Stating that art is set apart from life only by the quality of imagination and that emotion is the companion of imagination, Prof. Linus Burr Smith, chairman of the architectural department, told a gathering at Morrill hall Sunday that both go together to make possible the experience of reality. The address, first in a series of four, was sponsored by the Nebraska Art association in connection with their forty-fifth annual exhibition.
