Prof. Carl Lampert of Music
Department Is Director
of Production

The department of music of the
University will present the summer
school mixed chorus in a presentation of Gilbert and Sullivan's operetta, "Pinafore," In Memorial hall,
at 9 a. m. today. Professor Carl
A. Lampert, head of the department of music, will direct
Strangely enough, H. M. S. Pinafore, written and first performed in
England, owes its success to Americans who found it a genial satire
upon English
officialdom which
could be applied to humanity generally. Sullivan's sparkling melodies
soon were universally whistled, and
the American success was repeated
in London, actually leading up to
the establishment of the Savoy
theatre and a long string of light
operatic successes including "The
Mikado," "The Pirates of Penzance," and "Patience."
W. S. Gilbert's death, which occurred in 1911, was a Gllbertian affair In Itself, the librettist, well advanced in years, leaping into a
shallow ornamental lake to save a
lady from drowning, of which, in
fact, she was in no danger.

officials now face the problem of
adapting the 1937 summer session to the re

period.
President McVcy has appointed a committee
to investigate the various problems which will
have to be met before this can come about.
This committee already has begun to work, and.
no doubt, will be prepared when the time conies
to put into use the plans it proposes to present
to set to functioning the new length.
Only time will tell whether or not the single
term will prove best. By this lime next summer, state and University officials should know
which will tend to bring about the best jxissible
results to be obtained from a summer session.
