Art And History Produce Dividends
A life-long interest in art and history has paid dividends to Edward A. Maser, assistant professor of art history and director of the Museum of Art. The dividends are in the form of employment, opportunities to travel, and pleasure in appreciating fine things.
Prof. Maser joined the KU department of art history in 1953 after teaching act at Northwestern University, Evanston, Ill.
"I took art in school and was always interested in painting, history, and literature." he said. "When I went to college, I combined art with history and studied the history of art."
"Working at a university art museum, I can combine all these things, which is wonderful," he said.

During World War II he spent nine months in Italy.
Fulbright Scholarship
"Anybody in art history gets interested in art because of all the works of art there," he said.
1 After receiving his masters' degree in 1948 from the University of Chicago, he went to Frankfort am Main, Germany, as assistant to the director of the University of Chicago Project there. He then got a Fulbright scholarship and went to Florence, Italy for two and one-half years and did research on his Ph.D.
"I always lived with Italian families whose friendships I had made during the war." Prof. Maser said, "Florence has a very large English and American colony, but I got into Italian a lot

Plasma Research Contract Renewed
Dwight Mulford, professor of biochemistry, has been notified that his contract with the Army Medical Corps for research on blood plasma has been renewed for $8.525.
Dr. Mulford is working on the development of modified plasma that can be pasteurized to prevent transmission of the virus which causes jaundice. He began the research in 1952 with a grant from the U.S.Public Health Service.The Army took over sponsorship in 1954.
Edward H. Mealey, Dorchester, Mass. graduate student, is assisting with the research.
more than most of the Americans did. That is the only way to learn a language—go to a foreign country and live and speak with the people."
Union Plant Excellent He thinks that the Kansas Union's program of lending art to students is "excellent."
Union Plan 'Excellent'
"The SUA has always called me over to be adviser and friend of the program," he said. "It is obvious from the number of works of art loaned that if students are given the opportunity, they will come and enjoy it.
Among Prof. Maser's pet peeves are people who don't like what they aren't familiar with.
"This is a human characteristic," Prof. Maser said. "For instance, people not familiar with art think that it's not good. One of the advantages of a college education is that one can develop habits which last through a lifetime, such as enjoying a picture on the wall, going to the theatre, or listening to music.
"A museum of art is important in anyone's education," Prof. Maser said. "As far as the KU Museum of Art is concerned, we are going to continue all the things that we have been doing, integrating the museum into the fabric of KU life more and more, and trying to provide experience which the student will realize as outstanding points in his college career."
Two To Give Papers At Science Academy
Two KU freshmen will present papers before the Kansas Academy of Science at its annual meeting Friday in Ottawa.
Donald Detmer, Great Bend, has completed his paper in the honors zoology class. Detmer's paper concerns the splitting of the tender antennae on the lips of the fish.

The class of 1958 won't feel as though it is graduating into a heartless, jobless world this spring, but they may have to look around before they find the "dream" job with money, security, and a chance to advance.
'Dream Jobs' Hard To Find
Job prospects for the student in the top half of his class are good, according to several national reports released in the last month.
The reports indicate that the students who haven't done so well scholastically will have to work at finding a position.
The national trends are reflected on the campus by the School of Engineering, Dean John S. McNown said recently.
Students are getting fewer job offers when compared to previous graduates who received from 10 to 15 offers each. But most of them are getting several, he said.
Salaries offered graduates are up from last year. The national average starting salary then was $411 a month. Now it is $430.
