C.” The University of Miami is the first school to undertake this noteworthy project, and the Hurricane deserves a great deal of praise for sponsoring the program and thereby assisting the government bureau of identification,” he stated. In discussing the Civil Files he said, “There are now over sixty thousand prints, which have been volun tarily sent in, classified in the Bureau’s files.” R. B. Nathan, Special Agent in charge of the Jacksonville office of the Bureau of Investigation, is the “G-Man” whom the chief of the federal bureau has instructed to be at the University to address the assembly. James Barker, head of the Miami Police Department’s Investigation Bureau, will assist Mr. Nathan in taking prints afterwards. They will be in the auditorium until the afternoon. Anyone interested in this subject, whether or not they are attending the University, is invited to attend. The world-famous Westminster Chorus, under the direction of Dr. John Finley Williamson, will be presented in a concert with the University of Miami Symphony Orchestra Monday evening, February 24, at 8:30 p.m. in the Miami High school auditorium. In the fourteen years since the organization of the chorus, the symphonic singers have made two European tours. The tour last year covered eleven countries. They were praised by leading critics in every country visited, receiving overwhelming acclaim in Russia. American critics have praised them both as musicians and as ambassadors of good will. Dr. Williamson is interested in the work of American composers and features American compositions on all his tours. There are forty-one members of the chorus, each member an accomplished pianist or organist. Each must keep himself in perfect health. The chorus practices at least an hour every day in the year. The program, as scheduled by the Westminster Chorus, is as follows: Wake Up, Sweet Melody and Go Down Moses (Noble Cain); Steal Away (Negro Spiritual); Listen to the Mocking Bird (Hawthorne); Old Man River (Jerome Kern) ; Slumber Song (Fisher) ; Beautiful Savior (Christiansen; Echo Song (Di Lasse); and Prelude and Love Death from “Tristan and Isolde” (Wagner). The symphony orchestra will render Beethoven’s Symphony No. 3, which is more commonly known as “Eroica.” Chasins Appears in Concert With Symphony Orchestra ---------1, Pryor Will Appear As Guest Conductor Here Chem Head Granted Y ear Leave of Absence Dr. Walter Walker to Establish Research Department for Chemical Company SYMPHONY PRAISED BY NOTED PIANIST By Efpie Smith Abram Chasins, piano virtuoso and composer, who .recently appeared as guest soloist with the University of Miami Symphony Orchestra in a number of delightful concerts, was very much impressed with the splendid work which the orchestra is doing under the leadership of Mr. Arnold Volpe. Mr. Chasins said that during his last trip to Europe he had occasion to play with many of the orchestras there comparable in prestige with America’s own New York Philharmonic and Philadelphia orchestras. After rehearsal with the University of Miami Symphony Orchestra, he was pleased to place the student orchestra among the others with which he has played. Mr. Chasins wonders why Americans are so often blindly devoted to everything in the world of art abroad to the neglect of their own artists here at home. He went on to say, if we gave the University of Miami Orchestra a Soviet name, and advertised it was on an American tour, for the first time, we would have special trains from New York bringing people down to Miami to hear it. “And about the only difference would be that you’d hear a much finer program played by the University Symphony than if you had heard a real Soviet importation.” “Dr. Walter O. Walker has been granted a year’s leave of absence from the University,” announced President B. F. Ashe yesterday. “Dr. Walker, who has been Professor of chemistry here for four years,” continued Dr. Ashe, “will establish the research department of the Ansul Chemical Works, of Merin-ette, Wisconsin. He has been consultant for this company for several years.” During the year 1936-37, his place will be filled by Dr. E. V. Hjort, of the University of Pittsburgh. Dr. Hjort has been given a year’s leave of absence from that University. Enrollemnt in this department has increased three hundred percent under the direction of Dr. Walker and he has also secured a change in the requirements for the degree in chemistry from three to five years. Another thing that the doctor has to his credit, is the initiation of a soil survey of Dade County. Arthur Pryor, one of the greatest band conductors will appear as guest conductor of the University Symphonic Band at the regular concert, March 23rd. Pryor is well known to Miamians, having played the Miami park concerts for some years with his famous band. Mr. Sheaf -fer was solo clarinetist and assistant conductor of Pryor’s band at the time and it was during the Miami stay that Mr. Sheaffer decided to make Coral Gables his permanent home. Mr. Pryor will arrive here about two weeks before the concert and will work with Mr. Sheaffer preparing the band for the concert. 1936 Ibis Photo Appointments Are Announced Photograph Editor Requests Upper Classmen to Call For Appointments Pictures for the Ibis are being taken this week and next, according to an announcement by Roma Pape, photograph editor.

Mr. Chasins, who has the impetus for the concert said of it in an interview yesterday: “The establishment of a fine symphony orchestra is as important to a community as the establishment of a fine university.

A satire on modern society, it proved to be a whimsical, enjoyable production. Dr. Roberts, professor of French at the University stated: “For several years Rene Clair’s pictures have been splendid representative films, both in France and in America. His productions are modern and rapid in movement, reflecting their spirit in musical scores.” In regard to the added attraction of Tuesday’s presentation, Dr. Roberts remarked, “Les Mirages de Paris” was an interesting comedy, probably most valuable for the sidelights it offered of the backstage (Continued on Back Page) Dr. Victor Andres Belaunde, former head of the Latin American department of the University of Miami, has been appointed by the Peruvian government ambassador from that country to Switzerland and delegate to the League of Nations.
