ON INSPIRATION
The Nebraskan clipped not long ago
an editorial from Collier's Weekly
containing advice to the young man
who would make good in the field of
Journalism. The notable part about
this advice was the tribute it paid
to the Inspiration the writer received
from his professors at college. One
old fellow in particular we remember
whose attraction lay not in hi3 knowl
edge of trigonometry but in the stim
ulatlng influence of his association.
Such examples are known to all of
us; they are the common heritage of
all men. Just as the schoolboy is
fired by the romantic story of Wash
ington, so the college man' finds in
the course of his four years one man
who stirs In his heart ambitions and
awakens possibilities heretofore un
known
branch of learning, but usually he is
a bigger man In his knowledge of
life. He forms the Ideal of educa
tion to the youthful mind; he Is
knowledge personified. Like Cole

THREE PICTURES BY
Criticised
JONAS LIE
by Nebraska
Students
Winter Afternoon
A picture that Is good in composi
tion and pleasing in color is only
beautiful to me If It brings a mes
sage. In order to convey a message the
artist must choose his subject care
fully and present it so that it will
delight our eyes. However, the sub
Ject matters not so much as the man
ner of presentation.
"Winter Afternoon." by Jonas Lie
is so presented that when one glances
at it, the Impression Is of intense cold
The glinting ice and the blue snow
tell us that there Is an atmosphere
which will pierce your very bones.
The manner of presentation Is very
realistic. But if one goes no farther
than the foreground of the ricture the
message will be last.
In the background there are fir
trees, golden-brown under the rays
of the late sun, and the bright sky,
and the sun-touched snow, all giving
promise of future warmth and life.
In spite of the fact that it is now
so cold, we are assured that the time
will come, us it always has come be
fore, when the sun will give us new
life, and renewed hope.
The message that Jonas Lie brings
to me la "Winter Afternoon" is the
promise of better things, warmth,
life again in nature, and a Joy that
we all feel with the spring. The pic
ture is satisfying for It promises men
something better, for which all men
hope. E. M.

it did not seem beautiful to me but I
could not keep from looking at it and
I kept going back to it after I left

pictured is beautiful, but for what it
represents the idea or spirit of it.
The face cannot be seen unless you
stand close to the painting. Then one

The technique of the artist is Rood.
He has succeeded in portraying the
mood of nature and the effect it has
on the woman. The approaching
storm is shown by the clouds and the
blowing of the shrubbery and of her
skirt. The clouds form the whole
back ground and serve to center the
attention upon the woman. The

"Palms In the Wind"
Jonas Lie's picture "Palms in the
Wind" strikes me as being beautiful
for several reason: Especially I
find it so because it possesses a cer
tain spiritual quality an ominous
note of the strange power and force
of nature. This element in the pic
ture gives one a thrill like that ex
