Swarthout Led KU Music Week to a Community Program
Dean D. M. Swarthout of the KU fine arts school began as dean in 1923 promising to boost choral interest at KU and Lawrence and to enrich campus music. By 1925 he helped establish annual music weeks with Messiah performances, civic group participation, a festival operetta, a piano concert by Rudolph Ganz, and a long-running series of fine arts events, banquet, and the young arts program.
