Splendid w eek
ATTENDANCE CONTINUES VERY
GOOD THRUoUT ENTIRE
SERIES.
THE sCHEURERTRIoAND "sWEET
LAVENDER" GREATLY EN-
JOYED.

Better attendance than last year
marked the sessions of University Week
and the interest continued undated in
spite of rainy, sultry weather. If any
thing, it may be said that the interest
increased steadily and every session was
well attended. 1t would seem, also in
reviewing the work, that the program
was better liked; at any rate it could
scarcely have been improved upon.
1T was found necessary Wednesday
70 change the program of the afternoon
and quite good many were disappointed
in not hearing Miss O'Connel read 'tPeg
O My Heart" A large audience was
present and those who were fortunate
enuf to be among the early arrivals
enjoyed a great treat. Vim. F. Benny
hpf showed fine collection OF Panama
Canal pictures as the second number on
the Wednesday program. Following his
lecture Miss Jane Webster Of the Mime
apoHs Woman's Club spoke on Child
Welfare. In the evening Ernest Harold
Baynes gave his most interesting talk on
wild Birds and How to Attract Them
and formed a Bird Club among the
young people for the promotion Of the
desire to protect the birds of the fields
and woods. Quite a number pledged
themselves to the work, which, without
any doubt will be its own sufficient
reward.
The business mems luncheon held
Thursday was attended by nearly eighty
OF the city's foremost business and pro-
fessional men, The Ladies Society Of
ne isiss Turnverein served TIE luncheon.
Prof. E. M. Morgan addressed the
gathering on Efficiency in Municipal
Government Later in the afternoon
Prof Morgan again spoke, this time
on "Woman's Rights Under the Mime
sofa Law" It would appear from Prof.
Morgan's expressions that he feels that a
woman has quite all the rights she
requires under the statutes of this state,
being, according to him, especially we'll
provided for in case she desires to get
divorce from husband who does not
prove to her liking.
''The Littlest Girl dramatic reading
by Miss Fife Nordgarden was most
pleasing diversion from the heavier
lectures of the afternoon which also in
cluded victrola recital by Prof. L. c.
Case. Prof. Case pointed out the evils
of, the popular music hall songs which
are the common music of the young
people of to day. The suggestiveness
of the words of many Of these songs is
truly disgusting and word on the
subject was needed here as well as in
every other place where muse makes its
appeal to the young.
DR.. Davies who had charge Of the
University Week here quite endeared
himself to the audiences. He speaks
German fuently and that, naturally,
made him one Of us, rather than a
stranger. His lecture on Kipling Thurs
day evening was proof Of his popularity
for the night was exceedingly stormy
and vet he had good house. And all
were we'll repaid for venturing out in the
rain and wind. He introduced his
listeners to man they had never well
understood before. Kipling has been
and is so different from other writers
that many have disliked his style and
tone but DR.. Davies was able to explain
away many things about the man and his
writings so that his peculiarities will
make the greatest poet Of the present
day the more admired and enjoyed.
Friday the first number was an
address to business men on Rural
Credit Legislation by Prof. ]. F. Eber-
sole. Miss Edna Fischer Of the Mankato
Normal was the only person on the
weeks program who was here last season
and her number was again work with the
tiny tots, especially helpful to mothers
and teachers. Mr.. Walton Pyre gave!
a program Of dramatic readings that held
his audience spellbound for more than
an hour. Mr.. Pyre is real artist and
his work has an unusual quality. He
was accompanied in the major reading,
king Robert Of. Sicily, by piano
accompanist who very skillfully brought
out the emotions expressed in the words
of the poet by the tones Of the piano, soft
and subdued at times, at times rising in
a wild passion Of resentment and dispair,
and again the sweet, calm accents OF the
Angel and the chant Of the priests.
