Remarks from Dr. Lodge’s Address in Chapel Tuesday Morning. The first faculty concert of the sea son was given in the auditorium at Limestone College Monday evening. Of the event Dr. Lee Davis Lodge, president of the college, said, in an address before the students Tuesday morning: “The recital of Monday evening given by Director Henry Foote Per rin was a grand musical triumph. If ever there was a triumph of merit, pure and unassisted merit, that of last evening was such a triumph. 1 am prouder than ever before of Lime stone College. All round, 1 believe we have the best department of mu sic in the State of South Carolina. The musician of last evening show ed such wonderful insight into each masterpiece as to enable us to catch a glimpse of the artist’s own soul. The director possesses also a mar velous power of interpretation, into which enters an element of originali ty. The second number on the pro gramme, Rondo Capriccioso, is one of Mendelssohn’s exquisite jewels. In that beautiful number from Rubin stein. Melody from a Catholic Church Services, 1 was lost in the grandeur of one of those magnificent cathedrals of the Old World, as I listened to the intonation of the service and the sil very chiming of the bells. The waltz numbers from Liszt re vealed to me the dancers themselves, so plainly visible were the motion and color. On the rich brocade of that music the many delicate lights and shades of color could be seen. In the rendition of the Melody for the left hand, the artist of the evening displayed the highest artistic finish of technique.” Our Voting Contest.
