PROFESSOR JONES GOES FROM OPERA TO FOLK SONGS IN CLASS

Howard Mumford Jones, professor of English, is lifting his baritone voice in song fairly often these days. As critical judgement and undergraduate amazement at his recent performance of an operatic aria, the "Miserere" from a well-known opera, is dying down, word comes that he has turned to more popular musical fare to entertain his classes.

Yesterday afternoon at 2 o'clock, English 70, which usually meets in Sever 11, found itself excluded and forlornly wandering around the Yard in search of a classroom. William K. Chandler, Instructor of English, was pursued by the importunate almost to Winthrop House when he refused to meet his dispossessed class.

Meanwhile, within Sever 11 pianos were thumping, victrolas playing, and youthful voices lifted to the strains of "Home On The Range," "She'll be Comin' Round The Mountain," and others, as the class in American Literature studied the folksong. Jones led the singing and gave a solo.
