This year, under the new directorship of Profes- sor Robert Beckwith, the Brass Ensemble has per- formed at chapel services, student recitals, at Pownal State Hospital, and in a spring concert with the Bow- doin Music Club. The Ensemble offered, this past season, works of the composers Bach, Reiche, Monte- verdi, and Pezel. Under the leadership of its new di- cctor, this year’s Brass Ensemble has been outstanding though it is still a young organization. J! CapJL oir The A Capella Choir, under the direction of Professor Robert Beckwith, has once more undertaken the task of preparing fifty works for the weekly Sun- day Chapels. The Choir consists of approximately thirty-five men picked from the Glee Club who are interested in the dramatic choral literature of the church. Besides having sung in Chapel each Sunday, the Choir also performed on James Bowdoin Day and at graduation. In addition it joined the Bowdoin Music Club to present a concert last February. An effort has been made to add to the repertoire of the Choir by presenting music in fields other than that in the stan- dard repertoire of a choir. The work has been diffi- cult, but the results have been highly gratifying. First Row, left to right: G. Smart, R. Estes, II. Mahler, C. Kendall, H. Eubank, R. Mathews. Second Row, left to right: C.

(J3owcloin flan Each year, most fraternities choose a foreign stu- dent with whom they wish to share their Bowdoin Life.” The college grants complete tuition scholar- ships to these foreign students and the fraternities of- fer them free room and board. This is the Bowdoin Plan and it has recently come to the end of its eighth successful year. The Bowdoin Plan has become a permanent part of Bowdoin Life and it has been adopted by a great number of colleges all over the United States. The Plan has won Bowdoin and America many true friends by giving young men form abroad the oppor- tunity of studying in this country and simultaneously familiarizing them with American life. Political 3t orum The Political Forum has been more active during its past two complete semesters than it has been for several years. Under the leadership of William A. Fickett, ’54, the Forum has presented interesting speakers dealing with a wide variety of subjects. In the spring semester of 1953 Dr. Carl Anthon, formerly a member of the United States High Com- mission in Germany, described the effects of Soviet rule in the Russian Zone of Germany. Dr. Leland M. Goodrich, Professor of International Relations at Co- lumbia University, discussed The U.N. and the Cold War”. Assistant Professor of Economics at Bowdoin, James A. Storer, concluded the Forum’s spring pro- gram with a lecture, supplemented by slides, on eco- nomic conditions in the Philippines. Last fall the Political Forum presented President Emeritus Kenneth C. M. Sills as its opening speaker. President Sills gave his impressions of the situation in India based on his trip of the previous year. A discussion group including all the foreign students dealt with the problem of nationalism in Asia. The final speaker of the fall semester was Mrs. Murial Rolls, formerly a member of the British Consulate. She spoke about the British Commonwealth. The Forum showed two films in connection with her lecture. President: William A. Fickett, '54 Vice-President: Richard Dale, '54 Secretary: John B. Goodrich, '55 Treasurer: David B.
