Show Esther Landa 3.16 p.20 ehes~s was an insp(tkng woman. L Who was she. EL Au(2,cJ...I .AHenry Reinhardt. L EL How did she inspire you. ~ Well, at that time, we still had the chapel so no matter fodZ.. where we were CR the weekend, we had to beback in our chapel seats at 7:30. She was a Ubitarian. So it was a sort of a non-denomination of kind of chapel service. But in 1929, it was still compulsory. You had to be in your chapel seat andeeeeHt: accounted for by 7:30 on LEttY(; NS Sunday night or else. We had some very good chaplains. Rober t Levens. Who I think was also a Unitarian chaplain and we had Dr. (t--wr li1.ner was a chaplain? Oh, what a minute, there was that famous philosopher, I'm not sure he was the caaplain. Maybe he was. Howard Grit ten. They were ~a/\kers. HOward and Anna Cox f3 tf?.. 1 N1DIY He was quite a famous scholar. We had outstanding people. One of the best things about Mills college was it had a very strong music program. And no, I w~'t, I toldyou , a musician in any sense.We had concerts and they?sual~ had {{__famous string quartet in residence during the winter and teaching summer session. And that's how I got hooked on chamber music. We had the Pro /tl<-1 £ quartet from Belgium. And we had the ""}Tfl-A[J I v'A-~tt)5 t3o OA-(JF;5-t stratevarias and we ended up with the buddaphest and I became very good friends with the Budapest because by that time I was working and doing publicity. So that was one of the outstanding things. Every Wed. night and every Sunday afternoon, there would be a string quartet concert A /}-~ in the music bldg. The Pro t~ f was before them [the budap.], the strat. the polish, just every string quartet. L Did your tom boy background get i ~our way. EL No. Not for that. I learned to like music. Not opera. But. |
