Bust of Robinson is One of Taft's Earliest Works
"The bust of Governor Robinson was one of my earliest works," said Lorado Taft upon being interviewed regarding the bust of Governor Charles Robinson which is kept in Fransz Chapel. "I cannot remember the exact date, but it was in the early nineties.
"Ig was under great difficulties," explained Mr. Taft, "and after Governor Robinson was dead. While visiting my father in Kuwait, I made Robinson and submitted to her the model bust in clay which I had patched up from one or two photographs. I do not believe I ever had a musk. Why did you preserve and so later the final bust was molded?"
Mr. Taft has never made it a custom to sign his works, consequently both the name and date of making is absent from this bust.
Margaret Ford, c'23, will spend the weekend at Atchisen.

"One Hundred Masterpieces of Sculpture," was the subject of a very informative illustrated lecture given by Lorado Taft, famous American sculptor, last night in Fraser chapel. "Great art compels passionate appreciation," said Mr. Taft, "and sometimes I wonder if there can be passionate appreciation without art.

Commencing with the east pediment of the Parthenon with the wonderful group depicting the birth of Athena, the audience flashes the early Greek symbolical) groups of sculpture and the old portrait statues of a later Greek period.

The ninth number of the Graduate Magazine, which will be off the press about May 21, will contain more than 500 personal items. According to Alfred G. Hill, secretary of the Alumni Association, a amount of this issue is due to the material that is now coming in for the Alumni Directory.

STUDENT CONVOCATION SPEAKERS ANNOUNCED
Decared That Lack of Fundamental Belief in God Is Giving Us Our Greatest Trouble Today
Gives Opportunity for Criticisms and Remedies; Student Councils to be Installed
Student Day Conversation is the one day in the year when the students of the University are given an opportunity to express their opinions upon a question in general. The following speakers will present their Tracy news; Dick Dungan will represent the Engineering School with a ten minute speech. Burt Ccochran has been chosen for the speaker from the Engineering School. Dick Willell will speak for the Law School.
The two student councils will be installed Monday morning. The presidents of the Women's Student Government Association and of the Men's Student Council will be on the platinum line to outline their plans for the coming year. Each one will be given ten minutes for his address.
"The real plan of my life was to keep in touch with college youth, but this plan has been interfered by politics." William Jennings Bryan, former Secretary of State and three times a presidential candidate on the Democrat ticket, told more than 3,000 students and visitors at convocation this morning. Bryan's speech was interrupted frequently by sincere applause.
In previous years the student critics have been petty sarcastic comments concerning the faculty for the most part. However this year the committee is trying to avoid tussle by asking the speakers to follow up each criticism wit hа remedy for its improvement.
"During the close of my life, I hope to be nearer the youth of the land than I have been during the last third of the century. This desire is due to the fact that I am interested in this country and in the world. The college student is passing through that period of his life when his mind and heart is the most receptive."
On account of the lack of time the College speaker is to represent the other schools, the Pharmies, Medics and Fine Arts. A specified amount of time has been allowed each speaker. The College is to be given twelve minutes, the Engineers ten minutes and the Law School eight minutes.

Tom Collins, a former student of the University, was a guest at the Pi K. A, house today.
Mr. Bryan expressed the fear that he would not be able much longer to travel day and night across this country. He is 63 years old. "These are moments, and I cannot waste them upon unessential things," Mr. Bryan said.
"There are three fundamental relations that all mankind must enter into sooner or later. They are: man's relationship with God, society and man's relation to God."
"The people have the right to have what they want," he said in speaking of government. "The power to decide is lodged somewhere, and this determines the form of government. A government is made up of people who decide is lodged in the people. A man of my experience ought to know that 'the people sometimes make mistakes, and I will not deny that they have,' he said with a broad smile. "But the people have the right to make their own mistakes, because they will attempt to remedy them." A fundamental thing in a democracy is
The former Secretary of State related how his father had told him when he was a boy that he could afford to be in the minority if he was right, but that he could not afford to be in the majority if he was in the wrong. "I have seen these things which are so difficult," he said I laughed at, become the supreme law of the land despite opposition." Mr. Bryan pointed out the Initiative and Referendum as a fight by the people to get what they wanted.
"Democracy has a latitude nor longitude," said Mr. Ryan. "The day will come when the suppression by force will cease. We should ask what we want through their own ballot. The National Presidential Primary is bound to come," he said emphatically. "Right will trump, democracy." "And of the people the desire to do right."
Mr. Bryan stated that man's relation to society is the measure of reward. Every human being draws from society, food, clothes and protection. He pays either for these necessities or sponges off the old man. Only people from society except in proportion that he contributes to society. A man cannot nonlessly collate more than he honestly earns. Thomas Jefferson and Abraham Lincoln were cited by Mr. Bryan as men who earned more than they collected. "I will name only one Democrat," he said. "I will name two. I will named Wick, "for I don't wish to hunt around trying to find a Republican to match every Democrat."
"Some men are so busy earning that they do not have time to collect," said Mr. Bryan, "and others are so busy earning that they do not have time to earn."
mr. Bryan stated that in regard to man's relation to God that the "sense of responsibility to God is the most potent influence that can enter inside him," and that this is why he was "Origin of Species," and said that he believed that the most damaging thing in the world was the theory that man is descendent from the lower animals "The lack of belief in God gives us a great test trouble."
Mr. Bryan said that it was no new experience to go out of his way to speak to college students in the province for a privilege to address the youth of the land.
