Beethoven’s Fifth Symphony Theme Of Fifth Concert
U. of M. Orchestra Wil Give Program In M. H. S. Hall Next Sunday
The fifth concert of the University of Miami Symphony orchestra is scheduled for Sunday afternoon in the Miami High school auditorium. Mr. William Kopp will conduct, and Cameron McLean, baritone, is to be guest artist. He will sing “Land of Hope and Glory” by Elgar. This stirring theme is taken from Sir Edward Elgar’s mighty coronation march, “Pomp and Circumstance”. Mr. McLean is recognized as one of America’s foremost baritones.
The keystone of the concert will be Beethoven’s Fifth Symphony in C Minor. This is beyond doubt one of the finest examples of symphonic music, for the composer allowed free rein to his imagination, and was at the heighth of his powers when he conceived it.
Schubert, the classicist, is represented by the overture to Rosa-munde, to be played as the third number on the program. This selection is from the opera Rosa-munde, which is not performed any more, due to the complexity and improbability of the plot. The complete program for Sunday afternoon is as follows:
Prelode - Lohengrin	Wagner
Srmphonr No. 5 in G Minor Allegro con brio Andante con moto Allegro Finale allegro	Beethoven
INTERMISSION	
Overture Rosamunde	Shubert
Land of Hope and Glory Cameron McLean. Baritone	Elgar
The Damnation of Faust	Beri.oz
Dance of the Sylphs Hungarian March
WINTER INSTITUTE WILL BE REPEATED
Registration To Be Required Of All Who Major In English
From an academic point of view the Winter Institute of Literature has been a marked success. The opportunity given to University students to be instructed in field of literature by celebrated poets, playwrights, novelists is an unusual one, and one that is not generally found in American universities. So valuable and interesting is such an approach to the field of letters that hereafter students who elect an English major will be required to enroll in the Winter Institute of Literature, “English 41 — The Modern Aspects of Literature”, for two credits taken in one year or in two separate years. This course will be scheduled at the time of registration in order that conflicts may be avoided.
The interest in the Institute shown by University students and the number enrolling for the first session have been very gratifying. Their support has been of great help in making the first session of fhe Institute a success.

Artiat and Troupe Appear At M.H.S. Auditorium On Saturday
By Pauline Lasky There are no “isms’ or “istics” in the art of Ted Shawn, foremost American male dancer, who will appear at the Miami High School auditorium Saturday afternoon and evening, February 27. His concert will be for the benefit of the University of Miami Symphony Orchestra, and students of the university who wish reserved seats at the reduced rate of 75c will go to the Conservatory at the university, and obtain them.
The Society, of which Judge A. A. Godard is president, Julian Eaton vice-president, and Raymond Pauly treasurer, was originated by Miss Bertha Foster and Judge Godard, and was organized in the spring and summer of 1931.
During an interview with Judge Godard, who is a former attorney-general of Kansas, and who occupied the post of trustee for many years at Washburn College in Topeka, he said, “I think the Institute is a fine thing and of real value to the university. This session has been very successful and has been managed by Dr. Lowe in a most effective manner.”
Dr. Lowe realizes perhaps more than anyone the indebtedness of the university to the society whicl has taken its name. In continuing the expression of his gratitude he said, “I have been particularly gratified by the well conducted series of receptions given by the society in which the work of the Institute was made known\ to a wider pubic.
“Mrs. Henry Salém Hubb' chairman of the entertainment' committee of the Society, was untiring in her efforts to provide excellent places for holding these receptions, and in preparing the most interesting of programs.
“Judge Godard, who was present to take charge of the programs, has not only been a helpful friend of the Institute, but also a devoted well-wisher to the interests of the University of Miami.”

In Plants Progresses
Dr. A. H. Gilbert, instructor in botany, announced that the botany department is carrying on a cooperative project in the study of avocado pollination in the Redlands area. Mr. T. W. Young, graduate student of botany at Purdue, is stationed at Redlands working with Dr. A. B. Stout, who is investigating along these lines.
On Thursday evening of last week a meeting of the Avocado Growers of the Miami area was held at the university and a program was presented. The main speech was by Dr. Stout, in whic*' he outlined the investigation whicn he and Mr. Young are conducting and explained the application of the local practices in avocado culture. Other speakers were Mr. Francis Dolan, president of the Avocado Exchange; Mr. W. J. Krome; and Mr. Harold W. Dorn, manager of the Avocado Exchange.
This avocado research is but one example of the tropical investigation problems that are present in great variety and abundance in South Florida, and it is the solving of these problems that the University of Miami looks forward to through this Research Council.
The University has an attractive field for graduate students who

Professor To Teach At Summer Session For U. S. Students at Lima College
Di. Victor Andres Belaunde, essor of Latin American His-and Institutions of the University of Miami, and head of the Latin American department here, will be one of a group of noted Peruvian instructors who will conduct a special American summer session at the University of San Marcos, Lima, Peru, next summer. Dr. Belaunde is a former professor of History in the Lima institution, and is now active in the political life of the country.
The Institution of International Education has planned and organized the American session at the Peruvian University; The Peruvian government and the Pan American Union have cooperated with the Institute in estabishing the project, and the Grace Steamship company has made a substantial reduction in round-trip fares from New York to Lima for the students from the United States.
The summer school at San Marcos is intended primarily for graduate students and teachers whose interest lies in South American history and culture. Special attention will be given to the study of Inca civilization centered around the numerous remains of the early the Peruvian capital. A ten-day field trip will be arranged for the students of advanced archeology to the ruins near Cuzo.
wish to specialize in tropical botany or horticulture and as more students apply for such opportunities, more facilities for tropical research may be provided.
The word “modern” is defined by Shawn as “related to passing customs of today”. He visualizes the dance without temporary quality, and believes that the dancer should be concerned only with things of eternal value.
In a recent lecture at Roerich Hall in New York City, Shawn pointed out that there is a tremendous range of movement which is masculine, and which lends itself to the performance of the male dancer, and to him alone. Only in the well-trained masculine dancer does the art of the dance find its real strength, its supporting backbone. Women have, up to the present time, largely claimed the art of Terpsichore as their own, although there have been notable exceptions in the Russian Ballet and elsewhere. That, however, should not dissuade young men from entering the field of the dance. Shawn believes that the world’s great dancers will be men, and that the next decade will show an avalanche of young men choosing the dance as an artistic outlet. Working along these lines, Shawn has already acquired a farm in the Berkshire Hills, and remodelled the barn into a gymnasium studio. There he spent the late summer and fall training a concert group of four young men, who appear with him at the high «chool auditorium Saturday, February 27, in some of the dances he has created especially for male performance. Instead of the Greenwich Village, pink-tea sort of life which is generally attributed to male dancers, Shawn and his group come to this concert fresh from long days spent not only in the studio, but in cutting logs, damming a brook to make a swimming pool, hunting deer and partridge through the woodlands, and remodelling an old farm into a camp-studio. “Most of our training was done in corduroys and boots,” Shawn admits. “But I want to prove to the world that dancing is as manly a sport as the Olympic games.”
One of the outstanding successes of Ted Shawn’s concert program Saturday will be a Brahms Rhapsody which the artist performs with four men dancers. As another part of his program, Shawn will introduce a new number based upon the life of St. Francis of Assisi, entitled “O Brother Sun and Sister Moon”. This delicate and sincere appreciation of the underlying character and cosmic theology of St. Francis is the result of years of study on the part of Ted Shawn. It is set to music
