Frank L. Wright Will Be Assembly Speaker Jan.15
Famous American Architec Will Discuss Education Problems Under Taliesin Plan
Frank Lloyd Wright, internationally famous American architect, will be the speaker at an all-University convention Tuesday, Jan. 15. Wright will probably speak on "Talesin - An Experiment in American Culture."
The conventions committee, under the chairmanship of H. G. Ingham, director of the extension division, has been trying for several months to work arrangements with Wright to agree with speaking team Wright to make.
Sincere in Beliefs
"The committee selected Wright because it considers him an outstanding American in the field of architectural design," and Mr. Ingham. "At the same time, he is a man who has a sincere message, and the ability to "put it across." Add to this the fact that what Wright says isn't propaganda, but the expression of a living philosophy and a life work." Thus Ingham spoke of the man in answer to the question, "Why is the University interested in having Frank Lloyd Wright for convoitation?"
Wright did apprentice work in the Chicago offices of Sullivan, recognized as the first distinctively "American" architect. Unrecognized and largely spurned when noticed, Wright for many years advanced his novel theories of architecture as an organic thing to be expressive of the life of a people. To him the idea of copying the old forms because they were more beautiful in a conventional way — this to him was anathema.
About 1911 recognition came at first from German architects, and then from other Europeans. Only in the last few years have American architects regarded Weight as a powerful figure whose theories and social ideals for architecture were no longer to be ignored.
Gained Fame in Europe
Warner to M.I.T. Next Year
A few years ago Wright established the now famous Taliesin scholarship, an embodiment of his approach to the problem of education. Workers in all the arts have handed themselves together under the Taliesin plan, with Wright as the master guide, and operate as a self-sustaining community. George M. Beal, associate professor of architecture, spent several weeks last summer as a student in the Taliesin estate of Wright.
University and Massachusetts Electrical Engineering Professors Exchange
Dean George C. Shaud of the School of Engineering announced today that arrangements have been completed with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology for an exchange profession in effect in the next academic year.
Robert W. Warner, professor of electrical engineering, will go to the Massachusetts school, with expenses paid by the University and full faculty status. Mr. Fouzze will be the exchange professor to come here from Massachusetts.
Dean Sham said that the plan was a new idea, originating at MIT, and the selection of the University of Kansas School of Engineering as a co-operating institution represents a distinct honor.
AMERICAN CHEMICAL SOCIETY CHOOSES BARTOW PRESIDENT
Dr. Edward Barton, former associate professor of chemistry at the University, has recently been chosen president-elect of the American Chemical Society for 1935. He will succeed the active president of that organization, which is the largest society of chemists in the world, in 1938.
Dr. Bartow was at the University of Kansas for six years from 1899 until 1905. Since then he has held many professorships and was on duty during the War in France as an officer in the Sanitization Corps. He was especially for his work in the investigation of the cause of a Kansas mine explosion in 1905.
Dr. Edward C. Franklin, who received degrees from the University in 1888 and 1892, also was president of the Society in 1923.

His career with R. K. O. Pictures began when he joined the company as an assistant to Merian C. Cooper, then vice-president in charge of all production. Mr. Cooper soon became acquainted with Allvine's knowledge of pictures and of public demand, so Cooper made Allvine an associate producer. He soon proved his worth. At the present time Mr. Allvine has just completed a book on "The Silver Streak," which features the fast, new streamline train owned by the Burlington railroad.
Many professors remember Glendon Alvine, when he was a student at the University. All say he was an excellent student, doing particularly well in the departments of English and journalism.

Kansas Will Open Conference Cage Schedule Monday
University Faces Missouri Contest With Three Practice Periods Remaining
The University of Kansas basketball squad continues its drive to prepare for the opening of the season here Monday night with a long practice session on the Auditorium court yesterday afternoon. The team has shown a lack of physical condition and the practice sessions which continued through vacation have been strenuous. There was some let down last night. The entire squad was alternated in the scrimmage session, the coaches being careful not to overwork any of the team.
To Practice Sunday
Three more regular practice session, remain before the opening game with Missouri Monday night. A short workout will probably be held Sunday afternoon. Next week will be a strenuous week for the Jayhawkers. They open the week with a two-game series with the Missouri Tigers, both games counting in the conference standings. After a two-day rest the Kansas Aggies will play on the Lawrence court in the third game the Wildcats and Jayhawkers have played this year. This will be the first game that counts in the conference standings, however.
In the scrimmage game last night Wells, Gray, Rogers, Shaffer, and Oyler made up the white team. Welhausen, Lutton, Kappelman, Allen, and Holmes started on the red team. Frequent changes were made, Ebbing went into the white lineup in the second half when the opposing changed over to the white squad.
Receives Large Gift for Children's Hospital
Missouri Hits Lost Two Games
Neither team was able to hit the basket consistently, and seemed to be struggling to practice work of the vacation sessions.
In the preliminary games, Missouri has lost both of her games, being defeated by Washington and St. Louis Universities. Kansas has won two and lost one. Two of these games were the clinic games with Kansas State and little of the ability of the Jayhawks could be forecast from them. In the only game played on the road in the final game, Jayhawks slipped through with an unimpressive victory over the Emporia Teachers' team.

Lectures have been made by such well known people as John DeWey, Richard Grace and John McConnell, Kirby Page, Bishop F. J. McConnell, Kirby Page, Bishop Paul Jones, and John Haynes Holmes.
Six nationally known speakers will come to Lawrence during the next two months to take part in a series of discussion lectures arranged by the League for Industrial Democracy, it was announced today.
The purpose of the League, whose officers include Alexander Meiklejohn, Vida D. Scudder, Stuart Chase and others mentioned above, is "education for a new social order, based on production for use and not for profit." John Dewey, professor emeritus of philosophy at Columbia University, states in writing an introduction to "Looking Forward," the discussion out which will be given with each season ticket for the course, "Those who are interested in maintaining the intelligent citizenship that is a necessity of American public life will lend support to this undertaking in every possible way."
A group of interested persons in the city have arranged the course which will begin Wednesday, Jan. 23, and which will continue for the next six weeks on the same day in the auditorium of the recently completed new school at Tenth and New York streets. A partial list of the guarantors includes: C. M. Baker, J. F. Brown, Carroll D. Clark, Arthur Davidson, Seba Eldridge, the Rev. Charles A. Eugwalt, the Rev. Carter Harrison, L. H. Houston, John Ise, the Rev. Joseph F. King, Jr., Paint B. Lawis, Anna McCracken, Roy McCullough, Walter Sandelius, and B. Stouffer.
Tickets on Sale Tomorrow
Everyone is invited to become a guarantor or sponsor for the course. Acceptance of the purpose of the league is not required at all. Most of the present guarantors are supporting the course because they like to create a sounding board for an exchange of opinion of public questions. Such topics as "Two Years of Roosevelt" "Government in Business" and "Dream Team" will be discussed. Seven tickets which will admit the holders to all six lectures and with which a free copy of the discussion pamphlet is given, will go on sale to-morrow at the Round Corner Drug Store, Bell Music company, and at the desk in the lounge of the Memorial Union building. Transportation will be arranged for persons unable to get to the New York school conveniently.
