Beauty of World Unknown to Many, Says Lorado Taft
Convocation Speaker Give
Keynotes for Training
of Appreciation
in Arts
We are living in a world of wondrous beauty of which most of us are oblivious. Lorado Taft, self-styled "talking autobiography" of teenagers expresses his love for art and Arti conversation this morning. Mr. Taft's speech was overflowing with sage sayings and witty remarks that capture the audience in outbursts of laughter.
"Eternal mysteries are beyond us," said Mr. Taft, "but if we are making no gain in their solution, life is a ghastly fear. I believe evidences that we are making gains are shown in the constantly growing beauty about us. Art is the highest expression of this aspiration in man."
Although there is appreciation of the beauty in America, Mr. Taft believes that teachers themselves. He would educate the public to appreciate the beauty in America.
"Life is the most interesting thing I ever got into, and as the years pass it becomes more and more magnificent. I'm a great painsurge of beauty unfolding around us but how little we get out of it." It revealed his ebonyosity of life.
Taft Gives His Gospel
"I want to make a confession of my faith. The gospel I preach is to open the blind eyes of those about me to the beauties of this world, to introduce a real treat to our schools, to introduce the American's sense of sequence.
"This sense of sequence is what we need in America. The cultivation of children with discrimination, if used with discrimination, to bring it about. A cat has no sense of sequence; it is not interested in the grandchildren, but why should we be interested?"
The bearers of bidden talents in the arts must be awakened, but not as they are now, or as they move quickly, gladly, only to die away for lack of appreciation. Our ancestors had a great feeling for integrity and truth, but little sense of responsibility.
"It is a hopeful sign that little art centers are springing up in our small towns," she says. "I don't think that these will save the souls of the people, but it will be the result."

A Sculptor Says
That little country, Greece, that could rattle around in this state of Kansas, fills the whole horizon of the past because of its devotion to beauty.
Life is the most interesting thing ever got into.
The average person simply endures beauty—he doesn't understand it.
Our American schools are taking the place of the temples of Europe.
An art gallery in every town won't save the people, but it will help.
We Americans are living in a world of beauty, to which most of us are totally oblivious.
We older people can enjoy beauty better—we aren't half so scared; we know nothing worse can happen to us.
Nobody wanted art or sculpture, but the women wanted to hear about it; so I became a talking artist.

Fight With Stage Hands Draws Fire From Chancellor
Audience Last Night Hears Administration View Explained
'University Will Not Yield'
Orchestra Leader Not Worried by Trouble; Naturalization Is His Concern
The chancellor's statement was as follows:
"The University will not yield," concluded Chancellor E. H. Lindsey, in a brief statement last night before the concert in the high school auditorium, regarding the differences between the university and the local stage hands' union which resulted in the University Auditorium being placed on the "unfair" list.
"I think it is due this audience to make our own assessment of a student a资质 so why its asking have the concert here tonight rather than in the University Auditorium. I wonder if we can do that at the Minneapolis orchestra, which has shown a desire to do its part in fulfilment."
Trouble for Several Years
"For several years the University had trouble downtown whenever it attempted to put on dramatic productions, which has mandated the employment of more men than we often need necessary, and who might have been made. In fact, however, the University has never preformed any decisions as commercial enterprises."
"In desperation we built and equipped the theater in剧院 hall, for the University to get our students the best of the traveling productions that
"No Onarrel With Union"
"We had no quarrel with the union, as union men employed by the University in many capacities and agreed to accept its demands," the union to accept up to four members of the union on one condition, and that these members would be brought in to operate the switchboards. We did agree, however, if the union wanted an electrician, to hire one from the union, and allow him to look on if he wished, but not to operate the
"This agreement would have caused added expense to the University. Last $90 for union stage hands where very little work was required. We have on our staff men adequately trained for these tasks and we are identifying those who are making their way.
Thought Agreement Reached
"Immunity Agreement Release"
"The military have arrangements with local
towns where we are had to believe the
compromise had been agreed on, al-
though it was not a legal agreement."
"The first information the University had of any difficulty came yesterday afternoon when a representative of the orchestra advised us that he had received instructions not to allow them to play in the University Auditorium.
"We first decided to have the concert in the stadium, but weather consent did not permit the security of the Lawrence school board we are here. The University will not
After this explanation of the situation, the audiences, which in the aftermath toward the orchestra, settled down, forget its unpleasant disturbance and felt more at ease.
some time in February, Dean Dearmet at the Haugen garage garage with the university agreed to sent at this time the proposals of the University and in their presence, wrote in the suggestions they made to the university, to agree. The union committee decided to take the proposals up with the other members and to let Dean Dearmet speak.
"Nothing more was said about the matter until the ultimatum just before the concert which ignored the proposal of the University and demanded that the University employ men at union scale for all University productions.
"If no agreement can be reached, no productions will be brought to the University in the future."
First Trouble for Conductor Henri Verbringhon, conductor of the Stravinsky Quartet, was just before the evening concert that he had never before encountered such difficulty with the stage hands' union. He appeared in a situation photography, however.
"I always accept things as I find them," he said.
