When they parted, in 1923, both began careers in their respective universities. The brothers were team players whenever possible. To start with, both studied in Chicago and Leipzig, Germany.

Newman Club to Observe Living Rosary Rite Sundav
More than 70 Newman club members will take part in the eighth annual living rosary at 4 p.m. Sunday on the lawn of Danforth chapel.
The living rosary devotion is a form of prayer in which each person represents a bead of the rosary and says the prayer which he represents. This is done individually or in unison.
The procession will begin at the Student Union at 3:30 p.m. and march to the chapel at 4 p.m for the half-hour ceremony. A color guard representing each ROTC unit on the campus will lead the group.
Queen of the living rosary and her attendants will be elected Sunday morning at the Newman club breakfast. At the conclusion of the afternoon ceremony the queen will place a crown of flowers on the head of a statue of the Blessed Virgin Mary.
The Rev. George Towle, Newman club sponsor, said a group of war veterans and their priest organized
the living rosary devotion here in May 1946 and it has been held every May since then.
Although the rosary itself dates back to the first century the living rosary was begun in 1826, when one person represented each decade of the rosary.
The prayers are counted on beads arranged in groups of 10 small beads separated by a larger one. Although the complete rosary consists of 15 decades most rosaries in use comprise five decades.

The rosary is a devotion which combines the repetition of prayers with meditation on events in the lives of Christ and His mother. It takes its name from the Latin "rosarium," a garden of roses, or a wreath of roses.

KU's half of the duo, Prof. Donald Swarthout, was president of the MTNA for two terms. He also was president of the National Association of Schools of Music for four years.
