Some "Mushy" Songs Among the Favorites The aftermath of the "Ten Favorite A me i lean Sonss" symposium in the spe-cial spe-cial fan issue of Musical America will be considerable, and slow in (the gleaning; There is no doubt whatever that the list or all the songs chosen contains some of the best American song, some songs entitled en-titled to the designation of "masterpiece,"' and a number of evidences or finely discriminating dis-criminating taste. , r.K the thing that chiefly strikes the meditative mind, in hastily glancing over the results, Is the surprising and disconcerting discon-certing number of songs which are sentimental, senti-mental, even "mushy," saccharine, or merely pleasant or prettv, and which, through this fact, fall below the true modern mod-ern standard of the Lied. Knowing that the singers appealed to are tamihar with the songs of .Schubert, , Schumann, Kranz. Brahms, Grieg, and 'others of this rank, and knowing that 'among American songs are many to be tound which, in quality of beauty and imagination, belong to this superior sphere, it is a little astonishing to find in t he symposium a selection of so many merely pleasant songs without high imaginative distinction, which must in a -eaon or so go the way of all art works t.ha are not masterpieces. There are several possible explanations. One is that American singers have not ei arrived at a sufficiently high standard of taste. Another is that thev do not know what American songs exist. Still (another, and a serious and important rnat-icr. rnat-icr. is that composers of the highest quality qual-ity of imagination and ideals are too often content to leave their work in the form in which it first comes to them, and to ( la 11. hy not trying out t heir work with lingers. tu cast their songs In a thoroughly thorough-ly practicable form. The near-masterpiece is not a masterpiece. One is struck be this verv rpialitv of ija-ll -ability in the song chosen by the s'mreri, of the symposium. They are all l-raefic;;i songs, even if manv do not rise high on the wings of imagination or taste The singer must at all times deal with a practicable product. tt would now be a most engaging and illumhi;,''ing procedure to learn the choice of A mericau composers as to their "ten iavorile American songs," their own, of course, Ixi rred .

The annual Musical society "jinks" will be held shortly after Thanksgiving day. It is the one masquerade balj of the school season, and much energy will be expended this year to make it a more brilliant affair than any of the former college functions of the Kind.' Four Musical society matinee dances will be held during the school season, one of which is already past. The other three will probably be "heid during the junior prom week, which will come next February. Febru-ary. The permanent officers of the Musical society, together with tnose elected to aid in maJtinj the various functions successful, success-ful, follow: President. Spencer Wright ; vice president.

Professor Thomas Giles, head of the musirai department of the university, is enthusiastic over the prospects of an unusually un-usually successful dramatic production this year. It was originally planned to have 1-5 people take part in the production, produc-tion, but the interest has been so strong among the students that th number has been Increased to 160. Professor Alfred Best baji signified a desire to take part in the opera with his entire chorus of fifty voices, and this will doubtless be done.. The male chorus now contains about fifty voices, almost twice as many as the chorus of lasf year, and the women's chorus is fully as large. Two artistic dances will add to the size of the production, produc-tion, there being approximately twenty-five twenty-five young women of the university in each.
