To Attract Oldest Alumnus And Former S.C* President
Two men who have watched the University of Southern California grow from a small school to its present position among leading universities of this country, will honor S. C. with their presence this morning in assembly.
The special guests on the platform * today will be E. N. Currier, the old-
est living alumnus, and Dr. Joseph P. Widney’, the third president of the university, from 1892 to 1895, and founder of the College of Medicine.
Many students who were here during the opening days of school this year probably noticed the greetings written in Spencerian hand on most of the blackboards. This is the work of Currier, the “grand old grad” from the class of ’85, who has gone through this ritual on every homecoming, graduation, and Christmas for the past 15 years. His devotion to his alma I mater was so great that he came I back to it in 1919 after he had retired from the ministry, to work about the campus as a carpenter.
Forred To Retire
Each month he turned his salary back to the school and just worked about the campus for the enjoyment of being near the place he holds closest to his heart. Recently the 85-year-old carpenter was /orced to relinquish his work on the campus because of ill-health and old age, but still last week he insisted on inscribing his greetings on the blackboards for the incoming students. In 1923 he established the Currier foundation endowment, subscribed to the alumni loyalty fund drive in 1936 for other members of his class, and has also aided the university in every way possible.
The other pioneer on the platform this morning who deserves special mention, Dr. Widney, is 95 years old and nearly blind. Still this aged former S. C. president is willing to suffer various discomforts in coming to the assembly, just to help the Trojans celebrate their I 56th anniversary.
Preaches Every Sunday
Despite his age. Doctor Widney is very active. He has published eight books and is working on two more at the present time. Philosophy, his favorite subject, furnishes the material for his books. Besides his writing, the aged doctor preaches every Sunday morning at the Beth-E1 church, which he erected and still supports, Acting as a chaplain in the Civil war. fighting Indians in 1882 in the West, and writing books at the present time, Doctor Widney’s entire life has been crammed with activity. Several of the best years of his life were devoted to S. C. and he still is a ready helper when his services are required.
Graduates Will Hear Hunt on ‘Organization’
For the purpose of 1936-37 organization, Dean Rockwell Hunt will preside over a meeting of all the graduate students to be held in 206 Administration building at 12:20 o’clock today.

S.C. Band Members Rehearse Tonight
Members of the Southern California Trojan football band will hold its mid-week practice session tonight at 7:30 in the Musical Organizations building, it was stated yesterday by Steb Griffith, band manager. This meeting also will be the last chance for any new men to join up with this Trojan musical unit, Griffith emphasized.
“Benefits derived from band participation are worthwhile," Griffith continued.

A turnout of over 175 played last Saturday in the Trojan band.
School of Music Adds to Faculty
Cianfoni Replaces Stewart As Conductor of S. C. Orchestral Group
Appointment by Dr Rufus B. von KleinSmid of two additional members to the faculty of the School of Music was announced yesterday by Max van Lewen Swarthout, director of the school.
“The appointments are important to the entire university, although relating specifically to the School of Music,” 8warthout said. D. C. Cianfoni will act as conductor of the university orchestra, and Ralph Peterson as director of the university mixed chorus.
Asked For Release
The orchestra for the past several years has been under the direction of Alexander Stewart, who this year asked for a release because of his appointment to the position of director of the Los Angeles district of the federal WPA music project.
Cianfoni has been known in southern California for several years, although his musical training Was ln Rome, Italy. For the past three years he has conducted the Los Angeles Women's Symphony orchestra and he had charge of the university orchestra during the recent summer session when he demonstrated his ability by presenting a concert five weeks after the organization of the group. Cianfoni recently completed a symphonic composition ln three movements which will be given public presentation in the near future.
Outstanding Director
Ralph Peterson is held by critics to be the outstanding choral director of the Southland, according to Swarthout. His present activities include the position of director of the Los Angeles Women's Lyric club, and director of the Los Angeles Junior College A Capella choir. He has also been asked by Conductor Otto Klemperer to take over the dl-| rection of the Philharmonic chorus j for the coming season.
| Tentative plans are now under j way for a concert featuring the j combined talents of the mixed choral groups under Peterson and the j A Capella choir directed by John ) Smallman.

Early Struggle, Rise to Fame Recounted
Wild mustard persisted along the sketchy horse-paih weaving out of Los Angeles toward a smartly-spired but otherwise unlinlshed building as a score of buggies and horsemen dawdled along it early one October morning. Up between the yellow rows came the entourage, little blurs trotting out of a smeary group of houses off to the northeast.
Reining up their horses, the drivers, all young men, clambered out of their conveyances, some holding an indefinite assortment of books, others fingering their derby hats. As if by common consent the knots of young men moved slowly through the dust, and into the building, which smelt sharply of newly cut wood and plaster.
Tbo University of Southern Cali-
fornia, instituted “for educational purposes," was thus officially opened.
Even this indefinite building program, being hammered into completion while the first students involved themselves in dialectics and the divinities, was the product of a decade’s planning, and was finally realized only through the zeal of Rev. John R. Tansey ana Will A. Knight, the benificence of Ozro W. Childs, John G. Dewey, and Isiah W. Heilman, and the incessant effort of the university's first president, Rev. Marlon M. Bovard.
Today, 56 years later, when 52 graduating classes and their 30,000 living alumni have spread the name of this ambitious university to the ends of the earth, faculty, students, and alumni unite to offer homage to its venturous founders and enterprising presidents.
Once established and fathered by the boom ln which It was born, the university expanded, establishing seminaries In San Fernando, a College of Agriculture, and a School of Fine Arts in Tulare.
