The pronounced success of Prof. Glen’s music festival at the University of Washington, in which a chorus of one hundred and twenty-five voices sang cantatas, accompanied by an or chestra of thirty pieces, and to which twelve hundred people listened and waxed enthusiatic, reminds us of a similar festival held at the University; of Oregon two years ago. This Oregon festival was lead by one, I. M. Glen also; a chorus of one hundred and twenty-five picked voices from the University and city of Eu gene, sang the same cantatas as did! the Washington chorus; the orchestra contained thirty pieces, twenty of whom were members of Portland mu sical organizations; and, in addition, six soloists of note contributed to the class of the occasion. The Oregon festival, however, was not heard by twelve hundred people,! no, not even by eight hundred, in fact, I in the two concerts given the number1 attending did not aggregate over six hundred people. I he newspapers I printed all the advanced reading mat ter given them, as par agreement, but I did not deam it potent to devote any space after the festival to an appre ciation of the work done by Prof. Glen and his associates. A nice little deficit of three hundred dollars was the only present this 1. M. Glen got for his ef-J forts to interest the students and citi zens of Eugene in festival music. Is it any wonder that the University, Choral Society is now defunct, or that Prof. Glen welcomed the chance to leave his Alma Mater? Some one said, a prophet is not ap preciated in his own country; he would have been correct had he generalized the statement, for it is true that we all underestimate our blessings. Just why the students in Seattle should en joy the highest of all forms of music, ensemble work, and the students in Eugene turn a deaf ear to it, is hard to determine. We are extremely loth to say that the Seattle students have reached a higher stage of civilization, musically, than we, anil yet a compar ison of the two festivals points in that direction. Probably our much smaller population accounts for the difference, or, perhaps, we are too busy with the more material things of life to heed the sublime. Whatever it is. it is regretable, and reflects on us as individuals and as an institution. The question is now rampant about the campus as ti whether the new skating rink will be a fit place for University students of both sexes to frequent. Skating is a pastime many people delight in and there is a real desire among the students to use the new rink, providing it be conducted properly. The question will be settled as are all such question, by the public itself. If the desired element frequent the place, the undesired element will be relegated to the background, but if the undesired element is allowed to set the standards for the place, the other element will stay away. The old exposition rink in Portland was a good example of how a public place can be conducted along desired lines it got started right. It might be well to start this one the same way. Edison says we sleep too much. President Campbell says we don’t sleep enough.
