proximately Fifteen
Years
During Christmas holidays one of
Carolina's most faithful servants died

unassuming, he knewv the library from
top to bottom. To the assiduous debater.

ECHOLS GIVES
MUSIC PROGRAM
IN UNI. CHAPEL
Held Under Auspice of Dept. of
Music and Accompanied by
Mrs. Matteson
NOTED ..TENOR SINGS
Selection Divided Into Five
Groups-Four in Tradition
al Classic Style
Weylnd Echols, promising young tenor
appeared in a recital at the University
Chapel, Thursday nikht, January 9, at
8:30 o'clock. Mr. Echols presented his
program under the auspicies of the De
partment of Music and his accompanist
was Mrs. Maurice Matteson, wife of
the Director of the music department.
Mr. Echols delighted an audience of
music lovers not only with his able in
terpretation and charming voice but
with his disarming personality which
seemed to put him and his audience upon
a plane of cordial friendship almost at
once.
Especially noteworthy in the recital
was his rendition of "Gesang Weyla's"
by Hugo Wolf. He executed this difficult
number with brilliance and sure tech
nique. I
Mr. .Echols is likewise remarkable
for the facility with which he turns to
French, Itaian or German music in the
language in which they were written.
This "gift of tongues" is most unusual
in one so young and his mastery of such
true fudamentals in deserving of much
,raise.
Mr. F.echols' program was divided
into five groups, of which the first four
were rendered in the traditional classic
style. 'rhe last division was strictly
modern, comprising such works as Char
les T. Griiffes' Symphony in Yellow"
and others.
In encores the young tenor showed
himself generous. He gave four, of which
the lovliest was perhaps Massenet's fa
mous Elegie. For his last encore, Mr.
Echols was his own accompanist, which
pleased his udience greatly.
Mrs. Matteson throughout the even
ing gave to the piano score a sureness of
touch and a sensitive interpretation that
added much to the evening.

Secretary of National Y.M.C.A.
Tells of Experience in
China
Fltcher Brockman, assistant secretary
of the national Y. M. C. A. and general
.,c.retary of the "Y" in China, gave one
of the most interesting talks heard
at. the Sunday y meetings this year. It
was given color by the personal and in
timate experiences of the speaker.
In th lxunning of his speech, he
poinltedl out how, due to modern inven
tions, the world is becoming smaller.
Mr. Fletcher reviewved his experiencs
in China, told how the students num
bering 30,000 would come to Nanking
once every three years to take the ex
ami nations.
Continuinig, lhe said : "[t took the stu
dents nine (lays to complete the exams,
many of them dying from the strain
and only one half of one percent could
get their degree according to lawv."
"China in 1898 was backward", the
government was undler an absolute mon
arch, who at one time ordered our
execution but fortunately we escaped,
it looked as if our chances to organize
a Y. M. (C. A. was impossible."
"There was only' one Christian in the
town. The p)eople refused advice but
many of thenm went to Japan where
they received and took counsel. From
this point, success was ours. At this
junicture, a revolution was sta.rting in the
interior of China an C.rist.*,'m 'v was
given a good impetus and has grownl
ever since.
In concluding Mr. Blrockmanl made a
strong plea for the student to seek
.jnly a useful career.
He concluded: "No generation ever
had suich opportunities as we have here
in this age, so plan you-r lives only for
thie great things; let your souls expand
and you will have success."
