THE LECTURE COURSE.
Every Loyal Student Should go and Aid in Bringing About the Premanent Lecture Course Bureau—Prof. Templin Interviewed - 33c or 75c.
The lecture course is here is with us for this year and for the next year and the year after that and as long as time shall last if the student so will it. The attractions for this year are the best that have ever been offered to the K. S. U. public. For our orators there are Gunsalus, Max O'Rell and Powers. The Mendellissohn quintette, the Ariel quartette and the Lotus Glee club quartette will warble their sweetest for those who delight in melody. All the above attractions are too well known to need any extended notice. It is sufficient to say they will be here without fail.
A great many of the students when approached on the subject of lecture course give as a reason for not purchasing, utter the sell of last year and say, "never again for me." Granted that our last year's did not fill its obligations, is not this one bound by the strictest contract to do so? It is conceded by all that the University should have a lecture course which is worthy of it in every respect. This year we have the best that can be gotten. It is not a cheap lecture course and some money will be made. If 600 tickets are sold the lecture course bureau will have a fund of $400 clear cash to begin operations with, next year. With this as a guarantee against loss, a committee could be selected from the students and faculty who would willingly assume the responsibility connected with a first class lecture course. Next year the COURIER hopes to see a lecture course presented to the students at absolute cost. The fund will permit a greater number of attractions to be engaged at probably a smaller price per ticket than this year. The advantage of a good lecture course is too often under estimated. Here in Lawrence this year we will have the opportunity offered us to hear what we will not be able to hear after we leave school unless we are fortunate enough to be located in one of the larger cities.
The Courier believing the above, and filled with a desire to bring the lecture course and its importance before the students, started on a search for Prof. Templin with interview in mind. He was found. Read what follows;
How is the lecture course prospering?
"It was not definitely known until the day before yesterday, what the list of attractions for the course would be so that there was some hesitancy in pressing the sale of course tickets by those having the matter in charge. This (Thursday) morning there are reported about 120 as sold. There is good reason for believing that a sufficient number will be disposed of to give the students a good return for their labors and to enable them to proceed next season with their own organization."
What and who are the attractions?
“Dr. Gunsanulus and Leland J. Powers, neither of whom since their appearance here last winter need a word of commendation. The three musical entertainment are given by the Mendelsohn Quintette club, the Lotus Glee club and the Ariel —Thomas combination; lastly there is the most entertaining humorist on the platform, Max O'Rell, the Frenchman, author of 'John Bull and his Island' and 'Jonathan and His Country.' There is not an inferior number in the list.”
Why should a student go?
"I don't know that I am called upon to "boom" this cause or to advise students as to what they ought to do. I don't hesitate to say however that a good lecture course has a high culture value for a student as well as any one else. Most students after leaving the University, never have a chance to hear such lectures and concerts as might be heard here and it is a mistake to think it a matter of economy to deprive themselves of such privileges."
What are the prospects for a good course next year?
"A good course may be providen by some private parties next year as it is this year, then parties assuming the risk and taking the probable profits but a better course for next year depends wholly upon the sale of course tickets. With three or four hundred dollars in in its treasury as a safety fund. I am confident a much better and more extensive course could be arranged for the students, for the same money. My idea is to have a course of the very best talent in the country, not necessarily professional, and have it without a single person making a penny out of it. But it is folly to think of asking any party or parties to sign contracts amounting to a thousand dollars or more for the good of the public without something as backing. I might add that some body is going to make some money out of the course this year, and it depends upon the students as to who it shall be, themselves or the managers."
