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

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

& 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?
Elbert Htubbarti spoke recently at
Purdue on "UntappodReaervolrs."
