Show TTie Mandolin and Guitar Club QAN sat on the green slope of an Arcadian valley, stretching his lazy legs out into the fresh grass and piping his love tale to fair Selene, who cast soft glances of bread moonlight down upon him. This was a nightly occurrence in that strange land, and ordinarily would have passed without notice, but other gods were attracted by the fervent petitions and slyly crept over the brow of the hill to josh the proud Pan at his wooing. Mercury sped away and returned with two reeds. Tubal and Apollo made the thin flluesto the soft notes of Jubal's harp. Erato and Calliope stroked their lyres as they hummed Lydian airs. Sly Bacchus and his satyrs slid through the light shadows and joined the group. Old Pythagoras marched sternly in, rapped for attention on a hollow tree trunk and led the gathering in an Arcadian love song. Pan dropped his pipe and came running up the hillside. His wrath ebbed high, his lung power higher. "You Jackdaws, you Magpies, you Hoopoes, you have spoiled my last chance. See that collection of stars?" and he pointed to a constellation of fifteen bright bodies in the blue dome above. "Those stars are musical wonders. It is enacted and ordained that they will soon alight upon the earth to dispense sweet sounds to the hoi pollci. Get ye hence ere morning dawns." And they did. Their rusty reeds still wither on the green turf of that Arcadian vale. The musical stars descended and lit lightly on the Utah campus. Most of the students, too startled to run, bent their small ears to the joyful melody and were so surprised that they have not yet prepared a welcome. The professor of Rare Arts has classified the wonders as follows: Primus Mandolinus N. M.Judd H. R. Margetts W. L. Sutherland A. W. Crabbe Carlos Bardwell J. W. Anderberg Magister-C. D.
