Orchestra, Polyphonic Choir
To Present Program Sunday
A doctor of philosophy, com
manded to write a “Hymn of
Thanksgiving” to the Lord—that
was the status of Jakob Felix
Mendelssohn-Bartholdy on Febru
ary 26, 1840.
The music he wrote at the order
of the town council of Leipzig, Sax
ony, and first performed June 25,
1S40, will be repeated in the music
auditorium next Sunday at 3 p. m.
by the University Polyphonic choir
(first division) and the University
Symphony orchestra, with student
soloists. Arthur Boardman (will
direct.
In 1836, the University of Leip
zig conferred the honorary of Ph.D.
on Mendelssohn for his great suc
cesses throughout Germany and
England. He was the foremost or
ganist of Germany, and already
had become noted as a composer.
Music festivals in the German
states featured his music. The
great baronial castles maintained
court musicians to play his com
positions. Halevy, David, and oth
er famous composers of the day
sought to appear on his programs
as guest conductors.
Leipzig planned a great two-day
festival and celebration in com
memoration of the invention of the
printing press. A huge statue of
Gutenberg was ordered; Saxony’s
most talented sculptors and paint
ers were commissioned to prepare
their works for the festival. And
Mendelssohn was order to write
the music for the occasion.
On the first day of the ceremon
ies, Mendelssohn's “Festesang” was
performed at an outdoor concert.
It was written for two choruses
and a great orchestra. The French
composer, David, directed one cho
rus, Felix Mendelssohn the other.
The melodic these of the “Festge
sang" now is used in the English
Christmas hymn, "Hark, the Her
ald Angels Sing.”
On the afternoon of the second
day of the festival, a concert was
given in the church of St. Thomas,
and here was performed for the
first time the “Lobgesang,” or
“Hymn of Praise.”
The “Lobgesang” was imme*
diately recognized to be as impor
tant and as characteristic as any
of Mendelssohn’s works. A con
tract to produce the performance
in England was signed immediate
ly, and the following month Men
delssohn went to Birmingham,
England, to conduct the perform
ance.
i The king and crown prince of
j Saxony, having heard the first
performance, commanded a repe
tition in the fall music festivals,
and Mendelssohn return to Ger
many in October for this perform
ance.
So great was the king’s pleasure
that he offered Mendelssohn the
funds to establish a conservatory
of music in Leipzig, and asked him
to set to music several of the great
Greek tragedies, and to write mu
sic to accompany Shakespeare's
“Midsummer Night’s Dream.”
Periodically since 1840, when the
“Hymn of Praise” was sung at the
Gutenberg Memorial festival, the
work was repeated at music festi
vals in Europe, and now has be
come recognized as the best and
most beautiful work of its theme
in existence.
Industry Control
Upheld by Oregon
In W. S. C. Debate
fteedy, Campbell Support
Affirmative Side for
Central Board
That centralized control would
not only be impossible to accom
plish, but that it would destroy
individualism, the prized posses
sion of the American people, was
the context of the Washington
State college negative’s objections
to the plan of having industry
governed by a national board ad
vanced by the Oregon affirmative,
in the non-decision debate held
last night in Johnson hall.
The question discussed was:
“Resolved, That congress should
enact legislation providing for the
centralized control of industry.”
The representatives of the
Washington school were Lester
Stritmatter and Dewayne Krea
ger, who in company with an af
firmative team on the same ques
tion and the debate coach, W. H.
Veach, are making a tour of
Washington and Oregon, meeting
teams from all the major colleges
of the two states. The Oregon
team was composed of Kolia
Keedy and Wallace Campbell.
The negative extolled the advan
tages of the present system of
economic control in opposition to
any centralized plan. The loss of
competition, the life of trade, and
under government management
was deplored.
The affirmative case was built
up on the calamities that have be
fallen the country of late as char
acteristic of the highly praised
“laissez faire” doctrine of their
opponents.
A state of government in which
industry would be under the juris
diction of a national board, that
would have power to regulate pro
duction and competition, was ad
vanced as the solution of the
world's economic ills.
Walter E. Hempstead, instruc
tor of English, presided in the ca
pacity of chairman.

JAPAN BOYCOTT HELD
ESSENTIAL IN SOLUTION
(Continued from rage One)
my judgment, be ineffective, ill
advised and dangerous.”
Definite Decision Needed
Dr. Clark—“I desire that the
United States take an active part
in the coming meeting of the as
sembly of the League of Nations,
assist it in reaching a decision as
to what action shall be taken
against Japan, and that she sup
port such decision once it is made.
It is the intention of the league
covenant, of the Nine-Power treaty
guaranteeing the territorial integ
rity of China, and of the Paris
peace pact outlawing war, to all
of which agreements Japan is a
party, to prevent such aggressive
acts as those of which she has re
cently been guilty in her attacks
upon Manchuria and Shanghai.
"The United States led in the
making of the Nine Power treaty
and the Kellogg, or Paris peace
pact and should therefore take
something more than a sentimental
interest in their enforcement. An
economic boycott of her trade will
certainly bring Japan to terms and
seems the only way short of war
that will make her suffer a penalty
for her conduct. We should stand
ready to make whatever pecuniary
sacrifice the boycott may entail in
order to help sustain the ideals for
which the United States has
seemed to stand, such as, the right
of every people to work out its
own political salvation without
outside hindrance, and the ending
of the resort to war as ‘an instru
ment of national policy’.”
War vs. Peace
Dr. Noble “The fundamental
issue of the present China-Japar
conflict for the world at large i?
whether international disputes arc
to be settled by war, and hence
whether another “1914” is to come
upon us, or whether disputes are
to be settled by peaceful processes
to which the majority of the na
tions of the world, including Japan,
have pledged their support. If Ja
pan succeeds in her military ac
tivity in China all the post-war
treaties for the preserving of
peace may be looked upon as so
much waste paper.
“In order that this may not be,
and that a catastrophic war of the
future may be averted, I firmly
believe the United States should
join with the League of Nations,
in an economic boycott. Unques
tionably such action would force
Japan to end her aggressions and
would force her to adopt the ex
isting pacific machinery to settle
her quarrel. A boycott would be
expensive, but a short boycott now
would be far cheaper than a great
war later. The issue lies between
the enforcement of the existing
international law for the settle
ment of disputes, and irresponsible
force. The United States has its
choice.”
Deliberations Are Kssential
Dr. Morris “The economic
problems underlying the Sino-Jap
anese difficulties are capable of
solution only by the most careful
deliberations. The final, most
compelling sanction for such care
fully thought out solutions can
only be the force of public opin
ion. The immediate problem, how
ever, is to get both sides to the
dispute to accept the process of a
general conference as the means
of finding a solution.
“Repeated appeals have seem
ingly fallen upon deaf ears. It
would seem that the time had ar
rived for the nations to take con
certed action to preserve the pol
icy of settling all international dis
putes by the deliberative process,
rhe United States should join the
Mher nations of the world in such
concerted action, even, if neces
sary, resorting to economic pres
sure."
Dr. Mez "If the League of Na
sons should find Japan to be the

aggressor in the present conflict
and therefore decide to declare an
economic boycott against Japan,
such a boycott would naturally be
rendered quite ineffective without
the active cooperation of the
United States.
“It seems to me to be impera
tively incumbent upon the United
States at the present time to pre
pare such policies as should be-tak
en in the case that the League
should decide upon such action.
“An economic boycott would im
ply the suspension of all trade,
shipping, banking, postal and cable
service, all clearance of ships, sus
pension of travel, exchange of
news, and above all of payments in
both directions. America’s silk in
dustry would be seriously affected,
for it requires about one million
dollars worth of silk as a daily av
erage, and employs thousands of
workers.
“If it is true that Japan has
placed .$181,000,000 of orders for
munitions and war materials with
American firms as claimed by a
statement in the Oregonian of Feb
ruary 24, then obviously an eco
nomic boycott would interfere with
the selling of war materials, but
that is precisely what it is intend
ed to effect.
“America's "Open Door policy”
is involved in this struggle, so is
the sanctity of the Kellogg pact
for the renunciation of war, and
the Nine-Power treaty, agreed
upon as a result of the Washing
ton conference. The United States
cannot acquiesce to the violation
of these international instruments,
and should therefore in my opinion
closely cooperate with the League
of Nations in any step deemed de
sirable to localize or end the pres
ent bloody encounter in the Far
East.”
