l !u Little Symphony, consisting of
14 solo artists under the leadership of
George Barrere, a noted flute player,
will appear in university auditorium
8 p in., April 4 under the auspices of
the m'IiooI of line arts, Dean I" retlrik
Holmberg announced Tuesday.
It is an orchestra in miniature, and
it members, according to Dean Holm-
berg were banded together for the
purpose of playing compositions of old
masters written for just such small
orchestras, but which in modern times
were performed, previous to the organ-
ization of the Little Symphony, only
b\ great orchestras. Because of the
great volume of sound and rich tonal
complicities tbe\ were incapable of
doing justice to the delicate grace of
the old masterpieces.
Mr. Barrere has accomplished not
lily work of much educational value
in founding the Little Symphony, but
also by making known many beautiful
ultl masterpieces which otherwise re-
main neglected, Mrs. Barry said.
Concerts of the Little Symphony are
admitted to be "smart" events in New
York.

Re/. Griffith, Designer and Chaplain
Of King Hall, Dies at Home of
Brother.
Rev V C. Griffith, for 10 years
rev if of S(. John's church of Norman
* and chaplain of King Hall, died at
the home of his brother in New N ork
Friday, March 11. at 5 p. m„ according
to word received here Monday.
, Rev. Mr. Griffith came to Norman in
\ugust. 1()10, and left in September,
1« 20, to take a rest in New York.
While in Norman be designed King
Hall. The original property was pur-
chased by Bishop Brook in 1911, and
the addition was designed by kcv.
Griffith in 1914.
Prior to his entrance into the ministry
# he was the advising architest for New
York City. He was a graduate of the
\ev.' York Polytechnical college and
Columbia university and a fellow of the
\merican Institute _ of Architecture.
It was the expectation of Bishop Tlieo-
dor. Payne Thurston that he would re-
turn to Oklahoma City and assume the
office of Ecclesiastical Architect and
assistant rector of the Cathedral.
Flonzaley quartet, one of the most
unusual organizations of its kind in this
country, will appear in the university
auditorium March 29, 8:15 p. m., ac-
cording to Fredrik Holmberg, dean of
the school of tine arts, Tuesday.
Each member of the quartet is a
artist antl willing to devote himself
exclusively to quartet work, foregoing
the pleasure of sell-glorification and
greater financial reward as a solo lire-
former. Dean Holmberg said. The
personality of each of the four artists
has much to do with their success, he
added.
Members of the quartet have worked
together for 16 years ith the exception
of the viola player, Louis Bailly. who
joined the quartet during the war in
the place of Ugo Ara, who left it to
join the Italian army.
These men belong to the Belgian
and French school of music and two of
them were pupils of Cesar Thomson.
The violinist is a first prize graduate
of the Paris conservatory. The quartet
is now entering upon its seventeenth
season and is recognized as one of the
foremost string quartets in the world,
the dean said.
Student tickets are good.
University debates will be handled
this season by four teams that will

\rl.ansas, Texas, and Oklahoma while
the other includes the other school
mentioned, Kansas and Colorado
The first triangle debates the ques-

Someone Might II nte
This Student a Hook
On Silent Forensics
A public speaking enthusiast appear-
ed at the loan desk in the library and
checked out several books which, as he
expressed it contained "speeches.'
Twas not long however until he re-
turned wearing a discouraged expres-
sion. "It's a shame that a person can
never find just what he wants," he said
as he threw down the books.
"But tell me—just what did you
want ?" queried the student assistant at
the desk.
"Well, I wanted to 'speak' something
different so I have been looking for a
pantomine," he boasted as he turned
away.
"Ask Webster the meaning of 'pan-
tomine' and then I'll find you one," the
assistant whispered.
Strange to say the pantomine has not
I been checked out yet.
