Library Exhibits Old Bookplates
"The Bookplate from Albrecht Duerer to Rockwell Kent," current exhibition at Watson library, features bookplates personally selected by Mrs. Benjamin P. Young of Hirsen, N.Y., from the large collection she plans to give the University. The exhibit is open to the public in the lobby of the library this month.
Included in the exhibit are works of artists who have created book-plates from the fifteenth to the twentieth century. Among items on display are rare woodcuts by Thomas Bewick, "restorer of the wood engraving art," reproductions of the folio-size Durer plates; signed impressions by W.F. Hopson, and an example of the work of George Eve.
Also shown is a volume from the library's rare book department, unusual because it contains a paper bookplate stamped in gold on the cover. This illustrates the use of an owner's personal device, which was common before wide acceptance of the separate bookplate.
Bookplates, primarily intended to denote ownership by individual or institutions, have come to have an intrinsic value, often quite apart from any books in which they may appear. Many leading artists, including Durer, Holbein, Bartolozzi, Bewick, and Hogarth, have seen fit to employ their efforts to this end. Amos Doolittle, Paul Revere, E. D. French, W. F. Hpson, Stephen L. Smith and Rockwell Kent are Americans of past and present who are especially noted for their book-plates.

and Ken. Soda live next door to
each other here but seldom mix.
They are only nodding acquaintances.
Roles Still Open For Theatre Play
Several male roles remain unfilled for the University Theatre production of "Antigone."
Students interested should see Charles Loyd Holt, director, in 202 Fraser before noon Saturday.
--brought here by the Union and the School of Education for an Art Education conference. Feb. 12-13, the illustrations were picked from many thousands which were drawn by schoolchildren from 45 countries. We were entered in an international competition sponsored by the International Union for Child Welfare. Each country held its own show—there were 200,000 submissions in Italy, 80,000 in Japan—and then sent its best 100 paintings to Copenhagen, where a large international show was held.
One hundred illustrations of ten of the best loved stories by Hans Christian Anderson will be exhibited in the Student Union Feb. 7-28.
Union to Show Children's Art
The illustrations contain the various interpretations of schoolchildren throughout the world of legends such as "The Little Match Girl," "Staunch Tn Soldier," and "The Emperor's New Clothes."
It is the significant samenesses and the diverting little differences that give this show its special interest. Together the children understood the loneliness of the cold wretched match girl on Christmas Eve—but 14-year-old Amira of Isreal has put her standing in cold snow, a refugee figure with enormous fear-ridden eyes, while for her Italian contemporary it is a moon-lit, starry night in a city of Byzantine richness.
Calvet Asks Divorce
Hollywood — (U.P.)—French actress Corinne Calvet had a divorce suit on file today that charged "extreme and habitual cruelty" against her husband, actor John Bromfield.
Miss Calvet said Bromfield's cruelty caused her "mental suffering, impairing her health, destroying her happiness and rendering her life miserable." The couple married in 1948 in Boulder City, Nev., and separated last Jan. 28.
University Adds 3 to Faculty
The University has announced the appointments of three new faculty members for the spring semester.
Telford V. Stradley of Algonquin, Ill., has been appointed instructor in civil engineering.
Mr. Stradley had three and a half years of experience with the Nebraska Highway department before receiving the B.S. degree in civil engineering from the University of Colorado last June. He since has been with the Illinois Highway department. He will teach full time.
Mrs. T. D. Prentice of Lawrence has been named instructor in Latin for the spring semester.
Prof. L, R Lind, department chairman, said Mrs. Prentice will substitute for Miss Mary Grant, associate professor, who will be on leave for advanced study in the Mediterranean sites of Greek and Roman civilization.
Mrs. Prentice, who was graduated from KU in 1913, formerly taught Latin at Lawrence high. She also taught at KU immediately after World War II.
Dr. Oswald C. Farquhar has been appointed as visiting assistant professor of geology.
Dr. Farquhar will teach courses in mineralogy and petrology. A graduate of Oxford university in England, he is a native of Scotland and for the past six years has been on the staff of the University of Aberdeen.
Dr. Raymond C. Moore, department chairman, explained that rear-arangement of the teaching staff in geology was necessitated by the absence of Prof. H. T. U. Smith. Dr. Smith will be on leave for research on sand dune formation in the Southern California desert and coastal areas. The Office of Naval Research has contracted with Dr. Smith for this work.
Shoemaker Gets Leave
Prof. William H. Shoemaker, chairman of the Romance Languages department, will be on a leave of absence next semester. He will be a visiting professor at UCLA where he will teach two graduate seminars in Spanish literature and one undergraduate course.
Cobalt is an important alloy in making heat-resistant steel essential to jet engines, gas turbines, turbosuperchargers and gun barrel linings.

Job Prospects Look Good For Most 1954 Graduates
Evanston, III.—(U.P.)-Job prospects continue bright for college graduates, according to Northwestern University's eighth annual nationwide employment survey.
Dr. Frank S. Endicott, Northwestern's placement director, said 216 large and medium-sized companies participating in the survey intend to hire 12,063 men from the 1954 graduating classes. These same firms hired 11,599 men from 1953 graduating classes. Endicott said.
The increase is mostly in engineering and other technical fields, he said. The only significant increase in demand for non-technical personnel was in the sales field.
"This suggests that there now is occurring that leveling-off in demand for non-technical men that was predicted in last year's survey," Endicott said.
But starting salaries for both groups still are climbing. The average for engineers will be $345 a month and for most non-technical men about $315. Last year the two groups started at $325 and $300 respectively.
The survey showed that college women will be recruited mostly for secretarial work and general training salary for those without technical training will be about $240 a month.
Women chemists and technicians will receive an average starting salary of about $310 a month, the survey showed.
Anything for Money
New Haven, Conn.—(U.P.)—Henry Sorenson, 70, was charged today with obtaining money under false pretenses after a 13-year-old store clerk cashed his "check."
Police said it wasn't a bad check. It just wasn't a check. It was an income tax withholding statement for $75.22, which Sorenson received from his employer. He said he thought it was a check.
