Dean Kent, delivering the main address, spoke of the rapid progress of the high school movement in the United States, calling the high school the "child of democracy." He prophesied that this would be so great that three years after children began to attend this high school building, it would not be large enough to accommodate its normal enrollment. Dean Kent was suicidal when he realized that when the agitation for the Memorial Building was first inaugurated.
Chancellor Lindley spoke briefly upon the significance of the occasion, addressing his remarks for the most part to the children who were present. "Yesterday," he said, "was Mother's Day, Today, Lawrence, the proud mother, celebrates her love for her children who will be the men and women of tomorrow."

Kirksille, Mo., May 16 (United Press)-Warmed to his task, Senator James A. Reed arrived here today, ready to begin the second week of his oratorical bombardment in his state-wide campaign to recapture the senatorial nomination at the August primary.

They will be offered through Professor J. Weber, who is at present connected with the local Education of the University of Kant.
The firm has already been super ving scholarships in three universities and Professor Weber has been supervying these. Next fall he will begin to devote his entire time to the research adviser, the work of the research events established by the subsidies in the various institutions.

K. U. ORCHESTRA PLANS TO GIVE BIG CONCERT
University Musicians Have Prepared Elaborate Program For Thursday
PIANO SOLO IS FEATURE
Solo Accompaniments Is New Work For University Orchestra
The University Orchestra under the directorship of Professor Edward F. Kurtz, will give its Spring Concert on Thursday evening, at 8:20 o'clock in Fraser Chapel. A thoroughly modern program, with the exception of the Old Overture, "Fingal's Cave" by Menzelcoshn, has been prepared.
Professor liff Garrison, of the piano faculty will be the soloist, playing the Second Concerto in G minor by Saint-Saens, accompanied by the orchestra. Furnishing the accompaniments for the soloist is a new feature installed by Professor Kurtz, and hereafter will be a regular part of the orchestral programs. This is an exacting task for any orchestra to accomplish, requiring an unusually greed of accurate and finished playme-
A Debussy Suite will take the place of a Symphony on the program. The Suite is a delightful piece of writing and represents Debussy at his best. The melodies are piquant and charming with characteristic harmonies. There are four movements: "En Bateau," a caricature of decided grace and beauty; "Cortegue," a marche of swaying rhythm; "Menuet," in which two distinct rhythms are combined together in a manner as masterful as it is charming; and the last a "Ballet," a spirted number with two contrasting themes.
Besides the Slite, a Alarm from an orchestral Suite, composed by Gustave Soderlund of the faculty, will have a Soderlund instrument. This is his number. It is masterly composition; the main theme is of a somber, northern character, the tior of a lighter勇 bouyant spirit. "Cortage de Dserdar" by Ipollout-Ivanoi, a modern Russian composer, will be played. The title gives the story of the march—a procession of the Hindu potentate, of "Sidar." The number is distinctly oriental in character, filled with the wild, half savage twists of melody and turns of rhythm handled as only a Russian could.
The program will be presented in the following order:
1 Overture "Fingal's Cave" ... Mendelssohn
o Concerto in G minor for Piano
o Stage
and Orchestra ... Saint-Saens

PREPARING TO BUILD NEW CAMPUS DRIVE
mons
Are Quarrying Rock for Koanway West of Com-
Preparations have been in progress for some time, and the paving of the church has begun. In the month, the secretary of John M. Shea, superintendent of buildings and grounds, said today. The road will run north and south over the campus, between Fowler Shops and the Commons. Some of the cement sidewalk will doubtless be to be taken up, the secretary said. Rock for the new university grounds, University grounds, and will be quarried and crushed on the premises. Operations are now in full swing on the west end of the campus, just south of University Heights, and north of the Engineering Building. Shovels, picks, and dynamite are all employed in preparing the limestone from the earth. A part of the rock quarried will be used in the chimney of the new power plant.
A row of stakes extending north and south just west of the Commons outlines the new road that is to be laid at once, connecting the "main flag" with the less used south road ordering the street car track.
Work was begun on May 4, according to A. A. Miller, in charge of the work under Shea. Eleven men are employed under him, and two teams are at work. An average of fifteen loads of the stone are quarried daily, and a slightly smaller amount crushed. From six to ten charges of amphitrite were used to powder Miller said. The excavation will extend north, along the campus, he said, and probably as far as the road line on the west.
The ledge into which the men are quarrying is about six feet under the surface, and extends downward eight or ten feet to a ledge of songstone beneath. Work may be continued all summer, Miller said.
NEW K. U. VIOLINIST TO PLAY
Waldo Geltch Appears In Concert Here Friday
Waldeh Goel, violinist, who is to join the faculty of the School of Fine Arts in September, 1922, will appear here in concert this Friday evening, in a session for years the professor of violat at the University of Wisconsin, has been on the concert stage for the past three years and while a member of the fine arts faculty will only teach half time; the other time being spent in concert.
Mr. Golch is an extraordinary artist; possessed of the gifts of both temperament and technique together with his remarkable personality which places him in the front rank of violinists, and he has taught both in America and abroad—his studies culminating in the studio of the Master of Masters, Leopold Auer, teacher of Elman and Heifetz. He has played all the important works for the violin with success and is one of the few American violinists who have been successful tremendously Concerto in F Sharp Minor by Wieniawiak.
The addition of such an artist and teacher as Waldo Geltch to the faculty, according to Dean Butler, should prove an added attraction to those worthy artists. The concert Friday evening will be in the Chapel of Fraser Hall at 8:20 o'clock and it is a rare opportunity for the people of Lawrence and the students of the university to hear a virtuoso violinist without charge.

Speakers Promise "Big Things"
For Convocation Tomor-
row, In Gym
Plans For New Administration in Student Government Will Be Outlined
Milton Cummings College, Stanley Learned, the School of Engineering, and Forrest Rodgers, the School of law, have been elected to state the opinions and grievances or their respective schools. They will be allowed a definite time of time to express themselves. Last year the College was allowed twelve minutes, the Engagement and the Deadline for eight minutes.
The annual Student Day Conven-
tion will be held in Robinson Gymnasium tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock. All arrangements necessary to carry out the program have been made by the student president of the Men's Student Council.
After the Student Convocation speakers have retired, the student council for the succeeding year will elect a new president, elected president of the Men's Student Council, and Orda Hardy, president of the Women's Student Government Association, will each speak for sev- eens hours planning their plans for the administration.
In closing the meeting Andy McDonald will tell something of his recent trip to the Mid-West Student Conference at Lexington, Ky.
The Student Day Conversation was started many years ago to allow the students an opportunity to express the accepted ideas concerning the faculty and programs that have been held yearly ever since, and the methods practiced by faculty members have been criticized by the "poor impersoned-" students just as the originate of the plan intended they should be. The personalities of *x* one of the professors also comes in for much matter not uttered upon by the various speakers.
Last year the Student Convocation was one of the most interesting and lively all-University assemblages of the year. Judging from the faculty attendance, they enjoyed it as much as the students. This year the speakers have promised another penny meeting, and have hinted that they have many surprises to spring on them. Professor L. U. K. that will call faith laughter and chagrin from the audience, "I'll be a hot球" they say, "and it will be a final opportunity to 'get back' at the sarcastic rulers of the class in 1922, besides hearing a wonderful demonstration of collegial laugurality."
