New Exhibit, 'Contemporary Art of Western
Hemisphere,' Opens Today in Morrill Hall
The exhibition of "Contempo
rary Art of the Western Hemi
sphere," a collection of 103 paint
ings assembled and acquired by
the International Business Ma
chines corporation, on view at the
university art galleries in Morrill
hall, from Sunday, Nov. 26, to
Dec. 17, reveals the various schools
and techniques which dominate
the art expression of this hemi
sphere. In this collection, the uni
versal language of the artist has
been used to interpret the Amer
icas to the Americas how its peo
ple live, what their traditions and
occupations are, and what they
look like.
According to Dwight Kirsch of
the art department, this exhibit
is more than a group of paintings.
In these difficult days, it is a ges
ture of understanding and admira
tion for our allies and in the
words of Thomas J. Watson, pres
ident of I. B. M., "With this col
lection, we once more affirm our
faith that through the language
of the artist, people will be better
able to recognize those traits com
mon to all men that bind human
ity together in universal kinship."

In every instance, the paintings
were chosen by local art juries
who selected the painting that
best represented the art develop
ment and character of the state,
country or province. By this proc
ess, the company contrived a col
lection that gives a bird's-eye
view of the people, traditions,
landscape and architecture of this
hemisphere, from the Straits of
Magellan to the northern tip of
Alaska. As might be expected, the
method of selection used results
in uneven quality of work repre
senting different sections, and
many varied standards of excel
lence. In the 53 canvases representing
the United States, the gallery vis
itor will find that landscapes pre
dominate desert and mountain,
dust bowls and rich pasture land,
smoking factories and sleepy vil
lages, oil fields, wheat fields and
timberland. In the space of a few

To create a plan for the most

This Week At War
By Albert Reddish
Independents are looking toward
Sumner Welles as the man to take
over Wendell Willkie's leadership
of the internationalist element.
Welles, who is heard on a weekly
radio broadcast over a Lincoln
station Wednesday night, is one
of the best-informed men in the
United Nations on world affairs
and is particularly well-informed
on Latin American problems.
Holding settlement of internation
al peace as more important than
any personal gain, the former
undersecretary of state presents
disinterested interpretation of cur
rent events and problems of peace.

Adds $2,000
To Almy Fund
Mrs. Amy Bruner Almy has
added $2,000 to the John E. Almy
scholarship fund which she es
tablished for students in the Uni
versity of Nebraska departments
of physics last April, Perry W.
Branch, secretary director of the
University Foundation announced.
Mrs. Almy established the fund
in memory of her husband, the
late Dr. John . Almy, for many
years professor of experimental
physics at the university.
In announcing the donation,
Branch said that the fund is now
sufficient to maintain a $100 an
nual scholarship. The scholar
ship is available to the university
student who has satisfactorily
completed one year of academic
work and is majoring in physics.
The general scholarship commit
tee awards the scholarship from
recommendations made by the
staff of the physics department.
