FAMOUS SCULPTOR IS CONVOCATION SPEAKER
Lorado Taft Says American Civilization Needs More Art and Sculpture
WILL TALK AGAINTONIGHT
Bust of Governor Robinson Fraser Chapel Was Made by Mr. Taft
"There is a big place in American civilization for art and sculpture, for art reaches a hand of gratitude to the past and a hand of welcome to the future. We are fortunate to have an American sculptor; in an address before convection this morning.
"Stadium Day" Gives Charlie Much Work Students Are Negligent In Paying First Pledges
"We are leaving little for others to enjage as life goes by, and unless we leave some record of beauty behind us we are little better than beasts. We are civilized and well contented, which is not always the best thing. Civilization means expression of emotion in fine arts, for art is a mark of progress which binds generations of men together.
"Why is it that Palestine and Greece, two very small countries, loom so big and high?" Because they cherished the ideals of beauty and left them behind."
Mr. Taft went on to point out that American life is so shifting that there can be no taking hold of roots, no perseverance, no strength of ideas unless the hundreds and thousands of small towns and communities in the United States take some means to preserve their spendid forgotten records of beauty and purity.
"Can you think of anything finer?" he asked, "than for every boy and girl to feel that they are stockholders in their community, that they have helped to make them a better youth and makes them for it is building up good citizenship." I smile our towns unless they are lovable or lovely."
In Fraser Hall there is a bust Charles Robinson, first Governor Kansas designed by Mr. Taft.
Mr. Taft will speak in Fraser Chapel tonight, under the auspices of Delta Phi Dein, honorary art sorority on the relation of art to everyday life.

at the meeting here on Stadium-Day,
and, according to Mr. Hill, all of them seemed to be very optimistic about the completion of the drive.
"The general opinion among the alumni," said Mr. Hill, "is that the campaign is now past the stage of 'should we have a memorial drive in the Kansas towns,' instead of debating the possibilities of having a campaign, they are now asking what is the purpose of conducting such a drive."
Among the speakers at the conference on Stadium Day, were Thornton Cook, J. C. Nichols, Irving Hill, and Danny Glover. All of them were very convincing, and, according to Mr. Hill, the alumni present were intensely interested in everything that was said.
