It was a perfect day, but the interview did not go well.


It was a perfect day, but the interview did not go well.

Saturday, May 16, 2009

While I was in Princeton New Jersey recently, I found myself walking along Nassau Street across from Princeton University.

It was a beautiful spring day. It was a perfect day - - or as Vivian Laxton would say, “C'est un jour parfait à donner des sédatifs.” (http://tinyurl.com/oh72eo)

The sidewalk was packed with all sorts of interesting folks; so, I thought that I would gather some views on contemporary events from the person in the street.

Hey, these things always go well when Mike Schuh does them.

Well, my experience was not so good.

She had nothing to say.

I can’t imagine what went wrong. I talked at great length about fashion, sports, life in a college town.

I even sang to her: “Oh it’s such a perfect day, I’m glad I spent it with you. Oh such a perfect day, You just keep me hanging on, You just keep me hanging on.

“Just a perfect day, Problems all left alone, Weekenders on our own. It’s such fun.

“Just a perfect day, You made me forget myself. I thought I was someone else, Someone good.”
(http://tinyurl.com/r43u7h)

In return, I got, like, nothing.

Zip. (And, I might add, it was at this point, that my wife did not know me.)

Maybe I need to get some pointers from Bryan Sears or Clifford Cumber.

Maybe I need to grow a beard like Cumber. Sears would’ve nailed it.

I did get some funny looks from some passers-by.

20071017 Rider University Statement on the Death of Student from Columbia Maryland

Rider University Statement on the Death of Student from Columbia Maryland

October 17th, 2007

Our hearts and prayers go out to the Warfield family and their friends and family in Columbia Maryland.

(A member of my family attends Westminster Choir College and we received this e-mail earlier…)

The Westminster Choir College has gone above and beyond the call of duty to address the dangers posed by the drinking behaviors engaged by too-many college students today. This is terrible shame for a student to have the talent to attend Westminster Choir College only to have a promising career cut short.

Dear Family Members,

We are deeply saddened to inform you of the death of one of our students, Justin R. Warfield, an 18-year old Westminster Choir College freshman from Columbia, Maryland. We know that we speak for the entire University when we extend our heartfelt sympathy to his family.

At approximately 5 a.m. this morning a 911 call was placed from an apartment on the 200 block of Witherspoon Street in Princeton. An ambulance arrived and police and the first aid squad administered CPR. At about 6 a.m., Justin was pronounced dead at University Medical Center
at Princeton.

An investigation is under way to determine the cause of death. We understand from the Mercer County Prosecutor’s Office that they believe alcohol and drugs may have played a role, and we will await the findings from the medical examiner.

This fall, Rider implemented a number of steps to discourage alcohol and drug abuse on our campuses. We had hoped we would never again have to experience another tragedy involving one of our students. We remain vigilant and determined to educate our students about the dangers of excessive drinking and will continue to do so.

Drinking on college campuses is a national crisis and we will continue to take whatever steps are necessary to ensure that we provide an even safer learning environment for all of our students.

Our thoughts and prayers are with Justin's family. Counseling and campus ministry staff continue to be available for all students, faculty and staff on both campuses.

20031013 Westminster Choir College by The Daily Princetonian

Westminster Choir College

By Zack Surak, Princetonian Senior Writer

Imagine walking on to one of the smallest campuses you've ever seen. As you walk into a dramatic hall — similar in beauty and presence to Princeton's Nassau Hall — images of venerated men and women stare at you from the depths of the canvases that line the walls. History resonates from the soul of the building.

The rest of the interior is reminiscent of the elegant beauty of Prospect House with antique artifacts indicating a rich history. But the setting is not that of Prospect House or Nassau Hall.

As you ascend to the main lobby up a story from the entrance, a wall of singing suspends you in your tracks. Peering into the room awash with late afternoon sunlight, you see a woman — no more than 25 years old — standing adjacent to a black grand piano. She is sweetly singing an aria from an opera that this writer never had the privilege of hearing. The notes range at least three octaves and the emotions of the lyrics are played out on the singer's face.

Then, the surreal scene is interrupted. A member of the small audience calls out, "More legato . . . suspend . . . suspend . . . and release."

[…]

Westminster is a small music college with an undergraduate program of roughly 330 students pursuing scholarship in music. Classes include music education, organ performance, piano, sacred music, theory and composition, voice performance and music theater.

At the graduate level, Westminster also has about 110 students who are working towards a Master of Music degree.

The story of Westminster began in 1920 when John Finley Williamson established the Westminster Choir at the Westminster Presbyterian Church in Dayton, Ohio. Within a few short years, Williamson had his volunteer choir singing at a professional level at national venues.

The early success motivated Williamson to start the Westminster Choir School in 1926 to professionally train musicians. The school moved to Ithaca, New York, in 1929 and became part of Ithaca College.

Then, in 1932, the institution moved to be close to major cities with symphonic orchestras and to a seminary that would complement the school's study of sacred music. With the help of Charles Erdman, pastor of the First Presbyterian Church and professor at the Princeton Theological Seminary, the Westminster Choir School moved to Princeton and was renamed Westminster Choir College.

At the time, Princeton President John Hibben helped Westminster's move as he lobbied the New Jersey governor for approval of college's charter. In those first years, Hibben also made the University chapel available for choral services and allowed the college to use University grounds for Westminster's annual spring festival. Close ties were forged between the University and Westminster.

Westminster continued to expand its renown during the 20th century, attracting many prominent musicians to its conservatory and faculty.

Then, in 1992, Westminster merged with Rider University.

Today, Westminster continues to attract topflight musicians. The school is home to musicians from 40 states and 18 countries.
