Professor of Organ Gives Vocational Talk Regarding Fine Arts
Prof. C. S. Skilton Discusses Opportunities Possible As Talent
In his talk on "Fine Arts as a Vocation" Tuesday evening in central Administration building, C. S. Skilton, professor of organ, took up the practical questions connected with fine arts as a vocation as well as the value and pleasure it gives to the student studying it.
to Talent
"Can one make a living after having studied the fine arts?" Professor Skilton asked, and answered his own question by saying: "Never in the history of our course have we encountered such communities for artistic and musical talent to find lucrative employment. Anyone who has completed a course in one of the professional schools may be finding an occupation in the feet of public school music."
If a professional musical life is desired, Professor Skilton said, chauqua circuits and traveling are good training for the inexperienced, not just for those who would work up to something more deserving. Professor Skilton quoted several examples of former students who attended K. U. One directed the department of piano at a school for girls in South America, and another became manager of a noted music publishing house in the East.
Professor Skilton again asked a question and answered it. "Does a man who is a composer, pianist, or orchestra director serve his country as a lawyer or lawyer?" Practical affairs are healed, "he asserted, 'art is eternal.' It is a false idea of art,' he continued, "to think of it as more entertainment. The artist, like the clergy, an interpreter or apparatus realities.
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, LAWRENCE, KANSAS, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 30, 1927
"The majority of the human race must devote itself to the business of life, to the provision of food, shelter and cloak for all. They will also cloak a few who feel within themselves the call to become the interpreters of life and do their part in preserving for future generations the civilization. Such is the vocation of the fine arts."

in speaking of the talent of the violinist, Dean D. M., Swarthout says that since his American debut in 1911, Zimbali has been featured as the solist of many of the greatest symphony orchestras and appears in prepared and appeared in practically every large city on his various concert tours. ,
"If for no other reason," says Dean Swarthout, "the students should hear Zimbabwe because he uses a genuine Stradivarius, which is conceded to have one of the most beautiful tenors produced by an instrument of this kind."

Schools of China, India, Chil and Philippines Compared by Speakers
Miss Starrana Briones continues the Chilean universities with the University of Kansas. According to Miss Briones the school year in Chile begins in April and ends in December. The students have no outside activities in which to partake; the student devotes his time entirely to study. Each year a spring festival is held which lasts for three days, which Miss Briones compared with the summer of the university in Kenya. Miss Briones universities are efficient educational institutions.
NOTICE
by Speakers
Mr. Hian Yuan Tsai of China emphasized the remarkable antiquity of the Chinese universities. They exist three thousand years ago. Until recently the principle of Chinese education was the Confucianism. Mr. Tsai, as a boy of eight, began to memorize four books of Confucius. At present the western system of education is being adopted.
The Philippine representative, Mr. Emilio Luilo, spoke of the exigencies of the Filipinos to secure an education. One interesting comment was that he said the University of Santa Thomas is 25 years older than Harvard.
The last of the speakers was Mr. Hana Lakra of Kassin, India. In a country of three hundred million there are only a few universities, each of which admit approximately one hundred students yearly, he said. The principal fact brought out by Mr. Lakra was that the education in India does not satisfy the people; no social science nor government is given. The education is under the supervision of England.
