MANY GOOD PICTURES K ART EXHIBIT UNIVER8ITY 8TUDENT 8UBMIT8 CRITICI8M OF 8HOW. SCENES OF CHEER ARE PLENTIFUL Works of Highest Price Are Not Al ways the Most Interest ing to the Average 8tudent. As you enter tho art gallery this year tho first thing you soo is Henri's "Tho Girl In Whlto," a slim and grnco ful flguro standing thoro in an atti tude suggesting rovorlo. The plcturo has been much praised, especially tho skill shown In painting tho white draperies, tho subtle handling of the numerous dollcnto tints, and the beauty of tho lines. Tho second thing you see, If you aro as barbarian as tho average per son, is tho stained and faded wall paper of that north wall. But UiIb makes you realizo that there aro fewer pictures than usual being exhibited and that you have a hotter chanco to learn to know and appreciate the ones that are thoro. Study in Gallery. Ono student this year spent an af ternoon In tho art gallery In company with a vory heavy philosophy book. When hlB brnin got too tired ho looked up at his favorite picture, or which ever favorite ho was Just then Bitting noar, and found that It made a won dorful difference In tho way ho felt. For Instance, .when ho was sitting in front of Post's "Clearing Weather," every time ho looked up tho Illusion possessed him with fresh force that ho was not sitting indoors, but was out in some green meadow lands look ing acrosB a cool stream. Tho highest-priced picturo in tho collection, Harper's "Wood Pinks," 1b not popular with a good many fre quenters of tho art gallery. It is high ly impressionistic In its nature, and reminds many people of nightmares they once had. Other Impresslonfstlc landscapo paintings take pretty well, however, Biich aB Millar's "Summer time," on the west wall, and Helen Turner's little painting on tho east wall, "Lato Afternoon SunBhlne." This little sun-flecked bungalow makes one's heart warm to look at it. Vory few pooplo will ever realize tho won der and glory of just light and Just color, till they give up tholr self-conceit long enough to look through an artist's eyes. Connoyer's "Sunny Morning" and Cochran's "Studio Door" aro two UMle pictures in which the artists have simply reveled in light. Good Pictures. After all, an element of human In terest In a picturo heightens Interest for most of us. "Tho Struggle for Ex istence," by Pottha8t, hung next to "tho Girl in White," is 'a glorious study of a cloudy ocean twilight with its brief flashing afterglow reddening the sea. The color effect of the or ange hues against the purple-gray is tremendously effective; but while one-half of tho mind revels in the beauty of tho thing, the other half takos up tho thought suggested by the name, and Is carried away by the magnitude and force of tho assbcia tlons It awakens. Tho struggle of the weaker against the stronger the fish against tho two fishermen, tho fisher men against tho elements of nature, tho sky and tho sea, and all for tho bare right to lives these thoughts, potently suggested by the picture, make it ono of tho most worth whilo works in tho gallery. Miss Parrlsh's picturo, "The Wor shipper," on tho east wall is a dream ily executed picture, moody, idealistic, and strong, but perhaps solf-conscious. On tho . other hand, Gari Melchor's "Married," which represents a peasant brfdal couple, has been "branded by several critics as too extremely realis tic. And they are about as wooden faced and stolid-looking a couple as one often boos, inside a picturo or out of it. But tho skill with which the artists brings out faces and attitudes compels the beholder's instant admira tion, and one cannot help thinking that the girl's Btald oxterlor hides a solemn and religious awo which la Saturday Special... Unland i battling hard with a fierce pride of achievement and possession. And the man is fearfully solf-conBcious, partly because ho is so nervous, partly 'be cause he feels so important. Others Please. Just a fow other pictures in the gallery that have seemed to please a groat many aro Henri's "Rain Show ers," refreshingly simple and real; Ryder's "Valley of the Assise," with Its convincing representation of great height; Landor's delightful study of southern moonlight, "A Church In La- guna"; Ochtman.'s "Woodland Brook," with Its subdued purples, and Irvlng's "Hondo Falls." Winter's picturo, "Fostune," Is a very interesting piece of work from its quaint composition and attractive coloring; it is tho only product of the so-called pre-Raphaelito school now in the gallery. PROFESSOR FLING AT FRIDAY CONVOCATION HI8TORY NATURE PROFESSOR TELL8 OF OF GRADUATE WORK. THE ELEMENTS OF SCIIOLORSIIIP Knowledge of Languages and Broad Reading, as Well as Intensive Ability as a Student, Are Essential. Professor F. M. Fling of the Euro pean history department addressed the convocation for the graduate col lego Friday evening. His subject was "Tho Nature of Graduate Work," and In the course of Ills remarks ho under took to show how graduate work could bo Improved and what methods should bo pursued In attaining it. The at tendance for an address of so much interest to many Btudents, was lament ably small. The speaker said in part: "Tho question ariBes of what grad uate work really is and the relation ship of the undergraduate school to the graduate school. The problem ex ists whether tho young student may be allowed a certain amount of free dom from tho first Probably ho should be allowed a certain amount, llttlo by little to go his way and And out what true scholarship is. To some degree the burden, must bo thrown upon himself. If students neglect such an opportunity they suffer for it. "It 1b impossible to allow tho un dergraduate go his own way, for what he mo8j. needs is direction. But tho bost graduate work must follow as a result of strong undergraduate work. Especial attention muBt bo given to the languages, for a working knowl edge of thorn 1b necessary for ad vanced research. It is not right to give a man his doctor degree when he is scarcely ablo to read in French or German. Preparation Important. "When a BU,bJect for graduate work is selected, much work must bo done In tho mattor of preparation. At the. vory beginning the graduate Btudent must become familiar with tho tech-. nic and methods of the thing he un dertakes. And ono of the most es sential things 1b the familiarity with tho languages. S6me come to us who have had no special preparation at all. Others plan to do graduate work In a Bubject which in their under graduate period they had paid no at tention at all. Graduate work Is not this at all, hut a continuation of a carefully organized and definitely un derstood subject For It the student Broken Line of $3.00 and $3.50 flats, now ....... Broken Line of $1.25 and $1.50 Shirts, now ...... $10.00 Cravenette Coats, $15.00 Cravenette Coats, . . & Co. must have a largo knowledge of tho languages and he must have much time to spend ppon it. Ho must go at It as if ho wanted to know something about his subject. Languages aro tools for real investigation and yet but few students study them for such a pur pose. Relation of Subjects. "What is tho relation of tho main subject to other Bubjects? A scholar is not a man who knows only a good deal about his own subject, but he is one who knows other lines of thought as well. His reading must bo broad, for lntenBiveness does not make tho great Bcholar. His reading, however, must not be Just here and there, but thoroughly in all, though a largo amount of reading does not create a Bcholar. "The value of graduate work Is great. It takes years of time to pro duce the great scholar, and yet good work may bo done in a few years. The work in the best schools at tho present time is high. We have had students come to us from the schools who were not prepared to do what they came to do and were out of place where they thought they should bo. They had to be really started as be ginners in the subject. "Let ub know what ought to bo done. There are many problems which need to be Investigated. If we can not hope to train students in advanced scholarship we should not Invite them here. For eighteen years In the European history department we have concentrated on tho short period of the French revolution, and with our work thus done wo can almost equal the work done on the continent. Tho graduate student Is doing original work and his other duties must not soparate him from his real undertak ing. He muBt always have time for it and not be infringing on undergrad uate work, but put his graduate work in its place." CHANCELLOR AVERY TO SPEAK. Will Talk to Mass Meetina on 'Old Faith and New Knowledge." Chancollor Avery will speak at the mass meeting of university women to bo held In Memorial hall at 4 o'clock Sunday afternoon. Mrs. Raymond and the university chorus will furnish the music for tho occasion. The subject of tho chancellor's address will be "Old Faith and Now Knowledge." A NEBRA8KA MAGAZINE. In many lines Nebraska 1b well rep resented In tho various fields of stu dent activity. Tho university has a fair assortment of clubs, societies, and other organizations calculated to re lievo tho surplus energy of the stu dent body. Yot there Is at least one thing which Nebraska needs and does not have. That is a literary magazine. At one tlmo the university did boast of a literary monthly, but the paper was abandoned several years ago, and there has been nothing of the kind since its death. In early days tho uni versity had atao a comic magazine, but that too came to an end. It would certainly seem that there was enough talent in a school of Ne braska's sfze to support a literary monthly, or better still, a literary comic. Other universities carry on such activities in a manner reflect ing credit to tho undergraduates in charge of tho work. At Wisconsin there is a particularly breezy maga zine. Why not hero as well?
