and ed gar schofield bass-baritone miss callow has aroused much favorable comment in new york musical circles dur ing the past two years mr schofield has a reputation abroad as well as in america as a singer of extraordinary range and power miss callow began her harp studies in the west a visit of a few years to england culmin ated in her return to america to enter vassar college as a solo ist for the college musical clubs she appeared in many eastern cities and after graduation con tinued her musical education in new york and in paris under mile henrietta renie the great est living harpist since her re turn to america miss callow has given lessons on the harp passing on to her young pupils the methods of this great teach er miss callow has tourned thru new york state and new eng land and has played frequently in new york city she has al ways been enthusiastically re ceived as a most charming expo nent of the fascinating and somewhat uncommon art of harp-playing mr schofield is noted for the power to hold his audience and a command of diction in which the words of an english song are discernible as english since his student days mr schofield has held a foremost position among his associates his first success was the winning of the eben d jordan scholarship at con on page 4 col 2 the latest methods in immu nization in the realm of preven tive diseases has been tested and employed by lehigh uni versity's health service under the personal direction of dr r c bull the tests were all suc cessful and adds that much more credit to the discoverers of the dick test vaccine it was found that all but three men were immune from the dis ease they were at once given an immunizing vaccine for scar let fever these men are now being given a second test to determine the immunity of the the dick test was devel oped by the drs dick of chica go and through the courtesy of dr zinger of the department of health of new york city it was administered here at lehigh the material for the test was obtained through the kindness of the research laboratory of the mulford co of philadel phia it was obtained on the request of professor thomas of the bio logy department who was con nected with the mulford com pany for a number of years it is a source of pride to any lehigh student to know that the health service is keeping abreast of all the recent develop ments in medical science at a recent meeting of the fa culty a rule was adopted which divides each term for the future into two report periods instead of three as formerly this means that the heads of the de partments will send in grades to the dean's office every eight weeks instead df every six weeks it also means that only two period grades per term will be entered in the records this ruling will not interfere in any way with the departmen tal periods which have varied from two to six weeks hereto fore that question is left en tirely in the hands of the de partment heads one reason for this new rul ing is that the faculty found the first six weeks of any term an insufficient time to judge the true value of a man's work the new system will largely elimin ate this it will also be more fair to the student by extend ing the period one third of it's original length another reason for the eight week period is the belief of the faculty that six-week reports are rushing or checking too much for the college men such periods are desirable in prep schools where frequent reports are necessary but they hardly apply to colleges that eight week periods are for the benefit of the students may readily be seen and this highly commendable action of the faculty should be favored by everyone the lehigh university dra matic club is working diligent ly on its production for this year the organization will of fer dulcy a comedy in three acts written by george s kaufman and marc connelly the first production of the play was by george c tyler and h h frazee at the cort theatre chicago

good run at lehigh the production is under the direction of mrs rob ert h chance president of the club she herself is an accom plished actress and makes an excellent coach in the play mrs chance takes
