A mailing piece entitled “The Covenant Story in Music and Dramatic Narration,” was dis tributed by the board to all "•’niters and directors of Christian Education throughout the General Assembly. The pamphlet ‘explains: “With the launching of the Covenant Life Curriculum, a new interest in the biblical Covenant is sweeping the A hurch. Aware of this interest and caught up in it themselves, the members of the Presbyte rian Choir decided to make, their seventh recording an in terpretation of the Covenant in song. The record they cut is so fine that it is being made avail able through our Presbyterian Book Stores.” Dr. Edouard Patte, now in his 17th year as conductor, di rects the 31-voice male group in this hgih-fidelity recording pressed 6y RCA Victor. The- program ranges from the depth of Bach to the simplicity of the Negro spiritual in 13 en- during selections rendered by the tenor-bass choir. Mrs. L. F.

The Chronicle Publishing Co. is sponsoring the tea between 3:00 p. m. and 5:00 p. m. A cordial invitation is extended to the public to come and visit with Dr. and Mrs. Connelly at this time. Sales of the book, which pokes light-hearted fun at the professional Confederate today, are going well in various sec tions of the country, according to reports from McGraw Hill. It has received favorable men tion in The New York Times book review section and other national notice. “Will Success Spoil Jeff Da vis?” has as its sub-title “The Last Book About the Civil War.” With accompanying il lustrations by Campbell Grant, one of America’s best-known whimsical illustrators, the 143- page book pokes a humorous tongue through the cheek of the overly serious approach to Civil War roundtables, centen nial celebrations and roadside tourist appeals. Tom Connelly spoofs himself most of all. A strong Southern er, who was born and reared in Tennessee and who had three great • grandfathers to fight for the Confederacy, he is a longtime Civil War buff. He has tramped the battle sites, participated in roundtable de bates over war strategy and lectured to numerous groups on tbe subject. A native of Nashville, he says: “I grew up on the Civil War battlefields. I couldn’t go a half-mile without passing a house that wasn’t a field hos pital for the Confederacy or something like that.” Connelly was graduated mag- na cum laude from David Lips, comb College in 1959, received his master’s from Rice Univer sity in 1961 and his doctorate there last June. He joined the PC faculty in September. At Rice, he became the first graduate student to win two coveted awards, the John Gardner Award for the best dissertation in the humanities and the Longscope Award for research in history. Dr. Wil liam H. Masterson, dean of humanities there, summed up his opinion in these words: "There is little doubt in my mind that Connelly is one of those rare graduate students who combine an original mind, a deep conscientiousness and a genuine concern for students.” ALMA I.
