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. At the time the article was written, Banaghan and the co-author, Hugh McLean, were serving as clinical psychologists on the staff of Napa State Hospital in Imola, California. 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.

Condon, head of the physics department at Washington University, that he has been awarded a National Science Foundation grant to attend the Academic Year Institute at Washington University. 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. Dr. Bunche is especially well-known for solving the Arab-Jew crisis in the Holy Land shortly after World War II. He and his wife will stay with re l atives living in Alton.
