LYCEUM COURSE N ACCORDANCE with Upsala tradition, the WYonien's Auxiliary of I, the college presented a series of entertaining and instructive pro- grams. NVorld famous figures were brought to Upsala audiences this year as in the past. All of the programs were held in the auditorium of East Orange High School. I Famed for his literary insight, Dr. VVilliam Lyons Phelps of Yale, lectured in the lirst program. Dr. Phelps immediately made friends with his audience by starting out with a few introductory words on Sweden. He continued-reviewing current plays and books. Among the plays discussed were Idiot's Delight' HYictoria Reginaf' and Dead Endv. The books included Gone With the XYind by Mitchell, VVest's joan of Arc and Noyes' Yoltaire . Dr. Phelps lecture was notable for its humor and intimate audi- ence contact. The second Lyceum program was one of an unusual appeal. The well- known artists, Florence Austral, dramatic soprano, and John Amadio, iiautist. were present. Among the numbers sung hy Miss Austral were Drink to Me Only Wiith Thine Eyes and The Sleigh . Mr. Amadio's repertoire included 'CLondon- derry Air', and The Flight of the Bumblebee . The audience showed it en- thusiastic appreciation at the artistry of Miss Austral and Mr. Amadio by repeat- edly demanding encores. It was a mystified audience that witnessed the third course. Mr. John Mulholland lectured on and demonstrated magic. He bewildered the audience with his sleight of hand tricks. Incidentally not the least bewildered were Mr. K. J. Olson and Dr. XV. VV. Gustafson. lt is to be hoped that the Lyceum Course will continue as successful as it has been in the past for many years to come.
