Riotous Brushes of K.U. Artists Produce Charming Effects On Display In Exhibit At East Ad
"What solidity?" "What color values?" "What form!" "What composition!" These and others are the remarks that will surprise themselves on your lips if you drop in on the exhibit of the work of last year's advanced students in the realm of the arena on third floor, East Administration.
While intended primarily for the instruction and study of this year's beginning classes, these oils, charcoals from real life, pen and ink studies, and designs cannot but be brought to anyone at all who cares for art.
The oils hung in Room 301 are especially attractive. This exhibit is dominated by two studies in still life from the brush of Katherine Larkin, fa23, who is a most sincere and painstaking workman. There is a solidly decorated desk, the jug, its attendant fruit, and the drapery behind that cannot be equalled by any other still life in the room. She is said to have spent weeks upon the reproduction of the gleaning, dark wood of the table, alone, but the effect she has at last succeeded in getting is most satisfactory. Miss Larkin has done an attractive cover and illumination for the Oread Magazine of last year.
In contrast to this solidity is the still life by Donald Abell, fa 23. Here there is color, a great deal of it, in lovely tones, and at first glance it may be thought to bring more pleasure to the beholder to the beholder than work but I have it will be found that Abell's work will not stand up under the constant viewing that proves the artistic merit of a piece. There is too little of interests in his picture beside the mere beauty of color. He is a careful work, using medium freely, but he does not surpass Mars Laskin in this respect.
Abell is shown to better advantage in an oil portrait called simply "Portrait of Mr. O'Brian." This is distinctly full of human interest, showcasing the beauty and work of a black work shirt. It has all the solidity and variety of interest that his still life lacks. This also has his virtue of good color value. Abell is best known among the students of the art school for his cartooning in the Sour Owl.
Isabel Schreiber, fa 24, in a still life of green bowl and fruit, has succeeded notably well in producing a flow of light over the bowl that is most convincing. This picture may represent a portrait of an Alberian in this
Second Of Series In Concert Course Here Next Monday
Another interesting group of studies are those done by the technic of commercial art classes, in which is taught the use of pen and ink, which is one of the most difficult mediums. The studies represent work done from photograph, pen and ink pictures, and real life. Most of it is done excellently. Lee Sorey, architect, has done some especially worth-while work in his own studio. Alamo, in four values, and also a wash drawing with pen and ink outlines from still life, done in three values.
Still another unique piece is a drawing of the entrance to Central Ad., by Leonard Sebring, a second-year student here, who has had ten or eleven years of commercial experience. This picture shows a practical application of the theory of color, that is, the use of primary and secondary colors in connection with their complementments. When the students worked out, but the whole is rather cold and calculated, and lacks artistry, though it is a good commercial work.
same room attracted my attention at once by its flush of color, and my interest was held by the striking shading done on the face. There is an interesting contrast between romantic dark face of the Algerian that caused me to tinger before it for some time. This portrait is by Roy Kilem, a special student of last year, who is now studying under the famous Robert T. Reid in Colleen's workshop of Miss Larkin and Abell, and slings his paint on in great, splashing chunks of color. This gives him, however, a power and ruggedness not to be found in the others. Two studies of an old man hanging nearby, from the same brush, reveal his facial features, and the same dashing strokes.
There are many other interesting features of the exhibit: free hand drawings from casts, five choice specimens of which have been framed and hung along the steps; photographs of imaginative work done in oil by Lena Rue Kirby, fa22, and Alegre Almonds from last year by Schreiber. Also, Hilary Allen man; bookplates, stencils and designs, textile patterns worked out on cloth, and tooled leather from the design classes.

Albert Spalding, World Famous American Violinist, to
Albert Spalding, world famous American violinist, will give the second number of the University Concert Course in Robinson Gymnasium next Monday evening, Nov. 13 at 8:20 o'clock.
From his first public appearance with Adeline Patti when he was eighteen your old, Mr. Spalding has been one of the most popular he has. He appears in nearly every musical center of the world, last year giving over one hundred concerts in England, France, Belgium, Holland, Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Finland.
H. T. Parker, commenting in the Boston Transcript, on Mr. Spalding' playing, says:

His tone is rich and luminous, edgeless and flowing warm and transmitting, sensitive always to the unexaggerated and uneasy the violin, to the contours and contents of the music it uttering."
Dean Butler says that over 1300 Season Ticket to the Concert Course have been sold. There are still some seats for sale. Single admission to Mr. Spalding's concert m.y. be obtained for $1.50.
R. H. Cloyd, Alumni Secretary of the University of Oklahoma, visited in Lawrence Saturday and Sunday. While he was in the city he discussed with Mr. Hill, Alumni Secretary here, plans which Oklahoma has for start-ups. He also taught Mr. Cloyd was formerly a member of the Oklahoma football team.
Meldon White, A. B.21, and Frank Goodnow, A. B.21, of Kansas City attended the game Saturday.

Valuable Books Given to Chemistry Library
istry Library
Original editions of the first periodical literature ever published on chemistry have been obtained for the chemistry library. There are sixty-two volumes in three sets, all of which contain information about range n dates from 1781 to 1783.
Amherst College has recently formulated a plan which offers to its alumna a means of systematically continuing, under the guidance of the college, studies begun during or undertaken since their undergraduate years. Unlike university extension work, the plan will not predemine topics of study in which alumni may be interested, but will serve to serve each alumnus in the field of his special interest.
Amherst Alumni Study Under College Guidance
Mr. and Mrs. Hillyard, of St.Joseph, Mo., Mrs. Wilson, of Independence, Mo., Mrs. Whyte, of Kansas City, Mo., Mr. Jennings, of Winfield, and Mr. Punton, of Kansas City were in Lawrence to see the game Saturday and while here visited at the Delta Tau house:
C. N. Midear, practicing physician of Kansas City, Kansas, spent Saturday and Sunday with his son bonald at the Alpha Kappa Lamda ouse. He attended the Oklahoma ame and the Dad's Day banquet.
Before this time almost all scientific literature was either written in book form or was to be found in the memoirs of past scientists. These quaint volumes, however, are valuable as the first periodical record of the progress of chemistry in Europe, written by scientists of that day. The three sets are: Chemische Annalen (1784-1808), Nouwen Eisenklinencollege (1836-1925), Neues Chemisches Archiv (1784-91). The books, which will soon be moved from Spooner to the chemistry library, were obtained from a book-seller in Paris. Their course from the German publishers to Paris is unknown except for two library stamps which appear on several volumes. One of these libraries was at a French artillery school. It is evident that the young artilleriesmen, possibly of Napoleonic days, were not deeply interested in chemistry, as the leaves of the books are still uncut.
Professor Hunter Speaks To Church Student Forum
Mr. and Mrs. R. J. Hallyard, of St. Joseph, Mo., were guests "Dad's Day" at the Delta Tau Dale house.
Prof. W. S. Hunter of the department of psychology spoke on the subject "Modern Faith Healers" at the student forum in the Unitarian华盛顿 was the healing power of faith induced through auto-suggestion.
Such books as Slosson's "Creative Chemistry," or "Wells" "Outline of History" are used. The plan is intended to help alumni find the book; to bring together those interested in the same subject and to offer expert help and information on puzzling problems. Students who enroll in the college will be placed at the service of its graduates in every possible way.
Kappa Sigma fraternity will entertain Saturday night at a Homecoming party.
Professor Hunter explained at some length the practical work carried on in this line by the French psychologist, Cone. A striking method employed successfully by Cue was that of having his patients repeat many times a formula, such as, "Every day in every way I grow better and better" thus inducing a new state of mind. The healing results which Professor Hunter discussed with concentrated attention, suggestion, and dissociation, and the physiological effects produced by emotions of fear and anger, were discussed by Professor Hunter. A general discussion followed the address.
Henry McCurdy, a former student at this University, has written the Alumni office telling about the Union building at the University of Michigan where he stayed while at Ann Arbor. Mr. McCurdy says in his book, "In the Keystone," that he will be as beneficial as that at Ann Arbor. Mr. McCurdy is traveling in the east central states for the MacMillan Company.
O.C. Girls Not Eager For Connubial Bliss
Young men contemplating matri-
mony—if the "other hall" of the question
is to be a young lady enrolled at
Okahoma State A. and M. College—
should take care to ask someone who
is between the ages of twenty-one and
twenty-three, as actual statistics
show that the majority of the girls
there believe those years are the
proner ones for marriage.
Of eighty-two girls who were asked the question "What do you think is the best age for a person to get married?" twenty-one of them answered that twenty-two was about the right time. Nineteen said that when a girl was twenty-one she had more men and become cynical, and yet would be old enough to know her own mind.
The third most popular age was twenty-three, eighteen girls believing that a woman should remain single until she could vote twice without the iron-clad advice from the masculine sex.

Several suggested that it might be wise to wait until the right sort of man presented himself. A few said that the best age was when one had a chance, and one young lady said, "I will go to marry?" Why that never comes!"

One girl said that twenty-six struck her about the right age as it would take her or at least that long to finish freshman chemistry! Another girl insisted that she was just beginning to have sense enough to know one man from another. Another young seventeen-year-old insisted that a girl should not marry until she was thirty and maybe not then.
