ANNUAL AFFAIR ATTRACTS LARGE CROWD TO HILL

President of Alumni Association Lauds Kansas Educational System

11:00 a.m. Church services with your son or daughter.
1:00 p.m. Dinner with your son or daughter.
4:00 p.m. Costume Recital given by Mu Phi Epsilon honorary music!
Under the multi-colored lights of the Memorial Union ballroom, some 238 parents and students enjoyed the dinners and activities at the annual Parents Day banquet last night.
The tables were decorated with baskets of flowers trimmed in lavender, yellow, and pale blue, with tall candles of the same shades.
Difficult Not to Feel Pride
"In these dismal days, terrible months, and awful years of the depression, education for our children is the only investment that will not shrink," said Mrs. Mable McLaughlin Beck, '04, president of the K. U. Alumni association and associate editor of the Holton Recorder, one of the principal speakers of the evening. "Since modestly prevents from pruning the parents and timidity in school, even when it is only fitting to praise the University."
Saying that "it is difficult for an alumna not to feel pride for the University," Mrs. Beck declared that she should be proud, and she should be justly proud of his state.
"Of the 1000 world famous scientists, seven of them are in Kansas and six on the faculty of the University. This record is more than about which any other university in Missouri Valley, and one exceeded by three schoolwest of Pittsburgh, Pa."
Safeguard Higher Education
In speaking of the outstanding students, Mrs. Beck mentioned Glenn Cunningham for track, Lyman Field for oratory, and Evelyn Swarthout for music. She mentioned the two Summerfield scholars who recently received PhDs from the University Institute of Technology and said that K.U., was famous throughout the country.
"We must be on our guard to see that friends of education represent us in the legislature, so that the cause of education has been dedicated will not suffer.
"We, as parents, have every right for high hopes from the youth trained here, with their intellectual curiosity and their high courage. They will not fall us!"
"I don't object," said Mrs. Lindley in introducing the Chancellor, "to leading the grand march with a man who has forgotten to remove his overshoes, nor do I mind when a man who loves to fish so well refutes to eat sardines for lunch, but when the Kanan refers year after year to the Chancellor's parrots I have had enough.
"The Chancellor may know that there are two parrots in the Lindley household, but it is the rest of us that feed water, bath, and care for them and certainly we are the ones who get mutilated."
College Attendance Grows "I am relieved," began the Chancellor "I was afraid she might say more. In regard to the parrots, I want it known that I have been relieved of all responsibility.
"Revolutionary changes have taken place in state universities since Mrs. Beck attended college. In 1875 the total enrollment of state universities was only 2,340, in 1963 it had increased to 41,000 and in 1950 it reached 300,000 which was about 40 per cent of the total enrollment in schools of higher education.

Cottage Is Robbed
Bandit Holds Employees at Bay and Takes Cash
Entering the Cottage, 1144 Indiana street, about 11 o'clock last night, a Negro, using a sawed-off shotgun as a weapon, held up the proprietor and four employees, and escaped with approximately $40 in cash.
The Negro bucked his victims against the wall, and help himself to the contents of the cash register. He threatened to break into the sale, but decided to depart instead when Frank Winton, proprietor, told him there was nothing in it.
According to Lee Mitchell, c'35, an employee, the bandit was masked with what appeared to be a part of an old stocking with only holes cut for his eyes. He handled the sawed-off gun nervously, Mitchell said.
Besides Winton and Mitchell, three other students were in the restaurant, Earl Guist, ph'uncl; Harry Bauman, ph; and Barry Bennell, b34.

Poignant Romance
Of By-Gone Days Was Laid
On University Campus
A romance which was destined to become an outstanding love story in American letters, according to critics, had many of its settings and scenes laid at the University of Kansas.
old-timers from the University can perhaps form a vivid picture of the two lovers, which now seems only a legend. The romance is the love story of Byron Caldwell Smith, first professor of Greek language and literature here, and Katherine Stephens, one of his students, the professor of Greek at the University.
M. A. I. Tobin, who has information about the lovers and who also published an edition of the love letters of Smith, reveals the stirring episodes of their lives.
The letters are now published in their original form by the Maemillan company just as they were written by Byron Smith to Kate Stephens. The letters of the volume tell a story which is ineffable in its qualities, pathetic, sad, and beautiful.
Josef Hofmann's Recital Will End Concert Course
Celebrated Artist to Play in Conjunction With Music Week
One of the principal events of Music Week will be the concert of Josef Hofmann, world famous pianist and composer, to be given in the University auditorium, tomorrow night at 8:20 p.m. This presentation is the final program of the University concert course this year.
Hofmann is one of the most widely ravelled artists ever to appear here. In one transcontinental tour he gave 3 performances and a record is 3 performances in 30 days.
Hofmann first attained prominence in the musical world when but 10 years old. He represents one of the few instances in which a child prodigy has developed into an eminent master. He began to study piano in infancy and, at the age of 7, attracted the attention of Rubenstein. Born in Poland, Hofmann came to the United States for the first time in 1887 and began a concert tour which he was compelled to abandon because of the interference of the Society for Prevention of Cruelty to Children.
He has made many concert tours both in Europe and America and has composed several concerts and piano works as a symphony and an orchestral suite.

I
Prelude and Fugue in D Major
