School of Fine Arts.
Miss Lolitta Mason, of Pittsburg, Kan., has registered for work in pipe organ with Prof. Penny.
Prof. Preyer has composed two songs, which will soon be published by the Oliver Ditson Co., of Boston. The words of the songs are poems of Eugene Ware.
Prof. Penny's class in the History of Fine Arts is now studying Early Christian Art, especially architecture and painting. Lantern slide lectures are given every Thursday, and recitations on Monday.
Miss Margaret Meyer of Hutchinson has registered in the painting department.
The next event in the School of Fine Art series is the art lecture by Mr. Elbert Hubbard of New York city.
The Christmas concert proved to be one of the finest ever given by the school The idea that a Lawrence audience is a cold one, musically, was entirely disproven throughout the program, especially by the splendid ovation given to Professors Preyer and Penny in their rendering of the Hungarian Fantasie, and Harold Henry's playing of the Liszt Hungarian Raphsodie, No.2. The playing of Miss Cooke, Miss Davis and Miss Criss likewise ranked high, both technically and musically. The St. Cecilia Society came in for a good share of the applause, especially in the beautiful rendering of "Babylon." The vocal solos of Miss Van Cleef and Mr. Lacey were well executed and also well received by the large audience of students and town's people present.
Selections from Elbert Hubbard's Creed.
I believe that God is here, and that we are as near him now as we ever shall be. I do not believe He started this world a-going and went away and left it to run itself.
I believe in the sacredness of the human body, this transient dwelling place of a living soul, and so I deem it the duty of every man and every woman to keep his or her body beautiful through right thinking and right living. I believe John Ruskin, William Morris, Henry Thoreau, Walt Whitman and Leo Tolstory to be prophets of God, and they should rank in mental reach and spiritual insight with Elijah, Hosea, Ezekiel and Isaiah. I believe that the best way to prepare for a future life is to be kind, live one day at a time, and do the work you can do the best, doing it as well as you can.
I believe that we are all sons of God and it doeth not yet appear what we shall be. I believe in freedom, social, economic domestic, political, mental, spiritual.
I believe in sunshine, fresh air, friendship, calm sleep, beautiful thoughts. I believe the universe is planned for good.
— Fra Elbertus.
