Norwegian Books on Display
Norwegian books produced in the last eight years, chosen as the most beautiful by Norwegians, will be displayed through Nov. 28 in Watson library's main hall show cases. Phillip Mitchell, professor of Scandinavian languages, will arrange the display.
A pamphlet accompanying and further explaining the exhibit states that formerly only well known Norwegian artists were requested
Topics of some of the books will include fiction ("Gay Stories" by Honore de Balzac), trades ("Norwegian Peasant Art" by Halfdan Arneberg), history ("Land and Literature" by Halliburgh Middeltun, Norwegian Sculptor, 1820-1886" by Henning Gran).
The books were chosen on their basis of design, technical makeup, and materials, and of being able to exhibit typically Norwegian, and well made up books. It was required that the work, but not necessarily the contents, be entirely Norwegian and original.
to make illustrations for books intended to be judged.
Because of intricate processes used for reproduction and printing of the original sketch, standard illustrations were not acquired. The display shows the improved result
when the illustrators and craftsmen concerned with book production are familiar with the technical requirements necessary to achieve the best possible graphic result.
The pamphlet also says that an average Norwegian novel is about 200 to 250 pages in length and sells approximately 3,000 copies. The publishing industry in Norway is concentrated in the four largest cities—Oslo, Bergen, Trondheim, and Stavanger.

WHO ARE
INDUSTRY'S
TOP
YOUNG
SCIENTISTS?
Ten men between the ages of 26 and 40 were featured in a recent national magazine article which presented a portrait of the young scientist in America today. These particular men are a sample of the most brilliant young scientific minds in industry.
It's interesting to note that three of the ten are with Bell Telephone Laboratories, three with General Electric and one each with four other companies.
The variety of opportunity in research and other phases of telephone work has always attracted an unusually high percentage of the nation's best young men.
Consult your Placement Officer about opportunities with Bell Laboratories . . also with the Bell Telephone Companies, Western Electric and Sandia Corporation. Your Placement Officer will be glad to give you details.
