Alexander Borovsky was born in Latvia. He is a graduate of the St. Petersburg conservatory, where he won the gold medal and Rub-enstein prize. He was about twenty-five when the Moscow conservatory invited him to conduct their master piano classes. Since then, he has appeared with Bruno Walter, Leopold Stokowski, John Barbirolli, Erich Kleiber, Sir Henry Wood and others. Culminating a South American tour, Borovsky appeared in Buenos Aires last October. Mr. Borovsky’s appearance in Miami will afford many listeners their first opportunity to hear him since he played at Carnegie Hall with Serge Kous-sevitzky a decade ago.
Olin Downes of the New York Times describes Borovsky’s appearance with Koussevitzky as follows: “Mr. Borovsky played the piano with a clearness, polish and feeling for Bach’s style which are rare. He has a prodigious virtuosity and he is at home in music which often presents very difficult technical problems. But Mr. Borovsky played Bach with spon-taniety and ease which bespoke not only a clear technical conscience but a profound musicality, taste and self-effacement which centered the audience’s attention upon the music. The audience saw to it that Mr. Borovsky received due recognition/'
As the final event of the 1943-44 concert series, the school of music will present an oratorio, Haydn’s “The Creation,” April 16, at the Miami senior high school auditorium, 4:15 p.m.

Pictured above, left to right) are Robert Froet, poet, and Edward Wrelu, editor of the "Atlantic Monthly”, whose lectnres next week will open the eleventh annual Winter Institute of Arts and Sciences.
ROBERT FROST
“Sometime I have my doubts of words altogether,” says Poet Robert Frost, who will deliver the first Winter Institute lecture, “and I ask myself what is the place of them. They are worse than nothing unless they do something; unless they amount to deeds as in ult»matums and battle-cries . . . My definition of poetry (if I were forced to give one) would be this: words that have become deeds.”
Robert Frost had his first poem published when he was fifteen. But his was a new type of poetry and the world did not fully appreciate his work until twenty five years later, when “North of Boston” established him as one of our forer,.ost poets.
Frost is a realist. He says: “There are two types of realist —the on? who offers a good deal of dirt with his potato, to show that it is a real one, and the one who is satisfied with the potato brushed «-lean. I’m inclined to be the second kind ... To me, the thing thet art does for life is to strip it to form.'’
The Pulitzer prize for poetry has been awarded to Frost three times, in 1924, 1931, and 1937. Some of his later books are: “Collected Poems,” “A Further Range,” “From Snow to Snow,” “A Witness Tree,” and “Come In and Other Poems.”

ALL WE ASK IS AN HONEST LIVING
It‘s been tough going, but the University of Miami Hurricane for the past two trimesters has operated successfully by dint of hard work and because of the co-operative attitude of both students and faculty members.
Now, with the beginning of the third trimester, it is important that members of the faculty and student body be reminded of the need for their subscriptions.
The publication of the Hurricane is important, not only to students enrolled at
the present time, but also to the two hundred and fifty forme, students now in the armed services whb receive the Hurricane by mail.
You will be contacted in the next few days by a Hurricane representative. Won’t you let him sell you a subscription so that the Hurricane may continue publication? If you prefer, yon may depo. it an envelope with your name and 6G cents in the Hurricane po6t office box. Thank you.
