Max Bruch , whose Violin Concerto in G minor is known to all violinists, and whose ' Kol Nidrei ' is equally familiar to cellists, was made an Honorary Doctor of Music in the University of Cambridge, and all his life he was very proud of this distinction. He had a great admiration for Scottish and Welsh folk music, of which he published several arrangements for male and mixed choruses. Bruch died in 1920. The String Quintet, like the Octet which received its first performance in a broadcast programme last July, is still in manuscript. It also shows, with Bruch's other chamber works, a fine style of classical writing and a keen melodic sense.

Round the Countryside: Bats
C.C. Gaddum
Few creatures appear so mysterious and gruesome as bats. Their very mode of life, their preference for the twilight and the dark corners of the earth, tend to make the ordinary person a little afraid of these small aerial creatures. Mr. Gaddum will try to dispel these illusions, and to show that bats are among the most interesting creatures to be found in the British Isles.

' The Relation of Morals to the Progress of Science'
L. P. JACKS , LL.D., D.Litt.
This broadcast has the distinction of being the first National Lecture of the year ; it also marks the ' coming-of-age ' of the series. From time to time since February, 192!!, some of the most distinguished and intellectual men in the country have broadcast lectures of national importance.
Dr. L. P. Jacks was Principal of Manchester College, Oxford, from 1915 to 1931, and has been editor of The Hibbert Journal since its foundation in 1902. In 1887 he entered the Unitarian ministry as assistant to the Rev. Stopford Brooke in Bedford Chapel (and the ' Life and Letters of Stopford Brooke' was to be his first publication). He was subsequently minister at Renshaw Street Chapel, Liverpool, and the Church of the Messiah, Birmingham. Besides being distinguished as a philosopher, he is known to a wide public for the charm of his writing.
Dr. L. P. Jacks is also famous, by the way, for being the father of Dr. M. L. Jacks, who has recently become Director of the Department of Education at Oxford University after fifteen years as Headmaster of Mill Hill School, to which he was appointed at the unusually early age of twenty-six.
