ADDRESS ON ART
ornfessor Paul Grumman Gives
Prfiure This Week on
"The Nature of
Art."
BEAUTY STANDARDS VARY
receptions of Art Are Influ
enced by Masses of Inher
ited Prejudices and
Environment.
Art Is the expression of thought
ad emotion in an excellent and ef
Int way," declared Prof. Paul H.
Grumman in his lecture before the
(reshmen of the Arts and Science
College this week. The subject of
,le lecture was "The Nature of Art."
Professor Grumman began by point
u out that standard of beauty dlt
ler for different people, and that they
,re constantly changing. Novelties
considered beautiful years ago have
long been consigned to the flames as
,gly Much of this shifting comes
pte unconsciously." said the speaker
citing fashions as au example. Con
ceptions of art are largely influenced
by masses of inherited prejudice and
by environment. Realization ot
beauty may be broadened greatly by
travel.
-A nerson does not see unless he
knows' bow to see," stated Professor
Gmmmann. "The schools must shoul
der the responsibility of training th?
eye, and this may be accomplished
by drawing lessons. Music does the
me thing for the ear that drawing
joes for the eye.
Professor Grummarin does not be
lieve in forcing students to go to art
galleries or to concerts, bir they are
losing valuable opportunities in miss
ing them. "Art stirs up and inspires
yon to higher activity," he said.
"The worst enemy of art is snob
bishness," continued Mr. Grunimann.
"Bigotry is also a too common fault
imong artists and critics."
"Art is produced by the co-opera
ttonot many forces dominated by an
-artistic ideal," observed the speaker.
Tie spirit of art means that a place
k as beautiful as possible for what
It is meant for." Houses so decor
tted as to be useless in serving their
purpose as homes are not truly ar
tistic. A popular misconception is
abroad that art and luxury are syn
onymous while in reality art and
wonomy are synonymous, according
to Professor Grunimann.
In closine. Mr. Grummann pointed
rot that art means devoted effort and
ra-k. "Every true artist strives to
if his task as well as it can possibly
be done," he said.

A College Course
to Train Diplomats
New York, March 5. American
young men who look forward to car
eers as ambassadors, foreign minis
ters or other representatives of their
government abroad may now be
trained for such a career the same
as for the law, medicine or any other
profession, according to an announce
ment today by New York University.
The announcement makes public the
fact that scholarships established at
New York University by the late Am
bassador Frederic Courtland Penfield
are now operative and will be award
ed to candidates whose qualifications
best indicate a fitness for careers in
the foreign service.
Frederic Courtland Penfield died
last summer after a long career in
the diplomatic service which began
in the consul general's office in Cairo
and ended in Vienna as United States
ambassador where, through the try
ing period of the World War, he
bandied the Interests, not only of his
own country, but of half a dozen
other powers at war with Austria.
His experiences taught him that
while what Is known as "shirt
6leeves diplomacy" may serve very
well on occasion, there Is also a
nede for the trained diplomat. This
realization found expression in his
will in a bequest of $80,000 to New
York University for the founding of
what should be known as "Penfield
Scholarships" for training American
youth "in diplomacy, international af
fairs and belles-lettres."
These scholarships, which are la
part the realization of a plan long
advocated by Chancellor Elmer Ells
worth Brown, close friend of Ambas
sador Penfield, for a school of inter
national affairs at New York Culver
sity. will be awaded by Dean Earle
B Babcock of the Graduate School
of New York" University Two of
these scholarships for 11,000 each will

SPEAKSJT VESPERS
"Under Heaven One Family"
Was Motto of Student Fed
eration at Convention
"Under Heaven One Family" was
the motto of the World's Student
Christian Federation when students
and faculty from thirty-two nations?
met in Pekln, China, for their latest
convention. Miss Elizabeth McClana
han, Y. W. C. A. secretary from Den
ver, Colorado, spoke at the Vesper
service of the University Association
on the attitude of Christians of dif
ferent races toward one another as
seen abroad and at home. Kathryn
Warner led the meeting and Gladys
Micklo played a violin solo.
In Tekln last April many of the
nations represented had been warring
nations, yet they met to face together
the international problems of Christ
lanity. And the thing that impressed
many delegates was the fact that the
ovations for one country were no
louder than for the others. American
delegates found themselves Hanged
along one side of the room with the
rest of the "foreigners"; while the
Chinese occupied the other side. The
true proportion of importance among
the nations became very evident. In
fact, in the matter of thinking, Amer
icans were adjudged to be pretty flat
failures.
Kansas was taken as an example
for showing race prejudice right in
our own country by Miss McClanahan.
She told how a colored and a white
Y. V. C. A. secretary traveled through
the state for two weeks trying to
eradicate the feeling.
"Now the Normal school girls at
Emporia hold iuer-racial discussions.
Furthermore, they send colored girls
as delegates to the Student Volun
teers Convention."
Miss McClanahan at th close or her
speech asked this question as to ma
terial for serious thought: "What are
you going to do when you come in
contact with colored people?"
T
Was Impossible to Accommodate
All Students Wishing to
Tryout Monday and
Tuesday.
Additional tryouts for the Kosmet
Klub play will be held Wednesday of
this week, since Monday and Tuesday
it was impossible to accommodate
all those students who wished to com
pete for positions on the cast.
The production to be given this
year, in accordance with the custom
of the organization, was written by
a University student, Cyril C. Coombs,
who Is a member of the senior law
class. "The Yellow Lantenr." as the
play is called, is similar to "Sinbad",
Al Jolson's starring vehicle. The
main comedy part is that of a negro
singer, and it was in this part role
that Jolson appeared.
Tryouts are being held in Room 21,
in the basement of Teachers College
building from 7:30 to 10:30 in the
evening.
Announcement as to the cast for
the production will be made as soon
as eligibility and scholarship can be
checked, as well as verdicts can be
arrived at by the Judges, according
to Fred Richards, who is supervising
the tryouts for the members of the
Kosmet Klub.
