THURSDAY, MAY 3, 1928 SKILTON JUBILEE Charles Sanford Shilton, to whose honor the fifth annual musical festival week is here dedicated, has gained such mention for his faithfulness and service to this University for 25 years. His type of service and work has been an honor to himself and a distinction to the University. Professor Skilton is known nationally as a composer. His most outstanding work has been done in Indian music and in his oratorio, "The Guardian Angel." He has spent much time with the Indians of North America, listening to his music and getting its true meaning in order that he might better bring it into his own compositions. An event in which there is a chance to learn more of this study is always attended by him. It is such unfailing seat for his work that has made him the composer that he is and that has achieved for him his reputation. Last night brought him another honor with the presentation of his "Guardian Angel," accompanied by the Minneapolis Symphony Orchestra. The presentation of this brings renowned to the University. It afforded the students an opportunity to hear the work of a wonderful chorus and of the orchestra as well. The oratorio is the culmination of Professor Skilton's life in the North Carolina mountains where he lived for over three years in Moravian settlements. It is a simple tale told in song, a religious work with a wealth of strength and meaning. All these honors that are being shown him are open manifestations of the appreciation of his service and of his compositions. They are the tributes of those in his profession, but the whole University enters acknowledgement and appreciation of his work and what it has meant to the University and to the art of music. The Mimeapolis Symphony Orchestra in its two concerts today features many of his Indian numbers. This evening there will be a bandquet in his studio. RECOGNITION IN DESIGN The four awards received by University of Kansas students for rug designs submitted in this year's national competition argue strongly for the abilities of those students in the field of textile design, and for the quality of instruction which the University's department of design offers. The part which the instruction plays is evident from the fact that quality work is not sporadic in the Kansan department, but is consistently noticeable from year to year. Last year the local department captured six awards—more than any other school competing—and was, therefore, given the highest comparative rank in the context. It is a select company in which the local department finds itself, too. Except for the University of Kansas and Syracuse University, the competitors are schools or institutes devoted exclusively to instruction in art and design. All fifteen schools were selected for their leadership in the field. To place high among them consistently is a difficult task, one for which the Kanana wishes to extend congrat- relations, both to the students honored and to the members of the departmental faculty. IN APPRECIATION An appreciation of the altrature, generosity of Mrs. Salie Case Thayer in presenting the University with the Thayer art collection was excellently expressed by the speaker at the dedication of the collection. Dr. Alexander Trowbridge, speaking in connection with the dedication of the museum, said that "To the literal-minded the expression of art as a universal language is misleading for actual language is unnecessary when we gain emotional and spirit uplift in the presence of great art. One's effort to give artistic expression, one often experiences depain because execution always lags so far behind imagination. Yet one also find complete joy and absorption in his attempts, forgetting for a time that there is anything else in life. The greatest satisfaction will come in the consciousness that your efforts will show art relation to every life interest and that many lives will be broadened and enriched by this concentration of beautiful things which, separately, would ever be able to enjoy." These well-chosen words of Doctor Trowbridge express the great motivation factor that prompted Mrs. Thayer to build this aesthetic collection. The Thayer memorial collection is one of great diversity of beauty; one including rare specimen of period and national art. Mrs. Thayer has rendered a wonderful service to the University through her prescripted generosity and consistent devotion to an ideal. She had in mind for many years this contribution to the cultural development of the University and now through the availability of the museum the satisfaction of the aesthetic desires. THE NEW CREED Lawrence O Toole, of Chicago, the city of big winds and big crimes, has succeeded to bring environment and formulated a new and better philosophy for the determination of guilt. As an explanation for voting for the acquittal of five boy bandists he said, "This is a free country, and a man can go out and pull a stick-up if he can get away with it. No guy has the right to resist. That makes it self-defense for the stick-up man." What a convenient philosophy in O'Toole? How nicely is applied to the university student. A gay has a perfect right to crib if he wants to and can get away with it. I the instructor resists, why fire him. It's self-defense, isn't it? As a matter of honest fact, however, thinking people must accept O'Toole's reasoning as the logical result of his environment. What simple-minded person, upon seeing gangsters made objects of abulation, upon seeing their burial with pump and ceremony, would not decide that the gangster was the right minded person and that law-abiders and victims of gangsters were in the wrong? And, after all, many thousands of our population are simple-minded. Not feeble minded, necessarily, but simple in the true sense of the word. All of which constitutes a very good reason or either enforcing law which appear on the statute books or removing them. The Kansas has long been an advocate of the theory that the sidewalks of K. U. were made to be walked on, instead of the grass. It has remonstrated with carefree students who persisted in designing new paths for their convenience. REMOVE THE SIGNS Now, nothing more can be said about cherishing the natural beauty of the campus. There is no grass to protect. The dandelions have at last come into their own. All the "keep on the walk" signs should be removed promptly. And the stadiums hard should try trumpeting the flowers out. This is apparently the only way to get rid of them. If it is necessary, the walks may be taken up to force everyone to walk on the dandelions. Students of the I. O. T. C, are executed from all classes conflicting with the schedule of inspection beginning at 139 p. m. May 5, and ending in most cases by October 24, 2017.

"Two Thousand dollars. Found Hidden in an Accordion." Headline. We always knew these things; had come use in the world. If Wordworth could take a look at our campus this week he would probably withdraw his "Dandelion" poem from publication. It looks like another big year for the United States. Kissans with her wheat, and Babe Ruth still making home runs. "You, to make the world care for you," comes the raking cry for D. A. R. blackhiston, who are to have a banquet soon in celebration of their exalted position. Will the ladies "tumb that off." "Fier to Have Birthday," declares a headline, referring to Brenon Van Hoeweck, of Brennen flight fame. This is another field, it seems, in which famous men have no privilege of escape. Prohibition officials in Hutchinson issued a farm and captured a 300-barrel capacity still. A few hours later an armed gang attacked the guards, and made way with the still, and the truck on which it was being transported to the city, "Tape, you're it!" Charlie Semson's address on the Carper publications before the jerusalem chimes tomorrow afternoon will be followed by an old-fashioned barn dance by the students of the department—maintaining the agricultural motif rather neatly throughout the entire proceedings.—Lawrence Journal World. "Tag, you're it!" A "Blackhill party," composed of people whose names have been blacklisted as speakers by the Daughters of the American Revolution and the Key Men of America, is to be held in New York, May 9.

Shilton, presented last night in the Auditorium, sounded a kind of magic as he inspired music woven around a Carolian legend, which would send any audience away reassured from having heard it. Make an appointment now for that Mother's Day group. First come—first served. The Lawrence Choral Union composed the men's and women's choruses of 450 voices while 250 Lawrence children made up the children's chorus. The oratorio tells of a child who wandered away from her companions, becomes lost in a wood, and falls into the sea. The parish children sleep on peacefully. A parish comes near and wakes the child but a hand seems to be placed over her mouth so that she cannot speak. The guardian angel whom her Father has given charge over her. Later when her cartily father finds her he rejoices and realizes the power held within his child. The Minnesota Symphony Orchestra played the very beautiful accompaniment, Joanna Vreeland, soprano, sang the part of the lost of the child's mother; Eugene D. Fresnel, tenor, that of the guardian angel; Bernard Forges, baritone, that of the child's father; and the musician of the panther. The chorus, the chorus' choral and the children's chorus, gave the background of the story and increased the drama, amusing the maxes. The different choruses and solo parts were skillfully woven together and made a unified whole, dramatically effective and musically Prof. Charles S. Skilton, composer, received a twentieth-century逸从 theatre by the orchestra at part in the oratorio at the end of the performance.
