following.

Allen and Hasse collaborated recently on a story about "The Smiling Lincoln," a portrait by 1Uban J. Conant which hangs in the Southern Illinois University library at the Alton Residence Center. The story appeared in the February 8 edition of Family Heeklv, a syndicated feature magazine included in many Sunday ne\'lspapers.

BECAUSE TilEY Hi\HT TO SING (The fo llouin~ editorial appeared in the February 25 issue of the Alton Evening Te ler;raph.) There are some things you like to see get grmvin:.; pains. The Alton Community Chorus suffered the malady at its first rehearsal lionday night. This group got a start, Hith an overcrmvded rehearse1l hall, that promiscsbright things for its future. The Choir Directors' and Organist f: ' Guild sponsored "Hessiah" earlier under Herrold Headley, Hho is organizing the Community Chorus, also demonstrated to the public the excellence of the neu group's leadership. Alton has needed a community chorus which has this sort of activity in mind, and which \vill not be satisfied to make it secondary to other choral activity. Only with this approach can such a group suc-cessfully negotiate the myriad choral masterpieces uhich lie open and challenging. Dr. Headley apparently struck the right note Hhen he invited folks to enter the group because they wanted to join together and sin~ fine music. \ GLYNN ADDRESSES UPPER ALTON COUNCIL .

There is plenty of parking space at qHe rear of the building. You are asked not to park under the ramp, which is r~served for customers. The -meetin g will be held in Room 101 at one o'clock. Featured at the guest tea will be Mrs. Fral\lk Eversull, who will revie\v Doctor ~hivago by Boris Pasternak. A Book-of~The-Month selection and at the top of the fiction list for weeks, Doctor Zhivago is the first original work published by Pasternak after 25 years of silence. "The only truly great novel to come out of post-revolutionary Russia significantly appears first in translation, without the approval of the Ru?sian Communist Pa,rty censorship," according to the publisher, Pantheon. "But this sensational aspect should not obscure the fact that Doctor Zhivago is above all a stupendously rich and moving book." Even if they have read the book, members and gues~s of the club are sure to enjoy Mrs. Eversull's revieH and the opportunity of discussing it with others. THE INTER}ffiDIATE CHILD Robert Steinkellner spoke March 4 to about 450 intermediate grade teachers of Madison County. His subject was entitled "The Intermediate Child." Departmental chairman of the Americanism Committee, State of Texas Veterans of Forei gn Wars, Steinkellner spoke March 8 on Americanism at a meeting of District 14. The meeting was in New Athens. PONDER THESE QUESTIONS *Greeting his pupils, the Master asked: "What \vould you learn of me?" And the reply came: "How How How How How For shall \·Je care for our bodies ? shall \ve rear our children? shall we •wrk together? shall \ve 1ive with our fellowmen? shall \ve play? what ends shall we live?" And the teacher pondered these words, and a deep sorrow was in his heart, for his own learning touched not these things. ~·:chapman, James C. and Counts, George S., Principles of Education. Houghton-Mifflin Co.; Cambridge, Mass., 1924, p. 645. ****************** Robert Steinkellner further asks: How shall \ve live within ourselves? How shall \ve learn to work by ourselves? How shall \ve know "truth"? How shall we judge that which is of value? How shall \ve, the children, find the courage to judge and to challenge accepted traditions and test them for their truth? How shall vJe know God? How shall \ve learn to strive totally to do our best work according to our abilities so that we may find pride in a job well done? How, in the final analysis, shall we evaluate our lives? What is the purpose of living and of dying?

Everyone has either had an education or not had one. If he's had one, he knows what is wrong with it. If he hasn't had one, he knmvs what's wrong with everybodyelse. He pointed out that our basic problem in education is to determine what >ve should be trying to do and then to do it. He granted that a solution to this complex problem will not be found easily. Bird maintained that we in education are making entirely too much of the science of studying the teacher rather than the textbook. He would advocate developing the mind rather than placing so much emphasis on teaching the specific action to be performed, regardless as to whether this might meet with some opposition from students, parents, or even school boards. He expressed concern about the fact that the products of our educational system would rather drive an automobile on a crowded highway on a holiday than read a good book, and asked whether our students should be expected t o learn to read, write, and spell or whether they should be permitted to continue to attend classes which require practically no preparation and in which they merely sit around and discuss things in general between coffee breaks.

South'Western Illinois Residence Centers Southern Illinois University FACULTV . NEWS BULLETIN �JUNE~ Vaiiu .. IIJ' No .. 8 1959 FA. CULTY NEWS BULLETIN Mildred Arnold, Editor Room 227, Broadview Hotel Bridge 4-2100, ext. 3 NOTHING CAN HOLD BACK THE DAWN (Editorial lvhich appeared in the June 10 issue of the EDHl\RDSVILLE INTELLIGENCK"t . ) When it w·as learned recently that construction on the ne\v Southern Illinois University campus at Ed\vardsville would not begin immediately, the first reaction naturally Has one of disappointment. But a quick review of what has been done in just two short years to provide university facilities in this part of the state shaHs the positive steps far outdistance the negative. T\vo years ago the nearest state university was more than 100 miles away. Students in other portions of the state could commute to state-supported universities and still work full or part time in their home communities to finance their education. This was not the case with this area. ... Madison and St. Clair counties, with the greatest conce ntration of population in the state outside Chicago, furnished a lar ge volume of the tax money to support university facilities in other parts of the state, but the only young people of this re gion Hho could benefit from these facilities \vere the ones who could afford to live away from home. Since 1957 more than 4,500 individuals have been enabled to avail themselves of university offerings in this area, and it is expected that 6,000 different persons will be privileged to participate in some type of university activity this coming year. Assurances of support by the Governor, Hhich include funds for architectural and engi neering studies, are tangible evidence that the project to provide a major campus in this area will go fon1ard. It has also been reliably reported that in a few months the central administrative offices of the Southwestern Illinois Campus will be moving to the Edwardsville site. While these developments are important in themselves, of even greater import is the assurance that benefits will continue to evolve from the dynamic leadership provided by SIU's administrators. At the helm of SIU is a man with broad vision and a sensitivity to the needs of Southern Illinois, an educator highly regarded throughout the entire state, Dr. Delyte W. Morris. In charge of the university's program in this part of the state is an indefatigable and effective administrator, equally \veil-informed on our area's needs and highly regarded by each community in the area, Dr. llarold W. See. The effective teamwork displayed by these men could well set the tone of cooperation between our area and the rest of Southern Illinois. Basing our confidence on the impressive record scored by this leadership, we look to the day when Southern Illinois will achieve the level of development being planned for it by these and other dedicated individuals throughout the southern half of Illinois. GOVERNOR STRATTON ON SIU BRANCH (Editorial which appeared on the editorial page of a June 3 edition of the St. Louis POST-DISPATCH.) Although Governor Stratton did not encourage his visitors in beha~f of Southern Illi- �- 2 - nois University's Madison-St. Clair branch to expect an immediate appropriation to build a new campus, he did show a generally friendly attitude toward the development of greater educational facilities in the nearby Illinois area. The Governor pointed out that his current budget includen approximately $300,000 for engineerinG and architectural studies of the 1400-acre site near Edwardsville toHard whose purchase 60,000 people have contributed nearly $600,000. As Mr. Stratton said, this constitutes an actual investment by the State of Illinois in the new campus, and in any case, careful engineering and ~tchitectural studies ought to be conducted before the first spade of earth can be turned for the first new building. Meantime the Governor's budget recognizes the gro>·l ing use of the residence centers in Alton and East St. Louis by providing a $700,000 deficiency appropriation for additional expenses incurred as more and more young Illinoisans turned to the residence centers. The next two years will not be lost in the development of Southern Illinois' MadisonSt. Clair branch university. The site can be wholly acquired and carefully studied as to its best uses. Plans can, indeed must, be drawn thoughtfully and farsightedly. Meantime the increase in attendance at the residence centers will show the need still more clearly to the officials and lmvmakers at Springfield. PRAISEHORTHY PURPOSE (This editorial on the Southwestern Illinois Chorophonic Society was carried in the June 4 issue of the 1\lton EVENING TELEGRAPH.) Considerable pride can be felt by the Alton area over the nev1ly "unveiled" Southt-1estern Illinois Chorophonic Society. The chorus of nearly a hundred gave its first concert in the First Nethodist Church Monday niGht (June 1), largely as an invitational affair. If Dr. H. E. Headley's grooming of the choir is any indication of the general quality of faculty members on the SIU campus, then residents here have real reason for optimism. The choir's performance of an intricate and lengthy work completely new to all its members would have done credit to an organization with much longer to prepare it than was avai~able to this group. But the chief cause for complimenting Dr. Headley and his chorus is the announced aim to study and perform many other works in this tremendous field. Such masterpieces as the Cherubini mass performed the other night can lie about gathering dust for years without doing the world any good. It is Hhen they are brought out and given voice through such choruses as Dr. Headley's that they accomplish their missions. And a chorus such as Dr. Headley's owes it to the Horld of music to bring these pieces out and Hork with them, to see that they live. One can sit dovm and read a book, a magazine article or a newspaper easily and learn what is in it. Most of the public, however, must become acquainted with music through hearing it. And choral \vorks require choral orcanizations to make them available if the public is ever to rise above its "Mother Goose" acquaintance with music literature. The Southwestern Illinois Chorophonic Society, then, Hill be performing a great service to the world of music by presenting these pieces; to its members by making them acquainted with the \vorks at a performer's level, and to the public by interpreting them. It is a praiseworthy purpose, ~ndeed. We wish Dr. Headley the highest success in his avowed aims. COLLECTION PRESENTED'TO ALTON CENTER Harold E. Broadbooks has presented a $2,000 collection of stuffed birds and mammals to the University's Alton Residence Center.

"Although the workshop is designed primarily for the elementary classroom teach• er," Blakely said, "the presentation \vill be of interest to all who work with young children." Mins Zander is presently serving as music consultant for the Follett Publishing Company of Chicago. Blakely served as an adjudicator at the Class B state finals in the Illinois music contests, judging woodvrinds and bands at the state contest held in Carbondale.Last month he attended the North Central Division Convention of the Music Educators National Conference held at the Conrad Hilton Hotel in Chicago. STUDENTS STAFF MEMBERS i? ILL SPEAKING ENGAGENENTS In a volley ball match June 3 at East St. Louis, the faculty team outplayed a student team. The first game ended 14-11 in favor of the students but in the second match they were shut out by a score of 9-0. The third encounter resulted in an overtime contest, the faculty eking out a 16-14 victory. Playing for the faculty were \.Ji lliam Probst, Peter Simpson, Howard Nesbitt, James Diekroeger, George Arnold, Harold Berrv and David Henson. He wouldn't be quite honest, however, if \ve didn' t point out that Berry and Henson are students, although they uere drafted to fill out the faculty squad. LLOYD BLAKELY REPORTS that merit awards, admitting the~ecipients into the bands of the Southwestern Illinois Campus of SIU without audition, have been distributed to some 200 graduating seniors from the secondary schools in this area.The awards \vere given in recognition of outstanding musicianship in school bands and were awarded upon recommendation of each student's bandmaster. Enrollment of these students in our campus bands is providinG the potential for one of the finest instrumental ensembles in the midwest, Blakely said. He reports also that tentative plans call for Beulah Zander, former state supervisor of music uithin the State Department of Public Instruction of Illinois, to be on the Alton cnmpus July 6 and 7 for a workshop Some of the speaking engagements on Clifton Cornwell's sprinG schedule included a talk on "Speech Arts" ijiven May 24 at the Public Relations for Unions Conference and sponsored by AFL-CIO Community Services; a commencement address at St. Jacob High School May 28, and a talk last month before a Madison County organization of realtors.

Rosenthal is one of three authors of THE CO~PS OF ENGINEERS: TROOPS AND EQUIPMENT, to be released June 18. Published by the Office of the Chief of Military History, Department of the Army, Hashington, D. C., the book is the first of four volumes that will describe the participation bf the engineers in \~rld Har II and the contribution they made toward winning it. The war demanded unprecedented constuction from the Army's Corps of Engineers. In General Douglas HacArthur's island-hopping campaign, engineers manned landing craft, rolled supplies across beaches and Hewed out the jungle for landing strips. Thousands of miles of gasoline pipeline were laid, vital seaports reconstructed and vast quantities of maps furnished. Set in the United States, this volume describes the years of intricate planning and preparing \·lhich paved the way for these achievements overseas. The interplay be ·tween engineers and other services and higher commands is amply explored \vith lively delineation of personalities, according to advance publicity. Rosenthal joined the SIU staff at Carbondale in 1955 as an instructor of history and transferred to the Alton Residence Center in 1958. I~ received hi~ bachelor's and master's deGrees from the University of Virginia and his doctorate in nroerican �- 7 - history from Harvard University. During World War II he served in Europe with the 95th Infantry Division. He was associated with the Engineer Historical Division from 1948 to 1953. The SIU teacher is currently working on another book which concerns the Progressive }bvement in New York State, subject of his doctoral dissertation. His article, "The Cruise of the Tarpon," appeared in the October 1958 issue of Neu York History. Rosenthal's promotion to associate professor of history, to become effective September 23, was approved last month by the SIU Board of Trustees. The dominant theme before Pearl Harbor is the engineers' adjustment to new vehicles and \vecipons and their consequent struggle to maintain their position with• in the infantry division and carve out a role with armor~d and air forces. The months follmving Pearl Harbor were marked by shifts in strategic plans, fluctuatin 0 troop bases, accelerated training schedules, a growing m.Jareness of the magnitude and intricacy of logistical support and optimistic procurement programs. During the final years of the war the engineers turned out a more versatile soldier through lengthened and more realistic training. Improvements in forecasting requirements and greater access to raw materials having eased the procurement of supplies, an orderly distribution became the primary goal. • The book has been described as one which "captures the spirit of the priod--the confusion, the conflicts, the harassed officers, the briefly-trained troops, the atmosphere of scarcity, the urgency of time." �• • � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

B J L L j_j' III~- No.4 T I N Mildred Arnold, Editor Fangenroth Road Edwardsville, Illinois election date has been set for Tuesday, February 2. "Obviously this is a very important election," Brubaker said, "since there is no hospital in the area. Good schools and fine hospitals are important in recruiting quality persons to join our faculty." The total assessed property valuation for the communities of the area, according to Brubaker, is approximately $67,000,000. The limit on bonded indebtedness that may be incurred is one and a-half per cent of the assessed valuation. A proposed tax rate has been developed on the assumption that the maximum amount of money available (approximately $1,000,000) will be needed for the construction of a 65-bed hospital. This proposed tax rate, which also would provide for the operation of the hospital, is .00188 (18.8¢ per $100 assessed value). The tax on a property assessed at $10,000 would be $18.80. This means that for a property owner the total tax would increase only $18.80, Brubaker said. He urges members of the staff living in the area concerned to vote February 2 on this important matter. Brubaker joined the staff recently as professor of education and assistant to Vice President See in charge of research. He co.mes .to us from the University of Mississippi where he was a professor of education and director of the laboratory school. EMPLOYEES CREDIT UNION .. APPOINTED TO HOSPITAL COMMITTEE No sooner had H. B. BRUBAKER moved to Edwardsville than he was appointed to the Chamber of Commerce Hospital Committee which is conducting a campaign to establish an Edwardsville area hospital district. The Information about the Credit Union for all employees of the Southwestern Illinois Campus has been released by JOE R. SMALL, associate professor of business administration at East St. louis. "In the past two years the need for the establishment of an employees credit union has been increasingly �- 2 - apparent. This need became even more obvious as new staff members found the University could not loan money of any amount, even in the guise of a salary advance, except when paychecks were late in arriving or some such special situation. Consequently, the Falcon Investment Club created a committee from its group to determine what was necessary to establish such a credit union. We are happy to announce that our application to the State of Illinois for the establishment of the Southwestern Illinois Campus Employees Credit Union has been approved, issued, and received. Some further legal requirements must be completed before operations can be started. However, all necessary arrangements should be completed to permit initial operations to begin on February 1, 1960. This Credit Union is available to all full-time 'employees of this campus. The initial deposit for one share is at a cost of $5, p ] us a membership fee (payable only once) of $0.25. Membership may be obtained at the business offices at Alton for all employees at the Alton Center or East St. Louis for all employees at the East St. Louis cente1. The charter authorizes loans up to $200 on unsecured notes; over $200 to $2000 on secured notes, at interest rates of one per cent per month on unpaid balances below $1000, and one-half per cent on unpaid balances over $1000. The dividend rate on deposits, of course, is dependent upon the earnings of the Credit Union, but after the initial years of operations most credit unions are able to pay dividends of five to six per cent on all deposits . . .

He'll spend his morning after cat, wrapped in his still world drifting where he has no place, his river bobbed with all his jugs, constellations he thinks positioned worth his while. My fire expands a bubble in air while I define myself like one who wakes to pain inside his pearl, some digger great with tunnels whose art cracked under a universe of river. I ought to shout that fisher here to warm himself and weatherwise the dawn, and for his part I know some friendly itch to share these coals catches his disappointed sleeve. • But he's united stat es and ha s a hand in pocket want and so am I.

". . . Cameron W. Meredith of Southern Illinois University advocat e d self-re s t ra ine d silence on the part of the t ea cher or parent as the best way to foster an atmosphere of good behavior.
