The composition "Requiem," by Verdi, the greater part of which was written while he was on his tour, was first produced at his寡嫂s.
The work divides itself into seven divisions, the first of which is "the Introit," moving without a break into the "Krye Eleison." In this section the chorus has considerable singing by itself, and with the soloists. There is also some unaccompanied choral work.
.
One of the outstanding chixmas occurs in the second division, the 'Dies Irae' or the "Day of Wrath." The full, heavy brass of the trumets, the trombones and the bass and kettle drums rises in the great sail and of terror as the chorus sings concerning the final judgment day. The tumult dies, and the solo part is filled with melodious outcry during the harsh ash of the opening chorus. Among these is the famous "Lachymony" or chorus if weeping with the solosis and chorus united.
The third section is entirely for solists. "Dominie Jeanne." This section is followed by the most spectacular chorus in the entire work, in which the chorus was videodated into two great choirs in the "Sanctus" or "Holy, Holy" chorus which after the shout of "Sanctus" by the chorus moves into the inspirational and lively second section, devoted along folgua lines for eight parts.
The fifth section, the "Lux Acternum" is again for only solistia. The sixth section is the tender and appalling "Argus Del" or "Lamb of God," in which the text material is first sing by the solo parts and then the chorus. It is a meditative orchestra in a background of variations among the various instruments.
The final section is the "Libera Me" or "O Lord Deliver Me." The section opens by the chant from the sonata solo part echoed softly by the chorus.

Hindenburg Chosen German President by Large Majority
Nationalists Are Pledged to Retain Entire Cabinet of Ex-Chancellor Jethon
United Press
Berlin, April 27—Von Hindenburg once again the lieutenant of the German people, will take the oath of office to the presidency in the Reichstag Thursday or Friday after the official results of the election and complied. The Nationalists, who drew the field marshal from retirement at the age of 78 to become their successful candidate for the presidency, informed the United Press today that they intend to persecute Chancellor Lothar to remain intact.
The Communists, who in a certain measure contributed to Vind Hindenburg's victory by throwing more than 20,000 prisoners into their candidate, Thraeumann, began a movement for factory agitation this morning, urging a general strike; protestation against Vind Hindenburg. The court appended was abortive.
Election Causes Agitation
The election of the field marshal causes a national republican headquarters, supporting an Chancellor Marx. In some circles, fear was expressed that it might beginning of the end of the empire.
The announcement made by the Nationalists that they would not seek to use the election results to tamper with the present ministry is of paraparadoxical interest, substantially that the empire block the union of parties of the right, which supported Hindenburg, and to try to maintain the hitherto observed foreign policy—fulfillment of their obligations under the Davies plan.
Hindenburg Announcea Plans
Von Hindenburg in an interview with the United Press, recently revealed that he forewarned the possible necessity of altering the plan. The field marshal also indicated his desire for a satisfactory pact with the United States army into the League of Nations or an equal plane with the Allies.
The victorious Nationalists will undoubtedly seek to bring about internal changes, however, seeing a chance to alter wages and working conditions and to introduce taxes favorable to the middle class of nationalists, since these are the classes which the new German president represents.
Riots in Berlin
Election rowdyism in Berlin was unassured. The Faseisti, supporting Von Hindenburg, utilized a new trick around the polling place, strewn salt and pepper in their opponents' eyes and then belaboring them with beer bottles. Two persons were killed in a clash near Karbruhe between Republicists and the police, probably fatally wounded in a fight in a Berlin suburb. Sectional clashes occurred in all parts of the country.
The religious issue played a part in Hindenburg election. Many voted against Marx because he is a Catholic, while many Catholics voted against him because he was allied with the Socialists. Germany is strongly Protestant, wherefore Marx was handicapped from the start.
Special California Issue of Magazine Mailed Today
It will be seen that outside of Bavaria Hindenburg ran behind Marx in the cities. He drew his main strength from the farming districts. Late last night there was a particularly severe outburst of revolver fighting between "reischambanmäran" and "fatherland" organizations in the countryside, wounded are in the hospitals, but most of the cases are not serious.
Fred Ellsworth, alumni secretary announced this morning that the California number of the Graduate Mag vine was being mailed out today.
The number for April is larger than usual, containing 47 pages, 27 of which deal with news about K. U. graduates in California.
Other special sectional names will follow in later issues, including such divisional as a New York number, a city number, and a foreign number.

Improvements Suggested
Prof. A. B. Richardson Criticizes Modern Colleges
Twenty-six points for the improvement of the modern college and university have been submitted by Prof. C. E. Krohn, a member of A Study of the Liberal College".
The book was written after his examinations of the curricula of various American and British universities, made at the request of Ernest M. Hopkins, president of Dartmouth College.
The ideal of the liberal college, Professor Richardson believes, should be to stimulate and develop the student's interest and become a better companion to himself through life. and a more efficient force in his contact with his fellow
In this ideal he thinks the schools fail because the scholarly life is not made attractive enough. He criticizes the overorganization of our colleges where activities, athletics, and fraternities monopolize the time, interest and enthusiasm of the students.
Professor Richardson not only criticizes, but he suggests in his 29 points, means of improvement, and of overcoming these obstacles. He advocates fewer requisites, and a major planned as a coherent whole. He would argue that the student should adapt to his adaptability as soon as possible, rather than having a smattering of knowledge in several different fields.
"more discussion and fewer courses," in a keynote he stresses in methods of study. He also approves the use of formal tests on the true and false type, and a comprehensive final at the end of a course in which the student must make his own research and apply the knowledge he has gained in the

Walker Writes Article
Commerce-Engineering Courses Discussed by Dean
P. F. Walker, dew of the Schof
g of Engineering, at the University,
is the author of an article in the ecom-
onics and business number of Me
tchnology and Science published
by the McGraw-Hill Boo
Company of New York.
Dean Walker's article discusses the combining of an engineering and business course for the engineering student who purposes to become an industrial executive and the giving of engineering training to students. It suggests to enter an industry where process problems call for engineering knowledge.
"One excursion into the field of technical education takes the form of a combination of basic engineering subjects and standard economic courses," says Dean Walker, "with very little of the applicatory subjects and problems in either field. Undoubtedly there is a place for it. It is good educationally, and is an excellent preparation for business in some lines, provided men of the right characteristics follow it."
Dean Walker believes that the ideal solution has not been found, and is doubtful that it will be found. It cannot be found in a mixed course, he says, in which neither engineer or student is given development to the extent necessary to enable the student t) meet his competitor on even terms.
