Museum Prints, Too
By Karen Lambert
An art museum is many things----a building with walls to display printings on; a cultural center where people may see and appreciate the genius of men who can paint, or sculpture, or blow glass or create fine jewelry; a temple erected to display man's achievements.
At KU, the art museum is also a small-scale publishing firm, issuing periodicals, exhibition catalogues, guidebooks and picture postcards in living color.
ROSEMARY MARZOLF, assistant professor of art history and publications editor, explained that most art museums publish catalogues, magazines or guidebooks. She explained that museum publications accomplish several aims.
"We can inform the general public about our museum, but perhaps the most valuable side of museum publications is the opportunity to exchange them with galleries all over the world," she said.
"You see, art historians are constantly searching to establish proper chronology of an artist's work. They may be searching for a painting they heard of 20 years ago and haven't seen since. A catalogue or magazine may have a picture of the painting, with full information about it. The historian sees it and his search is ended."
PROF. MARZOLF edits "The Register," a semi-annual magazine devoted to scholarly articles on art; exhibition catalogues, and miscellaneous publications which the museum decides to issue. These include as a catalogue dealing with the medieval collection in the gallery.
"The Register" is issued in the spring and fall. It contains illustrated articles dealing with painting, sculpture, prints, ceramics and other collections in the museum, Prof. Marzolf said.
Contributors to the magazine include KU faculty members, graduate students and experts at other colleges and museums, she said.

Retired Justice Writes for Review
An article by a former justice of the U.S. Supreme Court and a discussion of hearsay evidence by a former dean of the School of Law appear in the current issue of the KU Law Review.
Justice Charles E. Whittaker, now retired, of Kansas City, Mo., wrote "Advocacy—Advance or Adieu?" for the Review. Justice Whittaker discusses whether advocacy is declining. Advocacy's principle purpose is to attempt to state facts clearly and fairly in court.
Former Dean M. C. Slough reviewed an area of the new Kansas Code of Civil Procedure dealing with hearsay evidence. His article is titled "Some Eviidentiary Aspects of the Kansas Code of Civil Procedure."
William B. Harvey, professor of law at the University of Michigan, has studied governmental institutions and law in Africa, with an emphasis on Ghana. His contribution is entitled "African Law and Basic Institutions."
A 1964 graduate of the KU School of Law, Benjamin C. Langel, wrote an article he calls "The Taxation of Items of Gross Income Received by Estates of Decedents." Langel is now practicing law in Wichita.
Russia Protests UN Dues Report
UNITED NATIONS, N.Y.—(UPI) —The Soviet Union today protested strongly against a report by Secretary General Thant that showed the Soviets and other Communist states in arrears in their U. N. dues.
The protest, sent to Thant today by Soviet Ambassador Nikolai T. Fedorenko, accused Thant of backing the position of the United States in the U. N. financial dispute.
stitute, founded the magazine in 1951. He chose "The Register" as the title because he wanted to register with the public details about the museum and its collections, Prof. Marzolf explained.
SINCE 1951, the publication has grown from an eight page pamphlet to a 64 page magazine, Prof. Marzolf said.
There are 1400 subscribers to "The Register," including KU staff and faculty members and museums and libraries around the world, Prof. Marzolf said. In return for a world-wide subscription list, the museum here receives art magazines from around the world on an exchange basis.
Prof. Marzolf has just completed arrangements to reissue Volume I of "The Register" in response to demands for reprints. It will appear as a paper-bound book priced at $3.
"The Register" is on sale at the art museum, along with catalogues, guidebooks and post cards.
Editing "The Register" is only one of Prof. Marzolf's jobs. She
also plans layouts for the exhibition catalogues and miscellaneous publications.
NOW SHE IS proofreading copy for a catalogue about the glass exhibition which opens Feb. 14 at the museum.
The University Press prints all of the museum publications and the photographic service handles illustrations. Prof. Marzolf also uses pictures provided by international archives in Barcelona, Spain and Florence, Italy.
Before receiving her degrees in art history, Prof. Marzolf worked in the publishing field as an editor. She explained that her previous experience made her the candidate for the job when Marilyn Stokstad, professor of art history and director of the museum, relinguished her duties as publications editor.
Prof. Marzolf also teaches in the art history department.
"Half of me belongs to the art history department and half of me belongs to the museum," she summed up.
