To the Editors of the CRIMSON:

May I use your columns to call the attention of music-lovers among the students to an important lecture to be given this afternoon in the Fogg Lecture Room at 4.30 o'clock by Mr. Surette of Columbia University? The lecture is to be given upon one of the greatest of Beethoven's compositions,--the string quartet in F major, op. 59, No. 1, and is meant to be a preparation for an intelligent hearing of this same wonderful work, which is to be performed by the Kneisel Quartet at the last Chamber Concert next Monday evening. Suggestive comments will be made and the whole quartet is to be played upon the Pianola. It is hoped that many of the students will avail themselves of this novel opportunity. W. R. SPALDING.
