Rive King, but came to St. Paul from Wichita, Kan. Miss Lennon
sang Thursday morning at Ford's hall before a number of St. Paul
musicians, and made a very favorable impression. She possesses a
full, rich contralto voice, of good range and pleasing quality. She
has an excellent presence and sings with great ease and consider
able dramatic style. Thursday morning she was heard in a number
of German folk songs as well as selections from Italian opera, all of
which were interpreted in a manner displayingexcellent technique."
Pershing Lieutenant J. J. Pershing's connection with the Uni
versity of Nebraska will come to an end at the close of the present
term. His original detail was for two years, and at the expiration
of this time at the urgent request of Chancellor Canfield, and others,
ho was given another year. He will soon have served three years
and under the rules a change is imperative. Unless he is assigned
to some special detached duty he will join his regiment, the Tenth
Cavalry, now stationed in Montana, in September. The position of
military instructor at the university is considered a desirable post,
and there will doubtless be a number of applicants for Lieutenant
Pershing's place. Lientenant T. W. Griffith, who was Pershing's
predecessor and who is now in Texas, is spoken of in connection
with thiB appointment. The departure of Lieutenant Pershing
will be attended with much genuine regret. He has rendered
unvaryingly faithful service and has made the battalion, or the mili
tary department, an important factor at the university. He enjoys
the respect and cordial friendship of the students and faculty, and
all will be sorry to see him go. Pershing is sans some of the frills
that often dangle from the modern military officer, and he is all the
more efficient and manly. He has given his whole time to his duties
since his residence in Lincoln, giving instruction in the regular
course at the university in addition to his regular duties.
