07e tde%4,— 07 etn 74 aid 7a cua Bulging seams characterized the Law School building after fall registration was completed. An unprecedented influx of bar-risters-to-be (sixty percent of whom were veterans) raised enrollment figures to twice those of other years. It also forced Dean Russell A. Rasco to look about for additional space for new students expected in the spring. The Dean himself was an addition to the school, having returned on July 4 from two and one-half years’ leave of absence while serving on the War Manpower Commission. Dr. Rasco was State Director of the Commission for eighteen months, and confides that the position was infinitely more difficult than that of teaching law. Two new faculty members were enlisted as part of the all-around expansion program. Dr. Floyd A. Wright has come to the University after teaching for six years at the University of Oklahoma. The second newcomer is a specialist in taxation, Albert Bernstein. Termed the most outstanding authority on that subject in the state of Florida, Mr. Bernstein has lectured throughout the state at the request of the Florida State Bar Association. Other instructors at the school are Robert A. McKenna, William J. Hester, and Judge L. Ear! Curry. Caring for the constantly increasing volume of volumes in the Law library is the duty of Miss Nita Stone. She assumed the position upon Mrs. Dorothy Mitchell’s resignation, and now balances her time between working and studying for her degree. The library, which numbers 25,000 books, is the second largest in Florida, exceeded only by that of the Supreme Court in Tallahassee. Law graduates from the University of Miami are not required to take the bar examination in order to practice in the state. The school is approved by the American Bar Association and the Board of Regents for the state of New York. At present, the requirement for registration is sixty college credits, but the near future will sec realization of prewar standards—three years of pre-law as a requisite for entrance. Those freshmen who did arrive at the beginning of the second semester were pleasantly surprised to find that they were offered a complete range of first-year subjects from which to choose. During the war it was necessary to limit the selection each term to those courses required by the majority of students. FACULTY PARADE.

'H ax a afe tyroufr Scaled 'Plecv r9ttt 'itya wtotuf, From left to right: Clarke, Tarplcy, Alloo, Cohen, Roth, Asher, Harris, Bergh, Bobrick, di Fclippi. Do rh mi’s at the University of Miami Music School sound out a new tune this year after the first written constitution and student government introduced a new down beat at the workshop. The constitution makes provision for a president, vice-president, secretary, treasurer, and music librarian. Gerry Rassmussen, Kornelia Taggart, Marvin Rickard, Doris Feldman, and Patrick Sullivan comprised the committee which wrote the constitution and presented it to the students for ratification. Another new feature introduced at the Music Workshop this year was the series of Monday evening concerts presented by Henry Gregor, noted pianist and composer. Mr. Gregor gave as his first recital an all-Scar-lotti program. He was ably assisted by Celeste-Moon, well-known Miami soprano. Equally outstanding on the series was the excellent dual piano work of Joseph Tarpley and Henry Gregor. The two pianists presented the music of Brahms, Debussy, Beethoven and McDowell. Tuesday afternoons saw the alternation of student meetings and recitals in the Granada Workshop. At several student assemblies, Harold Bauer spoke on subjects of interest to all future musicians. His talks ranged from ‘Physics in Relation to Music’’ to “Dance From the Tom-Tom to the Modem Times.” Since the retirement of Miss Bertha Foster as dean of the School of Music, Joseph Tarpley, a graduate of the University and pianist on the staff, has taken over the duties of secretary and the handling of administrative-affairs. Miss Foster, who is now Dean Emeritus on the faculty, is dividing her time between her position as organist and choir director for All Soul’s Church and the founding of a National Home for Aged Musicians in Miami. The only member of the faculty of the Music School who has not yet returned from the war is John Bitter, conductor of the orchestra. Captain Bitter recently had the distinction of being the first American ever to conduct the Berlin Symphony Orchestra. The following are members of the staff at this time: Dr. Modcste Alloo, acting conductor of the symphony orchestra and former member of the Boston symphony; Mrs. Hannah Spiro Asher, pupil of Leopold Go-dowsky and formerly on the staff at the conservatory of Breslau, Germany; Dr. Joel Belov, concertmaster of the University symphony orchestra, former teacher at Curtis and Eastman, and first violinist with the Philadelphia orchestra; Robert Boberick, violinist with a master’s degree from Northwestern and assistant concertmaster of the orchestra; Mrs. Frances Hovey Bergh, teacher of voice and music appreciation; Edward Clarke, well-known lecturer on music and literature; Mine. Lina Coen, operatic coach and graduate of the Paris conservatory; Dr. Arturo di Fillippi, director of the Miami Opera Guild; and Franklin Harris, Ralph Roth, and Henry Gregor, pianists and composers.
