It was the year 1207. The scene: a medieval castle in the rugged terrain of the Thuringian countryside of Germany. The courtyards of the castle are filled with musicians, actors, artists of all sort, for this is the Wartburg Castle, and it is the time of the famous Saen- gerkrieg or minstrel contest. The arts fill the air. The year was 1956. The scene: the Wart- burg again. Only this time it was Wartburg College. No Saengerkrieg this time, but rather a music and art festival marking the dedica- tion of the new Fine Arts Center at Wartburg. This was only one facet of the activity of the Fine Arts Division this year. Drama filled the stage of the Little Theater, accompanied us. ; McPhail. Mus.
