New Era At Art Museum With Arrival Of Dr. Maxon
Things have changed at the Spooner Museum of Art since Dr. John Maxon took over as director. The arrival of the new director, a former resident of Lawrence, heralded a new era at the museum.
The upstairs galleries have been refinished, paintings have been reframed, and show cases have been rearranged in such a manner as to display all of the art to its best advantage.
Dr. Maxon, who received his doctorate in 1948 and his master's degree three years earlier at Harvard, is now busy cataloging the Korean pottery, the Italian crib figures, and the coptic tapestries of the museum. In addition to his duties as director of the museum, the doctor is an assistant professor in the School of Fine Arts, the School of Engineering, and the College.
tury Italian painter. He also used the man, whose real name is Jacopa Robusti, as the subject of one of his poses.
Dr. Maxon's main interest is the high-renaissance painting of Venice and Italy. At present he is writing a book on Tintettero, the 16th cen-
Another of Dr. Maxon's interests lies in the field of Indian-Budd-hist sculpture, but unfortunately there are no examples of this type in the museum here.
As though he weren't busy enough, Professor Maxon is writing another book on the early works of El Greco, the Greek painter. He says his writing probably will not conform to the conventional opinion of the ex-patriated Greek, for the doctor feels that El Greco is highly-overrated.
Dr. Maxon is a native of Utah. He attended high school and art school in the New York city area. Later he entered the University of Michigan. During the war Mr. Maxon worked for the Sperry Gyrroscope company
A special course, Great Art, will be offered by the University this spring, with Dr. Maxon teaching.
The quiz grades were being read by Eugene Schooler, instructor of economics, in an Economics I class. The grades ranged from 40 to 95. Members of the class were startled by one grade of 102.
It Ain't Easy Bub,
It Ain't Easy!
"How can you get a grade of 102?" one student asked after the grades had been read.
From the back of the room came a voice, dripping with bitterness.
"It ain't easy, brother. It ain't easy!"
Paint Company Executives To Address Chem Club
John W. Clark, vice-president of the Cook Paint and Varnish company, will give the second in a series of lectures on "Opportunities in the Fields of Chemistry" to the University chemistry club at 4 p.m. tomorrow in 305 Bailey.
Richard G. Alsup, graduate student, will be companion speaker. All undergraduate students interested in chemistry are invited to attend.
Law School Hears Lillard
Thomas M. Lillard, president of the Kansas Bar association, told law students and faculty members Dec. 10, that a lawyer is primarily an author, speaker, and printer.
"A lawyer puts ideas over as an author, so he must become expert in this line." Mr. Lillard said. "The logical building up of reason upon reason is essential if the lawyer is to convince a jury."
He explained that simplicity and clarity are of greatest importance in building up a plausible case in law. These can be learned in formal literary training or by studying the style of the Bible, reading works by Shakespeare, and biographies of Abraham Lincoln, Alexander Hamilton, and Thomas Jefferson.
"The Bible is still one of our best examples of simple language, short sentences, and paucity of words," Mr. Lillard said.
Applied social science
1. Customers
2. Employes
3. Stockholders
IT TAKES big companies to turn out and service equipment like this. At International Harvester we have the idea that when a company grows beyond a certain size, it becomes a social as well as business institution. And that as a social institution it has certain well-defined responsibilities.
At International Harvester we believe that our business should be run not for any one of these groups alone, but for all of them together . . . customer, employee, and stockholder.
So we like to think that this picture is an illustration of applied social science. The employees built the truck, but it would not have been built if the customers had not wanted to buy it, nor would it have been built if the stockholders had not furnished Harvester with the necessary capital.
For our employees, this policy means providing well-paid jobs to the largest number of men and women who can
be productively employed. Today we have more than 90,000 employes.Before the war we had 60,000.The average straight-time hourly earnings of our factory employees have increased $92.6\%$ since 1941.
For our customers, it means producing the best possible goods and services at the lowest possible cost. Our margin of profit on sales today is one-third less than in 1941.
For our stockholders, it means a fair return for the savings they have invested in our Company. Dividends on common stock in 1947 were equivalent to $5\%$ on the book value, as compared with $4 \%$ in 1941.
We know it is our continuing ability to earn a reasonable profit that has made it possible for International Harvester, again in this past year, to serve more people-customers, employes, and stockholders in greater measure than ever before.
The Company as a whole had profits, after taxes, in 1947, of $ \frac{5}{2} $ cents from each dollar of sales. We believe most people regard this as a reasonable rate of profit.
Profits mean progress for everyone.
We hope to be able to continue to make a reasonable profit with each succeeding year in the future.
