English Law Basic For Many Societies
An amazing ability to grow with changing social and philosophical conditions has kept English Law a basis for many societies, Sir Francis Raymond Evershed, third-ranking jurist of Great Britain, told persons attending three Judge Timothy Nelson Stephens law lectures last weekend in Strong Auditorium.
The British barrister who holds the title of master of the rolls, royal courts of justice, London, England, spoke on the "Academic and Practical Aspects of English Law Contrasted."
About 90 persons attended a banquet in the Student Union Friday in honor of Sir Raymond and Lady Evershed. The lectures were Friday night, Saturday and Sunday in Strong Auditorium.
Basis For Our Law
In a preface to his lectures, Sir Raymond said English law is a common basis for the laws of both Great Britain and the United States.
"The great war to end all wars between the United States and Britain come about 1814. It is worthy of note that shortly after that war American and British jurists exchanged correspondence in regard to matters of law, proving that although separated, both countries still maintained, through English law, a common heritage. England and America are still bound together to preserve that common faith," he said.
Many Nations Influenced

Outlining English law as a potent
force in many societies, Sir Ray-
mond said that although many coun-
tries in England control they
still maintain English own.
He listed the cases of Australia
and New Zealand as obvious exam-
Sir Raymond told of recently receiving correspondence from an Indian jurist. The jurist wrote
Hope In Air As UN Meets
UNITED NATIONS, N. Y.—(UP)
Delegates gathered today for the opening tomorrow of the 10th annual session of the United Nations General Assembly in an atmosphere of hope that East-West tensions are easing.
An agenda of 70 items, including President Eisenhower's military inspection plan, confronted the Assembly.
Henry Cabot Lodge, Jr., U. S.
Ambassador to the U. N., urged the
General Assembly to accept Mr.
Eisenhower's proposal for aerial and
ground inspection and an exchange
of military blueprints by the U. S.
and the Soviet Union.
He said acceptance of the plan would eliminate the threat of surprise attack and eliminate "one of the greatest causes of world tension."
predicted eventual Soviet approval of the inspection proposal. Soviet, Foreign Minister V. M. Malolotov, in from Moscow yesterday, said he was "an encore wish that Soviet-United Nations may develop favorably to the good of our two nations and for universal peace."
He said he had "gained the impression that the road from Moscow to New York has become better and smoother."
However, Molotov was expected to raise the perennial issue of Red China's claim to the U. N. seat held by Nationalist China. The United States was prepared to counter with a resolution, certain to be adopted calling for postponement of any discussion of the issue for the duration of the session.
In this connection, U. N. Secretary General Dag Hammarskjold said in a television interview yesterday that he felt the Chinese Communists were move closer to conditions under which he would favor their admission to the U. N.
Key Odds

that India still maintains English law as a symbol, and added;
"If the House of Commons is the 'Mother of Parliament,' it would not be wrong to call the Queen's courts the father of courts—as the higher courts in all Nations of the Common-wealth, and seek to emulate the ideals and traditions which Britain has lived through the centuries."
Although Israel and England are not on the friendliest basis, Sir Raymond said, British law, instilled by the British, still forms the main basis of law in that nation, although it is not of native origin.
Several district judges, justices of the Kansas Supreme Court, and members of the Kansas State Bar Association, as well as students and faculty of the University Law School attended the lectures.
The life and times of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart will be honored by the University during 1955-56 in cooperation with the William Rockhill Nelson Gallery of Art and Atkins Museum of Fine Arts, the Kansas City Philharmonic Orchestra, and the Linda Hall Library of Science and Technology.
Mozart's Life Featured By KU
The celebration, Mozart and His Age, is in memory of the great composer's two hundredth birthday. He was born the 27th of January, 1756.
The general theme of the celebration will be the significance of Mozart's music and the intellectual and cultural currents of his time. To this end there will be concerts, plays, lectures, and discussions arranged to explore Mozart's period from as many points of view as possible such as political, history, art, science, economics, literature and music.
Fine Arts Performance
The University of Kansas School of Fine Arts will perform a great deal of 18th century material throughout the year. The full resources of the School will be involved, including the concert course attractions, events on the chamber music series, faculty recitals, student recitals, concerts by such musical organizations as the University Symphony Orchestra, the A Capella Choir, the University Chorus, the KU Chorale, and the Little Symphony Orchestra.
The regular play subscription series of the University of Kansas will be devoted exclusively to famous playwrights of the age of Mozart. In collaboration with the University Theatre, one or more operas will be presented.
The University of Kansas Museum of Art plans to hold three major exhibitions dealing with the 18th century German and Austrian art as its contribution towards the celebration. The first, which will open early in October and run for two months, will deal with sculpture. The second exhibition will consist of prints and drawings and the third will deal exclusively with paintings of the entire century.
Museum Schedules Lectures
Museum Schedules Lectures The first issue of the University of Kansas Museum of Art publication, the Register, will be devoted exclusively to German and Austrian works of art of the 18th century in the Museum's collections. The University Museum is also scheduling a series of lectures on 18th century art which will be held in conjunction with the exhibitions.
The University of Kansas Library will devote its exhibition facilities to material supplementing the various musical and artistic events. The annual public lecture on Books and Bibliography, to be presented in the early fall of 1955, will be on an 18th century theme.
At the present time the University of Kansas Library is showing an exhibition on the works of Indvig Holberg (1684-1754), the Dano-Norwegian dramatist and Polymath.
In both Lawrence and Kansas City the University of Kansas will provide a varied program of public lectures by well known experts in many fields, devoting particular attention to the social and political events of the eighteenth century.
