Boyd, our chemistry professor, has been given the honor of having his name bestowed on the new auditorium in our new Fine Arts Center, in recognition of his loyal service to Wilmington College.. “Boyd Auditorium” is named for a great gentleman who has served in almost every official capacity on behalf of the college— Dean of Men, Supervisor of Buildings and Grounds, Director of Publicity, Director of Extension, Athletic Director, Vice President, and acting President. With degrees from Wilmington and Ohio State, he took over the chemistry department in 1914, and has served an unbroken tenure of thirty-nine teaching years. Dr. Boyd received a silver ticket that will be his and Mrs. Boyd’s ad- mittance to college-sponsored events for their lifetimes. The new street in front of the Fine Arts Center that joins the street passing the li- brary has been named “Mitchell Drive” in honor of our librarian, Miss Marguerite Mitchell, who has served since 1921. Her formal education was taken at Wilmington College and the University of Illinois Library School. Dr. W. R. Pyle was awarded a plaque in appreciation of all the time and energy he has spent towards obtaining the auditorium- arts center for us and generations to come to enjoy. The services of these three people over their many years at Wilmington College rep- resent their faith and interest in the institu- tion.

CINCINNATI SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA Thor Johnson, conductor of the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra, brought his famed orchestra for a concert in connection with the dedication of the Auditorium- Fine Arts Center. Members of the College and community were very pleased with the concert which included: “Toccato” by Freshcobaldi as transcribed freely by Kans Kindler; “Sym- phony No. 1 in C Minor” by Brahms; “Waltz of the Flowers” from Tschaikovsky’s ballet “The Nutcracker Suite”; “Finlandia” from Sibelius’ “Scenes Historiques”; and Weinberger’s “Polka and Fugue,” from “Schwand, the Bagpiper.” The Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra rendered two encores, “The Syncopated Clock,” being the light note on which the evening of music was concluded.
