EGYPTIAN ART UTILITARIAN
From the Boston Transcript.
Neglected Asthetic Side of Sculpture and Drawings Scholar Finds
in inspecting the specimens of sculpture and painting presented in the remains of ancient Egypt, one of the most significant defects to be found generally alike in the design and the execution, and these are the more surprising, when they seem to have confessedly high merit, as exhibiting practised artistic skill. It is observable also that these better specimens are delineations of some things other than the human figure," writes Francis Lister Hawkins, in his "Egypt and Its Mountains," which is found in the purpose of the Egyptians, which was not, as with the Greeks, to "speak through the eye of the imagination," but rather to tell, or relate something, and quotes. Clemon wrote that an Egyptian temple was a writing, and grace was not the prime object of the manuscript."
Meant to Convey Facts "The painting and sculpture of
Egypt, he proceeds, "were meant, then, simply to convey facts, or what it was intended should be considered facts. The characters by which they sought to do it were visible and often rude imitations of sensible objects; the heavenly bodies, men, brutes, birds, fishes, dress, furniture. In fulfilling these important to convey the idea correctly and avoid mistakes, than it was to produce a finished work of art. Hence the representation of the human figure seldom affords proof of elaboration in its execution; a very rude sketch was sufficient to show that nothing but a man could be meant by it; construct the face and loosely put in proportion in a body is represented with its full front; proportion also is sometimes utterly neglected.
In fact the rough drawing served but to spell the word man, while the hieroglyphics abbreviated them, who or what the man was. But in the very same picture, perhaps, containing a rough sketch of the human figure, represented, drawn with great spirit, and colored with a minute attention to nature.
"Accuracy of delineation was resorted to when such accuracy was necessary to guard against mistakes, and it was therefore required to show the species of the bird so represented. All that the artist sought to work in doing this he could call in the aid of hieroglyphics, both symbolic and phonetic. It was perhaps strange that he did not think of using either painting or hieroglyphics separately to accommodate his purpose, but doing both, he could effect his purposes and he consequently made no effort at improvement."

The Y. W. C. A. house party at Vanetta Hosford's home lasting from Friday until Sunday was a decided success according to everyone who attended.

A good commentary on the March weather of the past few weeks was noticed in the snow storm Wednesday morning; a robin, with a straw in her mouth, was noticed sitting in a tree. Her eyes were closed as she in a bewildered manner, as if wondering whether old Mother Instinct had had given her a bum steer.

AMERICAN OLYMPICS A FIZZLE
Coach Stagg, Says Games in U. S.
Would be National, Only
To hold the Olympic games in Chicago in 1916 would be absurd, according to the statement of Director Stagge, of the University of Chicago, who said that the city of this proposition, which is being supported by prominent coaches and Chicago newspapers. Stagge predicted that, under the existing conditions in Europe and in all the warring nations, the games would be a total failure.
"The Olympic games," said Stagg, "if staged here in 1916, would amount to a national contest. Probably even Canada would not enter a delegation. I am in favor of them in this country as possible; however, I believe that the Olympic games, if held here next year, would prove a fizzle."

The old Dutch Windmill stood on the hill west of Lawrence near the home of ex-governor W. R. Stubbs. It was a favorite destination for walking parties of students until it was destroyed by fire several years ago.
