SOURCE OF GRATIFICATION.
Tho successful trip through the western part of the State from which
tho University Glee iClub has just returned, marks one of tho significant
forward steps which the University of Kentucky is making this year despite hindrances in the way of lack of funds and adequate equipment. The
men who made tho trip and Professor Lampert, who directed .them, are
being roundly congratulated on the fortunate result of the undertaking.
Seven of the principal towns of tho western part of the State were visited
and full houses were present for every program. In several places people
were turned away on account of insufficient capacity.
The welcome and support which the Glee iClub found on Its short tour
wore a gratifying indication of both the appreciation of music which exists
among the people in Kentucky, and the interest which they feel in the
University musicians. Music is a universal language and appeals alike to
tho wise and to the simple. The fact that the expedition was so successful should bring new impetus to the efforts of tho University to foster it.
It would not be too much to say that the benefits of this trip to tho
University cannot be measured in dollars and cents. It should promote a
spirit of finer comradeship between, the people of the Commonwealth and
the students of the University. (Contact with people outside the walls of
the University hitherto has come largely through athletic contests held in
other towns. These are limited in number, and involve also the additional
factor of hostility incidental to rivalry. The enmity which formerly existed between the University and Transylvania and which the Kernel takes
this opportunity to deprecate, owed itself to athletic competition between
the two schools. The same reprehensible spirit crops out sometimes in our
relations with the neighboring college at Danville when these worthy rivals have "rubbed it in" a little after the phenomenal success which they
have enjoyed for several years.
But the relations which the love of music engenders, are essentially
friendly. There is mutual pleasure to both tho performers and the audience. No envy or rivalry comes into the equation at all. The unusual
success which the Glee Club had on the trip speaks for itself. Its emissaries of good will to the "folks back home" and the return to the University, both in these emphasized friendly relations and in actual benefits derived, will amply repay the University for all the money, time, and energy
expended.
But tho work of the Department of Music does not stop with one successful Glee Club trip. Professor Lampert, head of tho Department of
Music, has plans that are too
in their scope for their usefulness to be estimated as yet. To mention only a few, we might name first,
the trip which the University band made this time last week to give a
concert before tho Kentucky Legislature.
The operetta, "The Feast of the Little Lanterns," soon to be given by
the girls' Glee Club, is another outstanding event in tho annual program
of the Music Department.
Sunday orchestra concerts given in the chapel of the
The
University, open to the public, free of admission, have done much to accentuate interest in music. Here the people of Lexington hear the best
of modern music, both popular and classical, rendered worthily by competently trained and directed musicians. This is an opportunity of which all
University students should avail themselves. The purpose of attendance
at a university is not simply to acquire knowledge of certain facts, and
ability to make a living. The student should also learn tho fine art of
human intercourse, tho various refinements of life which make the present day hurly-burllivable and place some of tho keener and finer pleas-ure- s
of living within tho reach of those who seek relief from the customary
exactions of the daily grind.
Tho Kernel hopes to see the day not far removed when the Department
of Music shall bo what its field lends itself so happily to, the loftier refinements that flow from this noble art.
