UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
THIS BARITONE MADE IN AMERICA
Cecil Fanning Who Sings Tues day Never Studied Abroad
The third concert of the University Concert Course will take place in Robinson Gymnasium, Tuesday evening, December 12, and will consist of a solo recital, a spoken tone, accompanied by H. B. Turpin, pianist. This concert will no doubt be one of the best of the course, accented by the singing work, and his super voice.
Mr. Fanning's worth as a singer is plumply shown in the fact that he has given as many as eight recitals in Boston in one season. This record was broken only when he appeared twelve times in Columbus, Ohio, within eight months. With the exception of this recent success, the lowest number of appearances in one town ever made by a single recital artist.
"Mr. Fanning is one of the best known American baritones," said Dean Harold Butler this morning. "His voice is an exceptionally fine, high baritone of beautiful quality, and his art as a singer makes him one of the most attractive artists on the concert stage. He is unique in that he can teach the Artist can teaching. While he has frequently appeared abroad in recitals, he has never studied anywhere but in America."
Mr. Fanning and Mr. Turpin have been together for ten years, and Mr. Fanning refuses to sing to the accompaniment of any other pianist. Their work together is considered almost ideal.
His program for Tuesday night is an especially attractive one, as it is made up of classic French opera airs, songs by the greatest German composers, some very taking French folk songs, a group of favorite American songs.
ERECT MEMORIAL TABLET
Memory of Professor Robinson Will Be Preserved
Plans are being made for the erection of a memorial tablet to the memory of David H. Robinson, professor of Latin and Greek in the University for twenty-five years. Eastern artists are at work on designs for a suitable tablet; probably based in Room 210, Fraser Hall, where Professor Robinson taught for twenty-five years.
Practically everyone took Greek and Latin twenty-five years ago so Professor Robinson came into contact with nearly every student in the class, and he loved by his students, who are now anxious to erect a worthy memorial to his memory. Two hundred dollars has been given without solicitation, and every student of Professor Robinson will be expected at conference committee hopes to have the tablet in place by commencement time. Members of the executive committee are: Mr. F. E. Riggs, Mr. Wilbert D. Ross, State superintendent of Public Instruction, Thomas Johnson, Thomson and Mr. Scott Hopkins.
Professor Robinson was one of the three men who opened the University in 1865. He wrote a history of the University. He died of typhoid in the summer of 1895, when on the point of leaving for the University of Colorado, to give a course of lectures in summer school.
PROFESSOR DOUTHIT IN
CHICAGO FOR Ph.D. DEGREE
Prof. and Mrs. Herman Douthitt left yesterday for Chicago, where Professor Douthitt will be examined today for his doctor's degree.
Mr. Douthitt received his training in vertebrate paleontology under Professor Williston, who is recognized as the world's authority on reptiles, both amphibians and birds. Williston was formerly connected with the University of Kansas as dean of the School of Medicine. He taught anatomy, histology, paleontology, and general zoology in the days when all the specimens were united in one department.

According to Professor Douthit, it is to Professor Willston that the University owes a museum of paleo-tenuity four equals in the United States.
Mr. and Mrs. Douthit will remain in Illinois until after Christmas.

LOAN FUND BOOSTED $116
BY DIRECTORY GIFTS
The student loan fund was booster$116 by nine o'clock this morning as a result of contributions from students, employees and faculty reterories. The contributions, which have been coming in all week, have ranged from five cents to five dollars. One merchant took this opportunity to pay five dollars paying five dollars for his directory.
The handy pocket size of the directories has received much favorable comment from the students although few of them carry the book around with them. The lack of a church directory, the list of officers of organizations and a few other details are lamented by a few.

Necessity Mothers Invention
THE USE OF BEETS for sugar making came about as the result of the stringency of cane sugar during the Franco-Prussian war. Thus the scarcity of one product mothered the invention of a substitute.
AND SO DOES NECESSITY work its phenomenon in the newspaper field. Fourteen years ago, the DAILY KANSAN was published only at weekly intervals, but as time went on the University enrollment became larger and happenings on Mount Oread more plentiful.
THE RESULT was the UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN as the school paper recording all of the news on the "hill" with timely promptness and accuracy. Are you a subscriber of the KANSAN? If not, phone K. U. "Double Six", and it will be delivered to your address from now on until June for $2.25.
