SCIENCE HALL NAMED

With final architectural drawings now being completed, it is hoped the college's largest building will be under construction by Commencement, 1964.

"OTHELLO"

In recognition of the 400th anniversary of William Shakespeare's birth, the Whitworth drama department presented the immortal playwright's most famous tragedy. Six other plays saw Gary Heilsberg, Peggy Cowles and Donn Crail in leading roles.

Warren, 12th president 01 United Pres- byterian-related Whitworth College, died 01 cancer last December 10, at his home on the campus. For twenty-three years Dr. Warren charted the course of Whitworth to a place of prominence among our nation's Christian liberal arts colleges. When he was named to the president's chair of this Spokane college in 1940, he administered a campus of two buildings and less than 200 students. At the time of his death, he guided more than 1700 day and night class students studying on a campus 01 20 buildings and assets valued at more than $6,000,000. I During his presidency Dr. Warren served as president 01 both the Independent Colleges of Washington, Inc., and the Association of Presidents of Colleges 01 Wash- The Close ington. He also served ten years on the Washington State Parks and Recreation Commission. Before he succumbed, Dr. Warren wrote out in long- hand detailed instructions for his own funeral service. He asked that an honor guard of pre-ministerial students be posted at the service and he requested that the hymns "Oh Love That Wilt Not Let Me Go," "When I Survey the Wondrous Cross," and "All Praise My Maker" be sung. The Whitworth choir provided the music. The invocation to the coronation service was offered by Dr. A. Vincent Carr. Dr. Mark L. Koehler presided and pronounced the memorial prayer assisted by Dr. David Dilworth, college chaplain. The memorial sermon was delivered by Dr. Robert B. Munger, Univer- sity Presbyterian Church, Seattle. From 1933-40, Dr. Warren was chairman 01 the department of religion at Seattle Pacific College where he earned his bachelor of arts. In 1941 his alma mater awarded him the honorary doctor of divinity degree. After receiving his bachelor of divinity from Biblical The campus he administered in 1940 Seminary and his master's degree from Drew University, Dr. Warren received honorary doctorates from Whit- worth and Pacific Lutheran University. After a brief Washington pastorate, missionary and education work in Japan called Dr. and Mrs. Warren to the Pacific isles from 1925-32. Dr. Warren served two years in the service during World War I and was named a Life Rotarian only four days bclore his death. Among hundreds paying tribute at double memorial services in Cowles Auditorium, were eight college and university presidents from across the state plus Whit- worth trustees, faculty, students and alumni and Spo- kane civic, church and community leaders. Dr. Donald S. Patterson, president of Eastern Wash- ington State College, said, "As an academic scholar and Christian leader, few men have done more for college students. Whitworth College will always be a reminder of what faith, wisdom, and dedicated labor can achieve." . and that which he left in 1963. ,

Of An Era ,I

Following are excerpts from the memorial sermon for Dr. Frank F. Warren delivered by Dr. Robert Boyd Munger, senior minister of the University Presbyte- rian Church, Seattle.

What formulation of thought can express all that we hold in our hearts? Yet deep, upwelling gratitude to God for him gladly opens our lips. At inauguration 1940 .. and his desk 1963. A familiar text of Scripture has been running through my mind: "For me to live is Christ, and to die is gain." (Phil. 1:21) Or as Phillips renders it: "Living to me simply means Christ." A foreign correspondent, en- deavoring to capture the essence of Charles DeGauIle's remarkable influence, explained it, "His greatness lies in his simplicity. He is a devoted man, possessed by one supreme passion-the glory of France." For him, it seems, life is France! Frank Warren, like Charles De Gaulle, or more appropriately the Apostle Paul, was great in his simplicity. He was a devoted man-s-life to him was Christ. All his remarkable gifts, his untiring energies, his magnificent enthusiasms, were caught up and directed to the glory of his Lord.

The Whitworth drama department recently presented "Othello" in celebration of the 400th anniversary of Shakespeare's birth. The play also marked the sixth I consecutive year that the college has produced plays by the English dramatist. The tradition began when the I department performed "The Merchant of Venice," the first Shakespearean play given in Cowles Memorial Au- ditorium after its dedication in 1956.

"Othello" was directed by professor Loyd B. Waltz, head of the speech and drama depart men t for the past 20 years. Waltz came to Whitworth from Monroe, Wash., where he was principal of the high schoo!. When he arrived, there were 30 students enrolled for speech and drama classes-today there are 250. It was Waltz who converted the lower dining hall into the "Little Theatre" for such plays as "Our Town" by Thornton Wilder and Shakespeare's "Midsummer Night's Dream."

Most of Waltz's students have continued their drama interest in the educational, church and community service areas but several have gone into professional theater.

Miss Margaret Cowles, a grad of 1959, studied drama at Stanford, Northwestern and Yale Universities. She is presently attending the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art. In 1963 Miss Cowles acted with the Williamstown and Mt. Holyoke Summer Theater groups in Massachusetts. In the March 5-7 "Othello" production, suspicion is aroused in Othello's mind as Iago whispers that Cassie is making love to his wife, Desdemona. From left, are: Bruce Reid, Spokane, as Iago; A 1958 drama graduate, Gary Hcilsberg, recently Edker Matthews, Santa Barbara, as Othello; Linda Rurey, Spo- toured 46 states with the "American Repertory The- kane, as the misunderstood Desdemona; and Bruce Grady, St. Helens, Ore., as Cassia. atre," the Bishop's Company. He made 256 performances and played 54 different roles in seven shows. Heilsberg entered the University of Washington for graduate work and culminated his study by directing and producing "Tea and Sympathy," by Robert An- derson. The play had a three-day run in Seattle's Penthouse Theater. He was named the 1962-63 winner of the Actor of the Year Award from the university drama school.

Another professional actor is Donn Crail who gradu- ated in 1956. As a part of his Whitworth drama work, Crail wrote and directed the play "No Man's Land," which the drama department performed. He has done 'I graduate study in religious drama and is presently a member of the Bishop's Players touring the east coast. I

Whitworth's productions have been consistently ou t- standing in costuming. At present the drama department has a Shakespearean costume wardrobe valued at Gary Heilsberg as Shylock in "The Merchant of Venice." more than $3500.
