ENGLISH FOLK DANCERS VISIT HARVARD TODAY

Members of the English Folk Dance Society, who will appear tomorrow night at Symphony Hall, will be entertained in Cambridge this afternoon by members of the Boston Branch of that organization, many of whom are Harvard men.

The Society will visit Harvard this afternoon and after a tour of the Yard and other points of interest around the University, the members will be entertained at tea.

The English group, which is composed largely of Oxford and Cambridge men, is at present on a our of the United States and Canada, persecuting programs of old English folk dances and melodies.

The organization was founded in England in 1911 by Cecil Sharp, a collector of folk songs and music of old folk dances, who started the group just before the dances died out in the country. Since then the interest in the Society has spread to the United States and organizations have been established as branches of the English one in many of the larger American cities. There are such groups in Boston, New York City, Cleveland, and Rochester.

The program of the English Folk Dance Society as announced for tomorrow evening includes the country. Morris, and sword dances, to be presented exactly as they have always been given by the English people.

In connection with the appearance of the Society in Boston, the Treasure Room in Widener is displaying manuscripts of early English music. One composition, a publication of 1593, is called "The Seventh Day--A Cantata", based on "Paradise Lost". Some love songs of 1688 bearing the dedication "to her Grace the Duchess of Queensberry", are also being shown. This exhibit will continue throughout the stay of the English Folk Dance Society in Boston.
