Choir To Give 'Requiem' In Memory Of K.U. War Dead
'Rest Eternal, Grant Unto Them, Lord'— Verdi's Mass To Be Sung at 4 p.m. Sunday
"Rest eternal, grant unto them, Lord; and let light everisting lighten upon them."
These words are from Guiseppe Verdi's "Grand Requiem Mass," to be presented by a 250-voice choir and the University symphony orchestra, in honor of the 225 K.U. war dead at 4 p.m. Sunday in Hoeh, auditorium $ ^{a} $
Sunday in Hoch auditorium. Part of the program, which will last an hour and a half, will be broadcast over KFKU from 4 until 5 p.m.
The "Requiem" performance will be preceded by memorial talks from Gov. Andrew F. Schoeppel and Chancellor Deane W. Malott, and a dedication of the University gold star flag. Invitations have been sent to the families of the University war dead.
"Many families are expected to attend the service and one mother is coming all the way from New York." Miss Marjorie Whitney, chairman of the Requiem committee, said today.
The guard of honor for the gold star flag will be Roger Arnold, E. F. Burke, James Walker, James Bowman, R. D. Tiper, and Joseph Barrington, from the Navy R.O.T.C.; and John Black, Clarence Francisco, R. A. Nicholas, James Henderson, Leon Sherwood, and W. C. Stringer from the Army R.O.T.C. Former service-women who will assist in the flag-raising are Irene Marshall, Mrs. Adelaide Marquand, and Mrs. Priscilla Jones. Members of the University Veterans' club will serve as ushers.
The Verdi "Requiem," in Latin, has been given twice before at the University, the last time being April 30, 1929, in the spring music festival. The chorus taking part in the performance with orchestra accompaniment include the a capella端 and the combined movie end

"The idea of a memorial service first occurred to me last fall," explained D. M. Swarthout, dean of the School of Fine Arts. "We surveyed the possibilities in the music field and hit upon the idea of presenting Verdi's 'Requiem Mass'."
"This concert mass had an interesting beginning," Dean Swarthout said. "After the death of the great Italian poet and statesman, Alessandro Manzoni, in 1873, it was suggested that a group of Italian composers write a requiem mass dedicated to this man who helped to bring about a united Italy."
"After submitting their work, it was found that most of the compositions were too mediocre for public presentation. The only selection of

fine quality was that written by Verdi," he continued.
"Centering his work around this one selection," which became the third movement (Libera Me) of the Verdi 'Requiem', the composer soon completed the 'Grand Requiem Mass' and dedicated it to Gioacchino Rossini, Italian composer. A mass of this type is not used in the Catholic church, but is of a more heroic conception." Dean Swarthout said.
Other members of the committee in charge of organizing the service and designing the souvenir programs are Miss Helen Skilton, Miss Dessa Bush, Mike Andrews, J. Sheldon Carey, Miss Gladys Hendrieks, and Miss Arvid Jacobson, all instructors in the School of Fine Arts. Miss Edna Hill, home economics professor, is in charge of making the gold star flag.
20-Year-Old English Bride Dies in Arms Of G.I. Husband
Nottingham, Eng. (UP)—Mrs. Joseph Cananzey, wife of a former paratrooper from Taunton, Mass., who flew to England to be with her in her last hours, died in her husband's arms.
Cananzezy had flown from the United States on funds raised by his fellow townsmen at Taunton. His wife, who would have been 20 years old Saturday, was a victim of tuberculosis.
The 22-year-old ex-GI married the English girl during the war. He said that before she died she whispered to him, "Goodbye darling. We will meet again where there are no partings."
Taunton residents provided the money for Cananzey's trip to England after doctors refused to allow his wife to be moved to the United States.
