Madame Else Harthan-Arundi, who will sing the soprano role, recently sang the same role with the Swedish Choral Union of Chicago. Miss Mina Hager, centrato solista, re-created a number of popular countries. She has appeared as solista with the leading choral unions of the middle west.
The Requiem differs from the Messiah in that instead of the great amount of solo work alone, the solos are often given a great extent independent of the background of the chorus, and the orchestra. It is full of passages where the solos are in combination with trios, tris, and full quartet form.
"While the Messiah is better known and more loved by the majority of the people, we want to make sure that the people of Lawrence and of the University will fully appreciate the Premium" and Dean Swarthout.

Professor Lawson Leads Discussion on Class Problems
College System of Teaching Criticised by Students in Open Forum Speeches
"While our present system is not he best, are you getting the most out of it?" asked Prof. F. B. Lawson, assistant dean of college, in his talk o the K. U. Forum Wednesday afternoon. "Unless you are willing to go into the spirit of the class, personal experience, all if you can from our present system cf classes you cannot say much grainst it."
Doctor Lawson gave figures showing that enrollment at the University and tripped in the last 20 years. "It is a real problem to handle such a large number of students teaching staff and physical equipment," said Doctor Lawson. "We have instructors for about every 13 students while some eastern institutions aim at, and often actually have, teachers for every five students."
Lecture System Necessary
The large class with its lecture method of instruction is as long at the University of Kansas as long at the University of Texas, the number of students enrolling and no greater appropriations are made by the legislature for salaries, according to Doctor Lawson.
Lecture System Necessary
Doctor Lawson expressed his belief that the average K. U. student does not get from his instructors what they are willing to give in way of personal help, instruction and council.
Students Do Not Fit In
Doctor Lawson quoted Professor
Johnson that 40 out of every
100 students enrolling in Minnesota graduated from the enrollment could be cut down profitably 20 per cent by more rigid selection. The needs of many students could be met without the usual four-year course leading up to graduation, all of special courses he also thought.
Following Doctor Lawson's remarks the Forum discussed ways of getting the most out of the present system of big classes and how the system might be changed to provide instruction in small groups.

Grapeshot and Button Are Relics of Old Days
Was it, perhaps, one of the survivors of the Quarril disaster who will attend the remission in the Administration building next Friday, who lost from his Federal uniform the face of a blood-stained neck nearly a piece of grapephot when the ground was excavated for the new Avaria tennis courts?
The grapehot, which is about six inches in circumference, **14**, coated heavily with rust. The angle and the weight of the grapehot den by the curvature of the brass.
The tennis courts, which are about half a block from the crest of the hill, are used for practice and the site of the fort. The graphethot, used at that time as annuum for cannon, may have been fired in defiance of the city or in practice by King
