Famous Paintings Now on Exhibition for Art Admirers
Works of Great Artists Loaned to University as Music Week Feature
The loan exhibition from the New
New York Metropolitan Museum of Art is
now on view in the galleries of the
University department of painting.
"This exhibition has been a very difficult matter for the department to arrange and negotiations were first opened to bring this collection of pictures to the University more than a year ago," said Albert Blech, head of the department of painting. "It was hard to find these pictures at the Federation of Arts that I found it possible to bring these pictures to the University, and it is very important that the exhibition falls concurrently with the annual University Music Week. This makes possible the offering of an especial feature attraction by the university, but at the same time that the great importance are offered by the music department.
"The range of pictures in this exhibition is very great," he stated, "There are moderns – or at least painters still living—as well as some others whose works hang among the old masters. Two of the most famous as well as the greatest of the British School of Painting of the 18th and early 19th centuries, Sir Thomas Lawrence and Sir Henry Raeburn are represented, each by a portrait. Sir Lawrence succeeded Sir John Aclair, who served to the King and for ten years was president of the Royal Academy. His portrait in the collection is of John Julius Angristin, an English merchant, philanthropist and art collector.
"Portrait of a man"
"A small picture Vaccelld. The Spin-
ner an artist. Broeklekam is of interest as being the work of one of the Dutch Little Masters. Broeklekam was a contemporary of Rembrandt's."
"Possibly the most interesting picture in the whole exhibition," went on Professor Bloch, "is the portrait of a Man' by Acet De Gleider. It is interesting not only for its own sake, but on account of the fact that it shows so obviously the direct influence of Rembrandt.

King Charles the First.
Another portrait, this one representing a young man, is also of great interest. It was painted by Janz van Mervelboe. Microviel was the fourteenth son of Charles and that flourished in Holland for several generations until the 18th century.
Unique Portrait by Terborch
"A self portrait by Gerard Terborch is unique in that no other self portrait of his is known. Terborch was one of the greatest of the Dutch Little Masters so much so that the intimate of treatment as well as on account of the unusually small size of their work.
"Dian De La Pau, who was a member of the great Barbizon School of Painting, whose leader was Jean Francois Millet, the painter of the 'Angelus' has'a composition 'Children and Lizard', in the collection
"Jean Leon Gerome, celebrated equally as a sculptor, and a contemporary of his, Jean Jacques Henner; Franz on Leibach, during his dime one year; and Anton Mauve, one of the best known landscape and animal painters of the modern Dutch School, all are represented in this collection. "Among the well known Americans represented are George L. Baughman, John F. McCarthy, Donoho, James Hamilton, Robert MacCameron and Leonard Ockham." "We feel that this exhibition offers a wonderful opportunity to art lovers," added Professor Blair, "and we will not hesitate to take advantage of it."
Schoewe Re-Elected Elder
W. H. Schoppe, associate professor of geology, was reelected a ruling elder of the First Presbyterian church of Lawrence at the annual meeting of the church last night. A. J. Gravens, instructor in journalism, was elected one of the church ushers, upon election among the elective offices. The church adopted a budget of $10,500 for the coming year.
During February and the first half of March, the rodent poison laboratory of the zoology department at the Kansas State Agricultural College sent out 5,383 quarta of pooled grain and 622 pounds of strychnine. This is equivalent to more than half a million bullets.
Polo Enthusiasts Make Plans to Defend Army Championship in Next National Tournament
Following its policy as one of the most ardent promoters of the game of polo, the United States army, with its Army General Command of Maj. Gen. Charles P. Sammerall, chief of staff, is working on its plans for participation in the national polo tournament.
Almost since the inception of the game in its present form, the army has looked upon polo not only as fine recreation, but as one of the best means for training the cavalry. A high type of horsemanship is required for the game, and a fine co-ordination of brain and muscle. Both ponies and players are chosen with great care to stand up under the lightning turns and twists of the content, and great demands made on their endurance.
Courage is one of the firstrequisites for a good polo player, and for a good polo pony. There must be no hesitation to plow into a tangledmass of players to get the ball, no fear of the opponent, and no thought of possible injury.
The requirements for a good polyp are so rigorous that only special strains of horse flesh have the stamina and intelligence necessary for the game. For many years, ponies have been used only in certain individuals of this special breed are good enough to be used. A horse, normally, places most of his weight on the front quarters, but for quick turning and balance in polio, he must have his carriage completely reconstructed and equipped with his weight on the hind quarters. The polyp mole must be taught fearlessness, and must learn to respond instantly and almost instinctively to the wives of the rider. It takes from eight years of careful training to fit a pony for his place on a poli team.
Poetry Judges Selected
Committee to Choose Poems for Pen and Scroll
Mies Helen R, Hoopes, chairman Mrs, May Ward, and Mr. Whithee Saunors have been selected as judges of the postic contribute submitted in the poetry contest and tryouts for the 2017 prize. We are more literary society. The indices of
the prose have been selected also, he, as yet Miss Alice Winston, chairman, has signified her acceptance. The poet, who was English, and Mr. Saunders last year tied for second place in the state poetry contest. Mrs. Ward has bad experience as editor of The Harp, a book written at Laurel, for the past two years.
C. A. Burton of Kansas City is giving a prize of $10.60 for the best poem and a prize of at least $25.00 is winnert the winnets of the prose contest, according to Miss Nellie Barnes instructor in English. Second and third places will be given honorable mention.
The minimum number of words for the prose is 4,000, whereas the poems are limited to 8 to 40 lines. All manuscripts must be turned in to the Pen and Scroll, by the evening of April 27.
A basketball game on roller skates was a feature of a recent pop meeting at Oregon Agricultural College.
Even more time is required to make a good player. The game is so strenuous, and fraught with so much danger to the inexperienced, not to speak of the accuracy and skill required by the game, that years must be spent in practice to develop stamina, resourcefulness, and courage. The game also requires the pain of formation, and are required to keep strict training.
The army next summer will defend the national polo titles which it now holds. The personnel of the team, and the ponies will be selected with great care, and no half-way measures are planned, according to General Summerall.
This year for the first time, the army team will compete in the open championship matches, the American senior tournament. The experience of the best players in America will be invaluable to the army in preparation for meeting the British team in the 1928 challenge tournament. The open championship meet will also give a chance for the army players and their respective merits.
The army now holds five national and international titles in pledge. They include the military champions of Great Britain and America, champions of the Hawaiian islands, the inter-event champions and the twelve-goal cham-
The central pool committee has adopted a policy of retaining a nucleus of experienced players each year, and selecting the remaining members of the pool, to replace the previous year. Some new players, therefore, will appear with the current this year. Practice for the team in this year will begin June 10 at Mitchell, Field, I, L.
