genial company and a spirit ot gaiety.
The floor was crowded until tbe last
strains ot Home, Sweet Home were
heard. The decorations were un-
usual. Ingenious lighting effects and
clever arrangement of well painted
drops gave a unique setting.
After twelve a typical Southern
fried chicken course was served in
the dining room; the negro waiters
fit In well with the general scheme.
The programs were clever backed
little books in blue and white. Old'
fashioned nosegays were presented
the girls, but upon closer inspection,
they found them to be sewing sets
with needles, thread, snaps, etc., in
the heart of each flower.

agreed that, since the public la in-
vited to see Eloe at work, it is only
fair not to use material! belonging
to local firms and which do not form
part of the students' every-day equip-
ment.
Guards and managers will wear
badges while on duty; traffic guides
will wear white. The public will fol-
low a route beginning at the Mechan-
ical Lab. It is hoped that some meth-
od more efficient than that used last
year will be devised to take the
count of tbe number attending. There
will be provisions made for adminis-
tering first aid in case a too inquisi-
tive visitor handles the wrong thing.
Further information concerning the
show will be given in accordance
with the scheme of publicity.
The managers of the show are: L.

known psychologists as Wundt and

This/eolleto Ion is a very valuable
acquisutiou for Rice; il would take
years to gather another of equal
value.
Professor Titchener was an Eng-
lishman. He received his undergrad-
uate education at Oxford, majoring in
biology. He was advised by Burdon
Sanderson to specialize in neither
anthropology or psychology. He chose
the latter and wont to Leipsig, to
study under Wilheim Wundt. in the
first laboratory of experimental psy-
chology. There he received his Ph.

Cornell and made professor of psy-
chology. Professor Titchener died at

Antliiome and later with De Berlot:
harmony with Pessard, counterpoint
and fnge with Gedalge, and composi-
tion with Faure. Throughout his con-
servatory course, ltavel composed
steadily. During this period, he com-
posed "Habaners" and "Les Sites
Auriculaires" for two pianos, "Men-
uel Antique," "Sainte," "Epigrammes
de Clement Maroti" "Ravane pour
une Infante Definite," and the over
ture, "Scheherazade."
Some of his later compositions of
note are: The ballet opera, "L'Enfant
et les Sortileges;" the ballets, "Daph-
nis et Chole" and "Adelaide on le
Language le Fleurs," and "Nouel des
Jouets" and "Rapsoidie Espagnole"
for the orchestra.
Without depreciating in the least
Ravel's originality, one can feel the
influence on his style of four com
posers with whom he was associated
during his formative years; Gabriel
Faure, from whom he derived his
clarity and precision, Emanuel Cha-
hrier, his genial romanticism; Erik
Satie, his ironic humor, and Claude
Debussy, his impressionism.
Ravel has lived a comparatively se-
cluded life at Moutefort'jl-Asury, a
picturesque French town, which was
chosen as a retreat from the social
obligations which would continually
assail him were he to live in Paris.
Deeply absorbed in the probelms of
creative work and little concerned
with self-exploitation, Ravel has ap-
peared rarely as pianist and conduc
tor in recent years, so his visit to
America will be of singular signifi'
canee to himself as well as of espe-
cial importance to his admirers in
j this country.
The totality of his artistic product
; would appear to indicate that Ravel
writes with facility and spontaneity.
But as a matter of fact, he composes
j slowly with the extreme care of those
I who are consciously self-critical. He
■ is not physically robust, and he was
not. able to endure the strain of mili-
j lary service during the war. Having

-1910-
Social Houston gathered during the evening of February 21, 1910,
to be present at the most brilliant opening of a playhouse ever to
be held hare when the doors of the new Majestic Theatre (now
Palace) were opened to the amusement seekers for the first time.
Many of the elite, most of the leaders of IS years ago, were there,
and those who since have become favored with the success of the
passing seasons were among the first-nighters.
Reading from the files of THE HOUSTON POST of Feb-
ruary 22, 1910, the review says in part:
"The auspicious opening of the new Majestic Theatre
last night was an occasion for general rejoicing among
Houston amusement lovers. The assembled audience
was delighted at the scene of bewildering beauty and
brilliancy, for such it was ... It is now for the
people of Houston and all who visit the city to enjoy it." *
Dedicated to "Mirth, Music and Good Morals," this show house, num-
bered among the country's finest almost a score of years ago, still
stands with the heritage of wholesome amusement of its younger
days, dignified now by the Drama of the times. Many an unknown
star, on the upward path to the glory of Broadway and the dazzle
of white lights, has trod the board of the Palace. Others, with
their days numbered on the Big Time, have passed through for a
week on their way to obscurity.
But the theatre is still a temple of vicarious amusement, offering to
playgoers of Houston the mhost wholesome devirttisement American
or foreign playwrights have, given to the happiness of the world.

Dear Aunt Heppie:
In the bull pen last night the fol-
lowing remarks were made about
girls. I took them down verbatim in
my note book, thinking perhaps thay
would help you in giving advice. Hero
they are:
"Girls are crazy."—Puss Murray.
"You can't get along with them and
you can't get along without them, and
I prefer blue-eyed semi-brunettes."—-
Brother Bourland.
"I scorn them all."—Spud Braden.
"Me too," from Joe Knipple.
"They are little angels from hea-
ven."—Danny Allnocli.
"Blondes floor me, and I can't re-
fuse brunettes."—Fisher Reynolds.
"They are perfectly useless."—Jlni-
uiie Cannoll.
"I reserve my bid."—J. C. McNeil.
Now, Auntie, what do you think of
these quotations, taken from random
out of my notebook? I would like
your opinion
Polly Parrott.
Dear Polly:
Why need my opinion? Seems to
me enough has already been said.
Maybe the girls will write in self-de-
fense. Wait till next week.
Aunt Heppie.

The Majestic Theatre is making an
offort to co-operate with Rice and In
doing so has made us two very at-
tractive propositions. At the regis-
trar's office tickets can be secured
that will enable the students to at-
tend the Majestic on Monday and
Tuesday for twenty-five cents. They
have also offered reduced rates to
clubs on our campus and to special
parties of over twenty-five.

A large and appreciative audience
witnessed "You and I," tbe Y. W.
C. A. play last year. Tbls was &
rected by Mrs. C. F. Arrowood, as
was tbe successful play ot the pre-
preceding year, "The White-Headed
Boy."
"Right You Are If You Think You
Are" is a modern comedy by one of
tbe most eminent ot Italy's present
day dramatists. Pirandello, in this
play, presents a tale of small town
gossip with all Its natural bumor and
pathos. This is just to bint that
there is ahead an evening's entertain-
ment that is due to appeal to those
in its audience who are conscious of
the real business of being human.

The striking need of a Main Street
bus line to Riee from town baa been
expressed by a great number of oo-
eds. We Know tbe glaring fault of
tbe uncertain Toonervllle as a means
of transportation. Tbe boys have
cleverly substituted tbeir convenient
system ot pick-ups as the Ideal means
ot transportation. But the girls nat-
urally hesitate to hop rides, and so
they suffer loss of time and inconven-
ience in getting to and from school on
the street car. With all the newly-
established bus lines the Houston
Electric Company is establishing, it
seems that a Main Street bus straight
from town to Rice Institute would be
both accommodating and profitable.

tion has decided that the city would
not give Rice Nite sufficient support.
The executive committee also de-
cided upon a plan for raising money
for the Alumni Building which is to
be built by the first twenty-five
classes of Rice. It will be a classroom
building erected on the other side of
the court and corresponding to the
Physics Building.
The committee is asking the gradu-
ates and ex-students to make pledges
toward the new building. Such
pledges as $10, $25, $50 a year would
be less than tuition at the average
school. This money will be invested
by the Alumni board under the direc-
tion of the trustees of the Institute
until a sufficient amount is collected
for building.
