IMPROVING

N i g h t Rehearsals For
"Mikado" Next Week
"All the efforts, talents, and powers of
the Department of Music will be directed
toward one goal and attainment this

year," Professor Lampert says, "all the
ability of the 'Mikado' talent, orchestra,
chorus, and principals, all the accomplishments of the band, will be corroborated in one great effort to create and
a College of Music at the University of Kentucky next year."
The purpose of such a College would
be to make it possible to instill a deeper
appreciation and love for music, a better knowledge of the music masters in
the hearts and minds of Kentucky school
children by sending them well trained,
efficient public school music supervisors.
As it now is, it is almost a physical impossibility to keep up the subjects which
are required in order to graduate and to
have the necessary time for a musical
training which would enable one to follow music as a profession. If one attains
the highest success in music he is necessarily associated with people of refinement, culture, and education and would
find that a musical training alone can
not contract for the lack of a literary
training. He would find it impossible to
enjoy and appreciate his professional
associates, there are a great many people hoping with Professor Lampert toj
see, some day, a College of Music added
to the University, which can offer a
course with music, arts, and sciences
proportioned to meet the demands of,
those who would like to follow music as!
n profession.
Professor Lampert hopes to have the
"Mikado" well under way real soon.
Night rehearsals will begin next week
and will be held on Tuesday and Friday
nights and from then on according to
necessity. The production is moving
along very satisfactorily and it jj
thought the chorus, and orchestra will
be a great deal better and stronger than
last year in "Robin Hood." Professor
Lampert thinks the interest on the
campus is very much stronger and more
encouraging than last year.
The band is working on a series of
new marches, among them the familiar
"Stars and Stripes Forever." Professor
Lampert said that during the S. A. T. C.
the band undertook to learn this march
but vas unable until thit year. The band
played it very well in rehearsal. He
thinks this shows a marked improvement.
"Maybe as Centre gained fame through
Foot-balKentucky will gain it through
music, who knows?" Professor Lampert

WORLD'S GREATEST
BARITONE MONDAY
Titta

and Other Artists
Appear at Woodland

Ruffo

Will

The world's greatest baritone (of tho
Metropolitan Opera Company) will bo
heard in concert at Woodland Auditorium
Monday night, November 7. He will bo
assisted by Rudolph Bochco, Russian
violinist and Sol Albcrti, accompanist.
When war was declared between Italy
and Germany, Ruffo was singing in Buenos Aires for one of tho largest fees
known to the history of grand opera, he
cancelled the rest of his engagement immediately, returned to Italy by tho first
Reamer and enlisted in the
service. From the day of his enlistment
until the signing of the Armistice Ruffo
did not utter a single note professionally,
giving himself entirely to the discipline
of the army and using his voice in leisure
moments only for the enjoyment of his
fellow soldiers. After a brief period of
reconstruction employed chiefly in the
fresh polishing of physical and technical
details, ho emerged not only with his
brilliant assets unimpaired, but with n
distinct mellowing of his interpretative
command and deepening of his spiritual

Rudolph Bochco, violinist, who will
assist Titta Ruffo in his concert here
is a gifted and sincere addition to the
ranks of the younger violinist. He plays
with simplicity and directness with a
free bow and finger technique well advanced. He will play a group of solos
for the Ruffo concert and will be cordially welcomed by an audience always ready
to greet cordially a violinist of good
quality.
The Titta Ruffo seat sale should be the
largest of the concert series not only
because he is the greatest male singer of
his day but because more has been invested in his concert than any other of
the season. Unless there is a dicided increase in attendance over the first two
audiences Ruffo will sing here at a financial loss to the promoters of the season
and encouragement for future concerts
will be decidedly less. Tickets arc now
on sale at the Lexington College of
and the downtown seat sale
Music, 639-will begin at the Artist Concert booth
in the lobby of the Ben All theatre
November 4. The third of the Artist
Concert series tickets may be used.

SOPHS HEAR OWENS

"The New University Spirit"
Subject of Talk to
Sophomores
The first regular Chapel service for
sophomores was held this morning and
the principal address was given by Rev.
Ralph

Owens.Assistant Pastor

of the

Second Presbyterian Church and formerly Director of the Y. M. C. A. on the
University campus. Doctor McVey lead
the convocation which was opened with
vocal Quartet rendered by Misses
Hyde and Lyons, and Messrs. Adams and
Decoursey.
Rev. Owens took for his subject "The
New University Spirit." In his opening
remarks he expressed his appreciation
and love of Kentucky and her students
and then he told of some of the impressions he has gained from his three years
of service here. Rev. Owens spoke particularly of the spirit here as it exists
now. He attributes it to many condias
tions, to the spirit of
everybody on the campus is beginning to
feel, students and faculty alike, and
largely to the great leader we have in Dr.
McVey.
The speaker congratulated the University on the new spirit in athletics and
said that he attributed it very largely
Circle
to the untiring efforts of Su-K- y
rn they have worked with Student Council. He hopes very sincerely for the continuance of this gentlemanly sportsmanship and believes it will help greatly to
raise the standing of our school through-

out the state.

CONFERENCE OF DEANS

him.

i

Rev. Owens snys one of the greatent
things he gained in college was the inspiration from the chapel exercises, from
listening to great speakers, men who
have succeeded, and so he urged attendance at Chapel.
Re". Owens encouraged the spirit of
spmyathy, tho art of being able to se
another's viewpoint, of putting yourself
in his place. Out of this develops friendship for which every human soul feel
the need. During college days lasting
friendships nrn formed. The best way to
have a friend is to be one and that ii
one of the noblest things in life, so form
new friendships but be careful to keep
tho old ones which are tried and true
Having friends leads us into the spiric
of service and that is perhaps the great
est need of tho world today. We find
now more than ever before service in
righteousness, that is, the Golden Rule
is being applied in the business of everyday life. Now is the time to begin
service in our own everyday life here
on the campus. In college do tho thing
worth while and remember that, "ho who
serves most serves, serves best."
In closing Rev. Owens said, "My best
wish for tho students at tho University
of Kentucky in that they bo a friend of
man and mako our University stand out
throughout tho wholo land by fostering
that spirit ever in the hearts of U. K.
students so that those who come after ua
will have a still better chance and op
portunlty for a life of glorious ,ervIce."
