Just recently the piston action of the B.B.C. Organ has been re-designed. It has now probably the most comprehensive piston action of any British organ. The organ has four manuals with eighteen separate piston actions to each manual. Multiply this by the 150 stops which are spread over the four manuals and the total amounts to 2,700 silver contacts, which have had to be reconnected. These figures may seem ridiculously small compared with those uttered with such amazing matter-of-fact by Sir James Jeans , but to an organ builder, even to the experienced builder of the B.B.C. Organ, Mr. John Compton , they are pretty big.
The result of this re-designing is that the recital organist can arrange the tone colour he wants to use before he starts on his performance, or, in slightly more technical terms, he can control the organ either by fixed piston action, giving normal build-up and solo combinations, or alternatively by adjusting every piston in the organ by the mere turning of a small switch at the console.
Once he has set his pistons, he can take away the key, thus making it impossible for anyone to upset his arrangements.

Epilogue-God sent His messenger, the rain
The Golden Legend, a condensed version of Longfellow's poem made by Joseph Bennett , was first performed with outstanding success at Leeds Festival in 1886. The story is briefly as follows: In the Prologue, Lucifer and his spirits are impotently attempting to wreck Strasburg Cathedral.
In the next scene Prince Henry is despairing because he can be cured of a strange malady only by a maiden willingly dying for his sake. Lucifer, however, in the disguise of a physician offers him a cure. This is no other than alcohol. and the Prince gives way to it, thereby suffering degradation and banishment.
He meets Elsie, who compassionately offers her life for his. In pursuit of this purpose, the Prince and Elsie journey to Salermo. They meet Lucifer, disguised first as a friar, then as the doctor to whom Elsie is to entrust the furtherance of her design.
The Prince now declares he was only testing Elsie, but she, constant to her plan, is rescued only at the last minute by the Prince. A choral epilogue completes the work.

'The Challenge of the Greek. The Discipline of a Classical Education' T. R. GLOVER , D.D., LL.D. (Public Orator in the University of Cambridge)
There has been only one broadcast this year in this notable series, namely, Professor Alexander's lecture on ' Philosophy and Beauty ' in January. The National Lecture tonight is to be given by Dr. T. R. Glover , one of the outstanding classical scholars of the age.
Besides holding many important academic appointments in different parts of the world, Dr. Glover has been Public Orator in the University of Cambridge since 1920. It thus falls to him to prepare and deliver speeches of eulogy in Latin on the occasion of the conferring of honorary degrees.
Dr. Glover was asked to talk about the classics this evening, and elected to discuss the great influence of the Greeks not only on their contemporaries, 1 ut on the generations that lived after them down to the present day.
