Celebration Expected To Be Big'
gest College Event in
Hundred Years

Mr. Cecil Lesson, saxophone recitalist , will appear on the Bloomsburg camp us next' Friday morning
to present a program during the auditorium period. Mr. Lesson, accompanied by Mr. Joseph Wagner, pianist,
are touring the country, and last
w e e k appea red at Indiana State
Teachers College as part of the evening artists course. Reports from the
Indiana Penn , school paper of that
college, indicate that Mr. Leeson was
received with great acclaim.
Mr. Lesson displays the capacity of
the saxophone for really beautiful
solo work. The Indiana Penn has
this to say : "There was a grave
sweetness of tone , a sonority in the
lower register, and a purity in the
upper range suggestive now of tho
English horn, now of the clarinet, now
of the French horn."
With numbers chosen from various
fields of musical literature, including
some of his own arrangements, Mr.
Leeson exhibits a technic of refinement, a delicacy of detail, a beauty
of phrasing and of color that makes
his program most enj oyable.

Miss Donnabelle Smith, a Senior

Tolerance
May 1 was Americanism Day. How
many of us gave it any thought ? In
our perpetual damning of the authorities both civil and otherwise, howmany of us stopped to realize the
privileges we have in this country?
If we don 't like something one of our
teachers does, we shout to high heaver that we're being abused, that the
teacher is unfair and that from col]ge students yet. In any other country we wouldn 't be allowed to express our opinions even to our own
friends. We 'd take it and like it.
We've got the greatest country on
the face of the globe. We have the
best people, the most beautif ul countryside, the most industries, all the
f undamental liberties which are a
freshman's due, and advantages the
like of which are not to be found
elsewhere. Let's think of them and
be thankf ul , not abuse them by indiscriminate criticism of anything
tha t comes along. It is the mark of
an educated man to realize that nobody is perfect , and to be broadminded about the faults of others. Tolerance is the basis on which this country was founded. Let's not forget it.

i' Welcome Alumni
Note: For the remaining issues of the
Maroon and Gold , the editorials will

THE FORUM
SPEAKS
Is Hitler ju stified in all his demands ? In taking what rightfully
belongs to one there is no wrong.
Therein Hitler bases his whole theory
of justification. Ruthlessly he has
entered countries belonging to Germany, and deprived them of the freedom which was theirs for so short a
time. In doing this he took from
them their sense of independence, and
more important, caused them untold
misery and suffering. Now we might
ask: Is he justified in so doing if
his aggression causes others to suffer? A man may take and take and
take as long as in his taking he does
not rob or hurt anyone else. Hitler
has caused suffering. He has robbed
others. We as onlookers q uestion

The biology department of the college has increased its efficiency with
the addition of new equipment. The
laboratory has been furnished with
40 desks supplied with individual electrical outlets, in turn permitting the
use of 40 new microscope lamps. Dr.
Kuster feels that 40 students well
accommodated are enough for one
laboratory section. With these lamps
it is no longer necessary to depend
on sunlight of swaying lights from
high in the ceiling.
The purchase of new aquaria and
collecting nets ensures plenty of fresh
material for study. In addition, there
are new biological charts, an electric
oven , and a very lifelike model of a
human torso.
