Ketcham Will Lecture on History and Making of Japanese Designs
Old Prints Are Exhibited
Original Japanese prints from 75 to 100 years old will be on exhibit in the department of design, room 310 Administration building, until Wednesday, July 15, according to plans made by Prof. Rosemary Ketcham, head of the department. These prints have very interesting and informative histories and afford a real study in old Japanese art as contrasted to the modern work which is influenced by Western ideas.
Miss Ketcham will deliver lectures to her 9 and 10:30 classes today on the prints and any visitors who care to develpe further an interest in these subjects are invited to attend. The class at 9 is in room 314. The discussion will cover the history and the method of printing the designs.
The exhibit is the property of Mr. H. C. Jeffrey, art collector, and were made under the direct supervision of the original artists. Some of them required from 25 to 50 separate wood blocks in the process of coloring. This old type of wood block has been revived recently, Miss Ketcham said, both in the Eastern countries and the United States.

Two Illustrated Lectures to Be Given by Rommert
Scientist Will Demonstrate New Microscopic Methods
Dr. George Rommert, of the Biologisches Laboratorium Munich, Germany, will give two illustrated lectures in the Little Theater in Fraser hall, on Monday. These lectures will be at 4 p.m. and at 8 p.m.
Doctor Rommert will present a new method by which an observer is enabled, without the aid of photographs or films, to look directly into the microscopic world. Doctor Rommert manipulates the microscope himself and at the same time demonstrates, by means of a specially constructed arrangement of mirror and prism, the processes that are taking place under the microscope. Thus the actual specimens of microorganisms are magnified and thrown upon the screen just as they would be seen by the individual observer at the microscope.
Doctor Rommert travels with a special portable laboratory. Experiments are performed on the interesting material which has been collected and prepared immediately preceding the demonstration.
In the course of his European tour, Doctor Rommert exhibited his technique before more than 2,000,000 spectators in Germany, Austria, Holland, Switzerland, Czechoslovakia, and Hungary. During his time he lectured in all German cities of 100,000 inhabitants and in 94 per cent. of all cities over 20,000 population.
Thieves visited the Triangle fraternity house, 1145 Indiana, Saturday night, taking two suits of clothes, a pair of shoes, and a fraternity pin, the total value of which was $90.
In America he has appeared before many important educational organizations. Doctor Rommert, himself an advocate of visual instruction, gave his illustrated lecture before the National Academy of Visual Instruction on Feb. 24, 1931, in Detroit, Mich.
The robbery was discovered by John Barnes and John Brandt who are staying in the house during the summer. Entrance was made through the front door. No clues as to the identity of the burglar have been found.
