GREAT PLAYERS
MAY FESTIVAL WILL HAVE TWO NOTED VIOLINISTS.
Czerwonky from Europe and Hartman from New York Will Play Both Solo and Concert Music.
One of the most noted men who comes for the May music festival is Richard Czerwonky one of the leading orchestral violinists of this country and concert manager of the Boston Symphony Orchestra, the finest in the world. Mr. Czerwonky comes from Europe where he received the greater part of his musical education. It is there that he is best known, having played not only in the best orchestras but also having done solo work. He has received two famous prizes for composition work one of them being the Mendelssohn in Berlin. While here he will play both orchestral and solo compositions. Another leading violinist of this country, who will be here at the same time, is Professor Hartman.
It was announced this morning that students of the University who wish to obtain tickets for the May festival for their out of town friends should call at the Registrar's office or the check stand as soon as possible. More student tickets are now in circulation in the University than ever before for the annual festival.
Spoke at Y. M. C. A. Meeting.
Professor F. E. Ward, superintendent of Fowler Shops spoke at Y.M.C.A.meeting Thursday evening upon the value of good influence quietly exerted among men as seen by him in his work in the steel works of Joliet, Ill. and later for the Corliss engine manufacturing company. In comparison with men who are mere parasites or even those who see little in life but the daily wage Professor Ward contrasted the men in all branches of work who seek to win others to righteousness by their own example and influence.
Change in Debating Team.
Clinton Kanaga has withdrawn from the Sophomore debating team and Moe Friedman, of the Law school, has been selected to take his place. The annual talkfest with the Freshmen will take place on Friday night, May 8. Both teams are composed of experienced debaters and a good contest is expected.
EXPERIMENTS WITH TREES.
Two Varieties of Walnut Trees Tested by Botany Department.
The Botany department is making some interesting experiments with two hybrid walnut trees that have been secured from Burbank species. The two specimens are yearling crosses between the California and the common black walnut, and the English walnut with the common black.
These new varieties grow four times as fast as the old stock, giving merchantable lumber in ten years and trees one hundred feet tall in fifteen years. It has been demonstrated that the lumber is equally fine grained and yields the same polish.
The experiments at present are to see if the hybrids can stand Kansas winters. If they survive, a movement will be begun immediately to have the trees planted all over the State. The common black walnut thrives especially well in eastern Kansas, and the new species is expected to do as well.
Honorable Mention Given.
Heim Goldman and LeRoy Cannon, both members of the senior law class, received honorable mention for the papers they wrote competing for a prize of fifty dollars offered by the Lake Mohonk Conference on International Arbitration for the best essay on "International Arbitration." The prize was awarded to a Johns Hopkins man.
