Will Complete M.I. Lab By December
plishments, Harris is in demand as a speaker, having addressed such institutions at Stanford University, the University of Michigan, Michigan State, Columbia University, Juliillard School of Music, Boston University, New York University, Mills College, and others. The University of Kansas will be added to this list next week.
Construction of the new Mineral Industries building is progressing rapidly and on schedule, according to J. J. Jakosky, dean of the School of Engineering. Concrete has been laid and walls completed on the first and second floors, and work is being started on the third. Barring bad weather or other unforeseen circumstances, the building will be completed by the end of December this year, Dean Jakosky stated.
The building is being financed by a legislative grant of $408,500. Of this, $360,000 will go for construction of the building itself and the remaining $48,000 will be used for equipment.
A new observatory will be erected on the roof to replace the one in the old wooden observatory, which will be torn down and its equipment placed in the new building.

Roy Harris, who will help the University observe Music Week by addressing the convocation Monday morning on "Music and People," ranks today as one of the very first creative minds in American composition.
In addition to his speech, Harris will be presented in Hoch auditorium next Thursday night on the Gala Concert, leading the University band and symphony orchestra in several of his own numbers, while the A Cappella choir under the direction of Dean D. M. Swarthout will $ ^{ \textcircled{4}} $
of Dean D. M. Swarthout will present some of his choral selections.
Roy Harris is a mid-westerner by birth, claiming Oklahoma as his native state. He was born of Scotch-Irish pioneers in a log cabin on the Cimarron frontier. In his youth he attended public school while spending long hours on the farm. Piano lessons from his mother, who "played by ear," encouraged him to seek musical self expression. At the age of 25, he decided to make music his life work.
Rockets To Fame
Somewhat later he took up the study of composition and theory under such teachers as Arthur Farwell and Nadia Boulanger. His rise to prominence has been sudden and rapid. A dozen years ago Harris was scarcely known as a composer, yet today he is among America's most important names in contemporary music.
Twice Harris has received a Guggenheim fellowship. In the 1935-36 poll for American composers by the Columbia Broadcasting company he received the highest vote—and the same honor on a similar poll conducted by Scribner's.
Harris' published compositions include four symphonies, three symphonic essays, any number of string quartet and quintet, string orchestra selections, and an imposing list of choral numbers, including a symphony for voices, based on poems of Walt Whitman.
To Perform Symphony
His Third Symphony has the distinction of having been performed 11 times in the last three years by the Boston Symphony Orchestra under Dr. Derge Koussevitzky. During this time it has enjoyed 38 performances, including an N. B. C. broadcast by Toscanini.
