ROBERT FRANZ was born at Halle within a week or two of the Battle of Waterloo, and died in 1892. He is considered one of the most important composers of German lieder, and though his songs are sung today with Jess and less frequency, the listener will be able to trace in these often beautiful songs the germ of the more highly developed modern lieder.
Franz wrote over two hundred and fifty songs, of which only the earlier ones are to be given in the present Foundations. As a matter of fact, these are perhaps more acceptable to listeners than the later ones ; this on the authority of Mendelssohn who, as did Schumann, praised the early songs of Franz very warmly, but was not so appreciative of the later ones, which he complained lacked melody. One wonders what Mendelssohn would have said about Hugo Wolf 's songs ; would he have found that they, too, lacked melody ? The charm of these songs lies not only in their unaffected simplicity and naive emotional content, but in the ingenious and imaginative workmanship.

Professor P. M. S. BLACKETT , F.R.S.
THE SPEAKER tonight who is to give his individual conception of what our national future ought to be is that rare combination-a scientist and a sailor. Professor Blackett was educated at the Royal Naval Colleges at Osborne and Dartmouth, and saw war service with the Royal Navy from 1914 to 1919, being promoted to the rank of lieutenant in 1918. He has been Professor of Physics at the Birkbeck College, University of London, since 1933. He was a Fellow of King's College, Cambridge, in 1923 ; Demonstrator in Physics in the Cavendish Laboratory, Cambridge, 1925, and Lecturer in 1930.

HARRIET COHEN (pianoforte) ERNST BLOCH was originally a Swiss composer, and as a younger man made a career in Geneva, not only as a musician, but, in his spare time, as a lecturer on Metaphysics at the University. In 1916, however, he went to the United States as a conductor to Maud Allan on tour, was there invited to conduct one of his works with the Boston Symphony Orchestra, and thereafter settled in New York. He is now, therefore, according to American somewhat acquisitive standards, a one hundred per cent. American composer, and Swiss merely by an accident of birth. As a musician, however, his reputation is international and rapidly rising.
