SCHILLER’S DAY
LINDE TO BE DEDICATED THIS MORNING AT 11 O’CLOCK
Extensive Program in German Poet’s Honor to Be Given Tonight in Memorial Hall.
In may be asserted with reasonable certainty that no German poet has been honored as enthusiastically by Anglo-Americans as is Schiller in the large number of celebrations marking the centennial of his death. Extensive preparations are being made in the University to produce a celebration which may be worthy of the high estimation in which the poet is held by this community, and the kind co-operation of local musicians is sufficient assurance of abundant success.
At 11:00 a. m. the “Schiller-Linde†will be dedicated. A brief and some-what informal program has been arranged for occasion, since the principal celebration is reserved for the evening. Not only the students of the University but citizens generally are cordially invited to take part in honoring Germany’s most popular poet on this occasion.
The program for the dedication of the “Schiller-linde†which will occur on the campus at 11 o’clock this morning is as follows:
“Deutschland, Deutschland uber Alles,†Universitats Liederkranz.
Ansprache: Widmung der “Schiller-Linde,†Professor P.H. Grummann.
“Am Brunnen vor dem Thor,†Universitats Liederkranz.
Festgedict verfaszt von, Anna Krumbach.
“Der Mai ist gekommen,†Unversitats Liederkranz.
At 8:15 this evening the following program will be given in Memorial Hall:
1. Overture zu Schiller’s “Tell,†Rossini; Orchester.
2. Schiller, a Force in Modern Culture, Professor Laurence Fossler.
3. Schiller’s “Glocke†(Auswahl), Romberg. Sopran, Mrs. H. Finley Heims; Alt., Miss 4. Julia McCune; Tenor, Mr. Joseph Wurzburg; bass, Professor Clemens Movius.
