No. 16
Sterling Will Lead Group In Presentation of Own Number
The University of Miami Symphony orchestra will give its third concert of the year next Sunday afternoon in the Miami High School auditorium. After their rest of two weeks, William J. Kopp, conductor, has selected a very interesting program.
Included will be a composition by Professor W. S. Sterling of the University — his Octette, scored for this concert, however, for piano, string orchestra, two clarinets, and flute. The composer has called his work “Eine Harmonische Frage”, or an harmonic question, as it is replete with dissonances and ends on an unresolved dissonance.
The symphony selected for this concert is Haydn’s “Military Symphony” (No. 11 in G Minor). It begins with a slow movement and develops into its true spirit, that of a lively march.
The complete program is as follows:
I.	Magic Flute Overture Mozart
II.	Symphony No. 11 in Haydn
G Minor
a.	Largo - Allegro
b.	Allegretto
c.	Minuet
d.	Finale Presto

U.’s Winter Institute Is Lauded By Eminent Guests At Gathering
The Winter Institute of Literature is an ambitious program which will focus the interest of writers on Miami and the University of Miami, as well as bring to students, residents and visitors a wealth of cultural things, Edward Davison told the University of Miami society Thursday evening in a short talk given at a reception held in honor of Mr. Davison and Percival Wilde. Mr. Davison complimented Dr. Orton Lowe and the university on the well organized ground work which made it possible for him and other creative writers to lecture or “talk on the things that are nearest their hearts.” Mr. Davison has lectured during the week on “British Poetry Since 1890.”
Percival Wilde confessed to such love for Miami that he makes his home here each, winter. He will give a series of lectures, “Toward a Modem Drama,” beginning Jan. 25. In commenting on the work of the Institute of Literature, he said: “Miami epitomizes and is an outstanding example of American creative effort. The Winter Institute of . Literature will bring here many outstanding creative writers who will contribute something of a real cultural value to the life of the community.”
Miss Helen Flanagan sang “Life,” by Curran; “Ah, Love, But a Day,” by Beach, and “Love’s Pilgrimage," by Mana-Zucca. She was accompanied by Joe Tarpley at the piano.
President B. F. Ashe spoke briefly on the years of planning which have resulted in offering this year for the first time the Institute of Literature. Dr. Orton Lowe announced the coming lectures, which
include Mr. Wilde, Zona Gale, Pad-riac Colum and Carl Sandburg. Judge A. A. Godard, president of the society, announced two receptions honoring other institute lecturers, at dates to be announced. The society met at the Roney Plaza hotel.
By Nedra McNamara
The second week of the Winter Institute of Literature was opened by the noted American playwright, Percival Wilde, with a discussion of “The Evolution of the One-Act Play in the Twentieth Century."
Mr. Wilde is well able to speak with authority on the one-act play, for he is a leader in the Little Theatre movement in America and has had more one-act plays published and produced than any other American playwright.
The beginning of the century was, he said, characterized by free experimentation. Those who deserve special mention for their work are Arnold Daly, George Middleton, and Percy Mackaye.
One of the largest stepping stones of the one-act plays on the way to prominence, was the Abbey Theatre of Dublin, which is the grandfather of the Little Theatre. It owes its suddef establishment to four great authcrs—John Millington Synge, William Butler Yeats, Lady Gregory, anc Maurice Maeterlinck. From the productions of this group grew the Little Theatre.
The Little The* re progressed very rapidly both aoroad and in America until the war, which exterminated the movement for the time being. Practically every one connected with the theatre went off to war.
After the war, the Little Theatre’s growth was as that of the mushroom. Where there had been one, there grew five. The Washington Square Players played Maeterlinck’s “Inferior” in an put of the way place in New York and were famous overnight. Likewise, the Provincetown Players found fame with O’Neill’s productions.
Mri Wilde said that of goo 1 drama, there is little that cannot be traced to Strindberg and Tche-kov.
Returning to the growth of the Little Theatre, Mr. Wilde stated that a great American institution has been the traveling company.. Plays which found sudden death in New York often found vast suc-(Continued on Page Four)

Ground which once saw the sinister activities of brigands and freebooters will soon echo to the war cries of men with butterfly nets and microscopes in place of sabers and pistols.
A section of land 200 feet in width and extending from Biscayne Bay to the sea on Elliott’s Key has ! been donated to the University of Miami as a part of its great program of research and exploration in the endless fields of science.
The strip, measuring nearly two miles in width, was given to the : school by the Tropical Trades Company, a Florida corporation composed chiefly of residents of Coconut Grove. Officers of the organization are Dr. John Gifford, president; H. B. Justison, vice-president; and A. J. Cummins and A. W. Frantz. Dr. Gifford is professor of tropical forestry at the university's late-afternoon and evening classes.
The land donated is tropical in I formation and growths, and offers a field for all lines of investigation in botany and zoology, The shores of the bay and of the ocean afford excellent grounds for investigation | in marine flora and fauna. Just opposite the university’s holdings is Mangate shoals, one of the | country’s finest marine gardens.
The establishment of this field for active tropical research is in line with the school’s plan for a 1 distinct bureau and department of i research and exploration. The . island, which is 23 miles south of Miami, is easily available to Northern instructors and investigators who wish to study the growths and animal life peculiar to this region. Plans for a small laboratory and camp on the land are
