The Holy Trinity Church Maen­nerchor, a distinguished male chorus of forty voices, will sing a concert program in the college aUditorium on Sunday afternoon, September 27, at 3 o'clock.

Under the direction of Professor' Ferdinand Lehnert, the group of singers has won an excellent re­putation in musical circles for artistic chora.] work in the concert hall and on the radio. Organized before the World War by the Ger­man Catholic Club of Greater Boston and revived in 1930 through the efforts of Father Geissler, pastor of Holy Trinity Church, the chorus is outstanding for its in­terpretation of German and Eng­lish songs.

Professor Lehnert, fOl'merly a member of grand opera companies in Europe, enjoyed a wide repu­tation there and sang before the nobility throughout the continent. For several years he has been pro­fessor of Voice Culture at Weston College. He gives private lessons in his Copley Square studio.

Officers of the German Catholic Club sponsoring the .Maennechor are Mr. Frank J. Ho·lderried, presi­dent, Mr. Carl A. Schneiderhan, secretary, Mr Joseph Graf, treas­urer, and 1MI'. Bernard Burgholzer, librarian.

Miss Mary O. Vaas, '35, has been na;med chairman of the large com­mittee in charge of arrangements. Tickets have been mailed to all alumnae and additional reserva­tions ,may be made immediately by calling Miss Va as at Cent;e New­ton 2843.

The program to be sung at Em­manuel under the auspices of the Alumnae Association is as follows :

Kyrie and Gloria from Mass in C by J. Schweitzer

Heimathropen by J. Wengert

Home Greetings by C. Kromer

Soldiers' Chorus from Faust by Gounod

"Ii this book contained nothing but the chap­ters comparing the Marxian interpretation of his­tory' wth the ·Catholic, it would be essential for the understanding of the principal modern problems. For it is an historian relying on facts of history and not as a theologian quoting the word of God that Dawson shows the aptness of the one interpre­tation and the ineptness of the other. He is uni.que among Catholic critics of Marx because Marx as a human problem fascinates him .... For our pr~s­ent discontents, the important thing is that the re~:dy is to be sought primarily' in a change 10f Spll'Jt and only subsequently in a change of sooial mechanism."
