Centennial plans-
(Continued from page 1) Three days later, the Cleveland Symphony will present a concert.
Carry Nation, saloon smasher and prohibitionist, is the subject of the opera. It depicts her life before she left Medicine Lodge in western Kansas to startle the nation as a formidable apostle of temperance and help clamp Prohibition on the nation.
Annual KU musical events coincide with the centennial. The University Chorus and Orchestra will perform April 23. The Symposium of Contemporary American Music, May 2-4, includes performances by the Kansas City Philharmonic Orchestra.
Educators, intellectual leaders, and theologians in addition to musical artists observe KU's centennial.
The musical high note of the centennial season is the world premiere April 28 of the opera "Portrait of Carry" by Pulitzer Prize-winning composer Douglas Moore.
DR. MOORE, former head of the music department of Columbia University, was invited to compose the opera to commemorate the centennial. This semester he is composer in residence at KU as a 1965-66 Rose Morgan Visiting Professor.
Metropolitan Opera and New York City Opera artists sing the four leading roles. KU's Robert Baustian and Lewin Goff conduct and assist in production staging.
A colorful centennial convocation in full academic regalia April 11 launches the four-day Inter-Century Seminar on Man and the Future. International leaders in a variety of fields have been invited to probe the possibilities of the next 100 years.
DURING THE seminar, world leaders in science, letters, the arts, and the professions will join in a series of lectures and
discussions on the challenge of the future. They will bring diverse backgrounds and points of view on the critical issues facing mankind in the century ahead.
Central issues have been identified seminar-man in a mass culture, his place in the world community, and his realization of human potentials through freedom of the mind and the design of higher education.
Each leader will submit a major paper in which he projects his vision of the future—significant problems, issues, opportunities, or recommendations. These papers, to be read by the authors in public convocations during the seminar, will be published as a centennial volume.
Scheduled to give major presentations are Dr. Philip H. Abelson, head of the Geophysical Laboratory of the Carnegie Institute of Washington; and Dr. Karl Menninger, chief of staff of The Menninger Foundation in Topeka.
Announced seminar leaders include retired U.S. Supreme Court Justice Charles Whittaker; noted author, anthropologist and educator Dr. Loren Eiseley, and former U.S. Information Agency director and Eisenhower aide Dr. Arthur Lawson.
FUTURISTIC THINKING in building will be supplied by R. Buckminster Fuller, "the first poet of technology." He is best known for his mid-century breakthrough termed the "geodesic dome."
Two educators who led KU for two decades and who have distinguished themselves at other universities will return for the seminar. They are former Chan-

celliers Deane W. Malott and Franklin D. Murphy.
Dr. Malott, chancellor from 1939 until 1951 and retired president of Cornell University, will address the opening session of the seminar. Dr. Murphy succeeded Malott at KU and became chancellor of UCLA in 1960. He will give the closing address, focusing on the role of the state university in the next 100 years.
Theologians will explore the new mood of cooperation in American religion at the Ecumenical Institute May 1-3.
The purpose of the institute is to clarify thought about the ecumenical movement and to consider the most recent developments, such as the Vatican Council.
Dr. Joseph Sittler, Father Dan O'Hanlan and Rabbi Marc Tenenbaum, who attended the recent
Ecumentical Council at the Vatican, will direct discussion.
NUMEROUS theological scholars from the region will attend. Study groups will consider how the new mood of cooperation is related to such topics as marriage and the family, the doctrine of authority, religious liberty and social action.
