They cannot, they say, 'ggh Uncle Sam’s two hundred ca, fjfty thousand dollar check i two hundred and fifty thousand dollars of gold, and they object, not only object, but refuse. There is a point of honor involved here. The money was promised in gold. Why shouldn’t it be paid in gold'? And because Uncle Sam ¡ot only remembers his promises, but keeps them, it is not unsafe to expect that Panama will get its desired gold.
Hitler apologizes to the Soviet government for insulting one of the Russian officials! When the head of one country apologizes to another country whose government he strenuously disagrees with and objects to, the world is progressing. it shows that he knows the whole of one country is stronger than the head of another. Could it show that Hitler is weakening? Perhaps not.
And so the fourth annual Winter Institute has come to a close. And what could be more fitting and impressive than to close the session with America’s foremost poet, Robert Frost? Did anyone notice how distinctly different one side of Mr. Frost’s face is from the other? His left profile is an entirely different man from his right profile, the only thing they have in common being, one deep, blue laughing eye in each. Thanks to the University for making this institute possible, to the lecturers for making it worth while, to Dr. Lowe for running it all, and to the audience for mak-'nS it successful. To have attended this institute makes you 1 egretful that you were not able to attend every preceding year, and anxious to attend every future one.

‘Fourth Winter Institute Closes
In Fitting Manner,” Says Dr. Lowe
“Nothing could have been better than the closing of the fouith annual meeting of the Winter Institute of Literature with a lecture by Robert Frost on “Before the Beginning and After the End of a Poem.”
The crowded assembly hall was a fitting approval of what America’s greatest living poet might say. What he did say about what has happened to him and what has occurred to him, together with the reading of a few of his poems, will long stay in the memories of the students who heard him. Though not a third of the student body of the University heard Robert Frost lecture, his being here this year has emrched the inner life of the students who did hear him.
The academic value of the Institute is evident, particularly for the students who are English majors, and they should lend support. To students majoring in other departments there is a cultural value in the session of the Institute. So would there be a value to English majors in listening to the sessions of an institute of science, or in history or iof any field of learning. More students than one hundred should follow the Institute through for each successive meeting.
It is well for students to keep in mind the original idea back of the Institute, the idea that the instructors should first of all become known for their creative work in poetry, in fiction, in drama, in (Please turn to page two)
Mrs. William C. Boyer, medical missionary in the Congo, was the principal speaker at the last meeting of the Y. W. C. A. held Friday in the Social Hall. In her talk on “Women in Congo,” she gave a fascinating account of the work and life of the natives.
“Congo girls have a hard life,” said Mrs. Boyer, “and they are really far from appearing civilized to our modern girls. When a boy decides to marry a girl he informs his folks and his relatives. They in turn go to visit her folks and relatives and barter for the girl.
Theirs is a matriarchial line, for as Mrs. Boyer said, “They know who the mother is. Polygamy is also practiced and funny as it might seem the many wives of one husband always agree.”
Mrs. Boyer in conclusion, told her audience of the great change that the Christian religion has made in the lives of the natives. Superstition once held them in its sway, but slowly the people of the Congo are accepting “white man’s” religion, and consequently they are progressing in civilization.
Manon Scotta, pianist, will be presented by the University of Miami Conservatory this evening, March 4, at 8:30 o’clock, in Recital Hall.
Manon Scotta began her musical education at the age of four. She studied under Sofie Menter the famous Liszt pupil; also under Johanne Stockmars of the Court pianist, and Professor Schmid-Lindner of the Conservatory of Munich.
Her concert work included appearances in Germany, Holland, Denmark and Iceland. Her radio work has also been oustanding.
Her program will include Toccata and Fugue (in D Minor), Bach; Moonlight Sonata, Op. 27, No. 2, Addagio sostenuto, Allegretto, Presto agitato, Beethoven; Prelude G Major, Rachmaninoff; Etude C Minor, Prokofieff; Sunken Cathedral, Debussy; Nocturne No. 13, Chopin; Soirees des Viennes, Schubert-Liszt.
On March 11 the regular Monday night concert will be presented by the Faculty String Quartet.
Mischa Elman, premier violinist of the modern world, will appear here Thursday, March 7, as guest soloist with the University Symphony Orchestra.
The concert, taking the place of the regularly scheduled one for March 4, will be held in the auditorium oi Miami Senior High School. Mr. Elman will play the same Tschaikowsky Concerto that he played is his first American recital in New York at the age of seventeen.
In commenting on that recital, Dr. Arnold Volpe, conductor of the University of Miami Symphony, said: “Well I remember the sensation created by Mischa Elman, then seventeen, when he made his first appearance playing Tschaikowsky’s Concerto with the Russian Symphony in New York.”
“I am happy and proud that Mischa Elman, whose popularity has been so tremendous throughout the world, will honor us by being guest soloist at the next concert by the University of Mi-(Please turn to page six)

“Gates of Paradise,” by Cloyd Head,
Cast For First Stage Performance
“The Gates of Paradise” will be presented next week on the evenings of March 13 and 14 in the University Playhouse.
This is the first time Cloyd Head comes to the audience of Miami as a playwright. He is the author of “Grotesque,” originally produced in Chicago’s Little Theater. Also, in collaboration with Eunice Tietjens (Mrs. Head) he wrote “Arabesque” produced on Broadway by Norman-Bel Geddes. And so, having seen Cloyd Head the director, we now see him in the additional role of playwright.
“The Gates of Paradise” is placed in Persia during the great Empire, and touches on one of the most curious and interesting figures in history, “The old man of the mountain,” founder of the or-
der of the assassins, sitting like a spider in his armed fortress at Alamut, held the empire in a web of terror. The action of the story centers around a young nobleman who becomes a pawn in the battle of the giants.
This is the most elaborate production yet undertaken by the University. Four sets are being constructed. Incidental music is being written especially for the play by Frank Harris. The costumes are made to suggest the richness of the oriental court. Very delicate lighting is to be used.
The cast, in order of their appearance are as follows:
Omar Khayyam _ Stanley B. Rose The Nizamul-Mulk
William Probasco
