Salient. An Organ of Student Opinion at Victoria College, Wellington, N.Z. Vol. 2, No. 1 March 8, 1939

Music

Music

Amongst those newly arrived at the University there must be many who have "a reasonable good ear" in music and would want to keep it. For them the $2,500 Carnegie Gramophone and its 1.000 records will be an undeniable attraction. In its files they will find sonatas, fugues, symphonies, sillies—a selection, protean and catholic, from Palestrina to Stravinsky,

Later in the year, when the Biology Block is completed, a special music room is to be set up.

Till then we must make the most of the inconvenience of lecture room recitals. To this end a meeting of all those "sentimentally disposed to harmony" will be held on Thursday. March 9th. at 8 p.m. in Room A.2.

Please make this a matter of personal concern. Unless an enthusiastic and energetic roster of students is gathered the gramophone and the opportunities it offers will never be realized to their fullest extent.
