The Orator made the following speech when presenting Mr Rubio to the Vice-Chancellor for the Honorary Degree of Master of Arts:
Ithacensis illius memoriam repetatis uelim, quem domum reuersum arcum suum ne quid damni cepisset perscrutari mirabantur ei qui coniugem appetebant.
'Telorum studiosus adest,' inquiunt, 'totumque retractat
haud secus ac facturus idem, sic undique temptat
ipse manu.' sed cum multum uersatus Vlixes
uirtutem teli sensisset inesse priorem,
tum facile, ut si quis cantu citharaque peritus
a clauo chordam tendit subtiliter, arcum
restituit, doctoque explorat pollice neruum:
is sonat haud alio sonitu quam cantat hirundo.1
quid sonet hirundo nunc quidem omittamus, cithara uero quomodo dulcissimum edat sonum id constat hunc uirum prae ceteris curae habere, qui inter Apollinis artes prius medicam secutus forte consequitur musicam: nam in Hispania cum eis coniunctus quos uocamus Aegyptios non modo arte citharoedica floruit sed etiam citharae formam fabricamque explorabat. mox faber scientissimus factus instrumentorum quae chordis personant genera uaria si quae manca et antiqua erant reficit, noua idem creat. qui si musicis non adfuisset, uix audiri denuo coepta esset Musa maiorum.
instrumentorum quae Antonius ille Cremonensis creauit praeclara uirtus est. qua in uirtute inuestiganda physicis nostris occupatis subuenit hic uir. nam cum perscrutantibus appareret inter resinae cutem exteriorem et ipsum lignum puluerem aliquem quasi puteolani generis illitum resinam occlusisse quin altius ipsa penetraret, instrumentum eadem ratione curauit creandum; quo quidem sic parato (artine in hac re plus tribuas an fortunae quis sciat?) iuuenis quidam triduo post usus in certamine superauit.
uirum tam physicis nostris quam musicis notum uobis praesento, utrorumque fautorem sapientissimum et artis suae iam per annos triginta decus et ornamentum,
1 See Homer Odyssey xxi 393-411.
THERE is a scene in Homer's Odyssey which you may recall: the hero sat testing his bow, in case it had come to harm in his absence, and the suitors were full of wonder. 'Quite a connoisseur of bows, it seems,' they said. 'He looks it over as if he meant to make one himself, feeling it so with his fingers.' The much-tried Odysseus soon knew that the weapon was as good as ever; like a master of song and guitar who stretches the gut to its peg with the utmost ease, so he restrung the bow. Then he tested the string with expert thumb, and the twang was as clear as the song of a swallow.
What song the swallow sings we may leave for the moment, but the sound of a good guitar is by common consent supremely this man's business. He set out to be a doctor, but chance brought him to skill in music, Apollo's other art. He joined some Spanish gypsies, and became not only expert at playing the guitar but more and more interested too in the form and construction of the instrument. Soon he was a most learned master craftsman, repairing and making anew stringed instruments of many sorts, lutes, lyres, harpsichords, violins, and cellos. Without him the revival of early music could scarcely have happened.
Most famous of all stringed instruments are those of Stradivari. With the help of Mr Rubio our Department of Engineering has investigated their excellence. It seems that between the wood and the varnish a layer of paste was laid, which may have prevented the varnish from penetrating the wood too deeply afterwards. Then came the test of the observation: he made another instrument to the same formula. It is probably no coincidence that a young musician in a competition used an instrument so constructed only three days after Mr Rubio had finished it, and won.
I present to you a man as well known among some of our engineers as he is in our Faculty of Music, for thirty years the ornament and glory of his craft,
T. J. MEAD, Registrary
