FAGE THREE
Kansas Symphony to Begin Oratorio Program Tonight
Tradition of Work Holds That Audience Stand During Singing of Chorus
The overture by the University symphony orchestra of more than fifty pieces will open the presentation of Handel's Messiah, given by the Lawrence Choral Union in connection with the Festival Robinson gymnasium at 8 tonight.
More than four hundred voices are participating in the chorus this year. Under the direction of D. M. Swarthrock, who directed the chorus, more than half of which is composed of University students, has worked for several months on the oratorio, together with Elgar's "King Oldf." to be presented Thursday.
Four Soloists Sing
The solosists for the program to night are Miss Irene Peabody, soprano; Mrs. Alice Moncrief, concerto; Mrs. John Carnell; and W. B. Downing, bowencer.
Choruses to Be Given
The Messiah was written by George Frederick Handel and was first performed at Covent Garden, London, in 1625 at his head. He danced during the singing of the "Halleljahjah" chorus and remained standing until it was finished. This custom is traditionally continued and observed in the country.
**Choruses to be Given**
The monarch chorus from the Messiah, "Isaiah, 'What Barn' the Barn," the hallelujah chorus, and the final amon chorus, will all be presented.
The churches are closing their evening services, and are asking their congregations to aid in this evening of religious music.

"King Olaf"A Challenge
Ostatiorio Centers Around Thor's Defiance and the Acceptance of It by the Ruler of Norway. To Be Song for First Time University by Lawrence Choral Union
The challenge by Thor to King Olaf of Norway is the theme of "King Olaf", the oratorio in ten episodes to be given for the first time at the University next Thursday evening by the Lawrence Choral Union, as part of the annual music week program.
A group of bards in Norway constitute themselves as representing Thor, the God of thunder in the Norse religion, and their challenge is hurled in defiance to the Christian religion. The bards relate the story of King Oliv's acceptance of the challenge of Thor and his adventures until death, when Saint John takes up the challenge.
Olaf returns to Norway as king from fugitive wanderings, and resolves to establish Christianity in the kingdom. He offers the religion of Christ to the people, and Ironbearn, in the name of the people refuses it. The king, bounded to the act by defiant words and anti-axe and shutters the image of Thor. In attempting to avert the destruction of the idol, Ironbearn is mortally wounded. The people are so impressed by the manifestation of Thor's impotence and the death of his champion, that they elect to embrace the new faith. Meekly surrendering themselves to this king, they show how before their king, who, with thrilling intensity, invokes upon his kneeling subjects the blessing of the King divine.
As a blood-atonement, Olaf weds Gudrun, daughter of Ironbeard. In armoving her father's death, Gudrun steals, on the bridal night, with dagger in hand, to where Olaf sleeps; but Olaf awakens and thwarts his design. He rids himself of the treachorous
Sigrid, queen of Sivithid, is wooed by Olfac. She consents to become his bride only on condition he swears his love, as Odin once wore a crown. He also declares that Sigrid expresses her contempt of the "Southland God" and protests her constancy to the "Norland God". King Ola's anger rises and he strikes her cheek with his gauntlet. He dips her fyffy vows vengeance on the retreating figure.
Olaf's warships meet the ship of the Dane's at sea. In a deadly combat, King Olaf is defeated.
Thyri, sister of Svend, the Danish king, flees from King Burialis of Wendland, to whom she has been betrothed for eight days. She comes to King Olaf's court, and Olfact eventually narrows her focus to her husbands' hands to King Burialis. She taunts Oldf into consenting to rescue her domains.
In the epilogue, Astrid, mother of Olaf, in the convent of Dronehlte, kneeling at mid-

DREAMERS OF DREAMS
We are all of us dreamers of dreams;
we ourselves, our children and so forth.
We are all by us, members of dreams,
On visions our childhood is feel;
And the heart of the child is unhaunted, it
seems.
By the ghosts of dreams that are dead.
r from childhood to youth's but a span
From childhood to youth's but a *spen*
*youngest sister*, the word is used.
Yet the word is no longer young, but a man,
and
Yet the youth is no longer a youth, but a man,
When the first of his dreams is dead.
When the first of his dreams is dead.
There's no sudder sight this side the grave
Than the shroud o'er a food dream spread,
and the heart should be stern and the eyes
To gaze on a dream that is dead.
'T is as a can of wormwood and gall
When the dream of a great梦 is in mind, and the best of a man is under the pull of a good force, it follows that
And the best of a man is under the pall
When the best of his dreams is dead.
He may live on by compact and plan
He made it by composing a song. When the family had lived in shed, But God pityed the little that's left of a man who had been a slave.
But God pity the little that's left of a man,
When the last of his dreams is dead.
Let his show a brave face if he can,
Let him woo fame or fortune instead,
Yet there's not much to do but bury a man
When the last of his dream is dead.
—William Herbert Carruth.
night, and listening to the voice of one speaking in the darkness without. The voice purposes to be that of Saint John taking up the deprived heart and the entreat of the departed spirit of Olaf.
The saga-men, echoing the words of the saint, signify the ultimate acceptance of the challenge of Thor, and the continuance of Olaf's mission, but this time, in the true sense, in the hands by the power of the Great Spirit Divine, which comes "near of a vulture, and as a dove."

Carruth Was True Kansan
Nationally Known Poet and Former Vice-Chancellor at K. U. Born in This State; Was Lover of Music and Flowers.
William Herbert Carruth, whose memorial poetry prize competition were announced recently in the Kansan, was graduated from the University of Kansas in 1880. Later Mr. Carruth studied the German language in Germany and other countries. He then returned and took work at Harvard University, where he received his Ph. D. degree.
He came to Kansas as professor of German directly after that and was for many years at K. U. during which time he occupied the office of vice-chancellor. From Kansas he was called to Lehigh Stanford university where he oeceived a Doctor of Education and was professor of comparative literature.
At the time Professor Carruth was at the University only three of the present buildings were standing-Fraser, Snow, and the Journalism building.
Professor Carruth was born in Osawatomi county, Kansas, in 1859. His parents were of English extraction and he possessed that New England consciousness common to a great many early Jayhawkers. One might say he was a New England idealist and he followed out his convictions of honesty and righteousness. One of the causes nearest his heart was the injustice of the prosecution in his support of prohibition. A great deal of his efforts in Kansas were spent to eradicate the saloon and that peculiar Anglo-Saxon disease called alcoholism.
Mr. Carruth was twice married. Two daughters were born to him. One of them is the wife of Professor Elmer McCollum of Johns Hopkins University.
While at the University, Professor Carruth interested himself in the problems of citizenship of the community. He was always at the poll at election time and took a prominent part in the political affairs of Lawrence. He was a member of the State Historical Society and of the local school board, which was one of his chief interests during his residence here.
It is hard to say what Professor Carruth's greatest achievement was, as he followed such a multitude of activities. But when asked one time why he did not devote his entire time to poetry and place himself among the great poets of his time, he answered, "I write poems." He published a large number of textbooks and edited and annotated many of the German classics.
Most of his poetic works possessed qualities of the New England poets. The poem for which he was most noted is "Sach In His Own Wife." Such a metaphor is indicative of his one great poem in the fact
