Snipes Explains Pictures in Lxhibit from Metrophtan Galleries "Lincoln people do not realize that looking at this exhibit they are enjoy ing metropolitan advantages. These paintings have come from New York and Chicago, and will go from here to Kansas City and Minneapolis." This was the opening comment of Mrs. J. J. Snipes, membership secre tary of the Nebraska Art Associa tion, in the Art Gallery yesterday morning. On the south wall hangs a collec tion from the Grand Central Galler ies of New York City: on the other three walls are paintings from the thirty-seventh annual exhibit of the Chicago Art Institute, with five or six displayed by courtesy of Carson Pine Scott and Company of Chicago. The paintings will be on exhibition until February 15. "The collection is particularly out standing for the youth of the artists. many of whom are among the best known in the country," said Mrs. Snipes. " For instance, Malcolm Farcell painted his 'Portrait of My Mother, which won the Harris Bronze Medal, at only twenty-nine years of age." She indicated a can vas portraying a gentle old lady sit ting auitely in an armchair. "This is the prize of the Chicago Art Institute the 'Recessional.' " It was an intricate, intensely colored painting on the east wall. 'What is your interpretation of the 'Recessional.' " Mrs. Snipes was ask Committe Will Meet at 5 O'clock Monday The committee in charge of University night' will meet in Ellen Smith Hall at 5 o'clock on Mon day, January 19.

THE UNIVERSITY OF NEBRASKA, LINCOLN, NEBRASKA, ed. "Many observers complain that they are confused by it." Mrs. Snipes studied the picture in silence for a moment. Then she said, "Robert Savage, the artist, got his inspiration for the 'Recessional' from Kipling's quotation, 'Lest we forget, Lord God of Hosts, Lest we forget.' "On the ground lies a young sol dier, killed in battle. A vulture perches nearby, ready to attack the body. Here you see a Madonna, hold ing her child out to the world and perhaps wondering if he is to share the fate of the soldier. She is look ing down at the Bible, opened at the Sermon on the Mount. Above these figures are two powerful, militant men, one a patriarch, the otner a strong figure on horseback. I think that they are trying to take the world by other means than that which the Madonna advocates vou see the churches lying in ruins about them. "Several Nebraska artists are rep resented in the collection," Mrs. Snipes continued, after a moment, pointing at two portraits of children by Mrs. D. R. Leland of Lincoln. One is of Little Miss Casey Campbell, daughter of R. E. Campbell, '10, Cleveland, Ohio. The other ctmvas portrays Miss Gwenith Orr, daughter of Dr. W. W. Orr. Lincoln. Miss Hermine J. Stellar, assistant professor of drawing and painting at the University of Nebraska, is the artist who executed "Portrait of Miss Florence Stellar," and "Girl Read ing." "Over the Hill and Beyond" was painted by Mrs. A. R. Edmiston of Lincoln. This canvas, as Mrs. Snipes explained, was awarded a prize at the annual Nebraska art show sponsored bv the Omaha Society of Fine Arts. "An Interior" is the work of Louis Ritman, pupil of Lawton Parker, who once lived at Kearney, Nebraska Blanche Grant, a former instruc tor at the University of Nebraska, painted "The Saddle Blanket," one of a number of pictures of the great southwest in the exhibition.

PHI SIGMA PLANS FUTURE PROGRAMS Honorary Biological Society Holds Regular Meeting Thursday. Phi Sigma, honorary biological so ciety, held its regular meeting on Thursday, January 15. Plans for furthering the activities of the so ciety were discussed, and programs for future meetings arranged. The new members for the present semester are as follows: Paul Her ron, parasitology; Rayburn W. Sam son, plant pathology; Christine Thy gisont botany; William Harvey West, botany: O. L. Williams, zoology; Leo nard Worley, animal ecology; Ruth Shattuck, zoology. Edgar C. Tullis was the society's delegate to the re cent national convention at Washing ton, D. C. The membership is made up of out standing students and faculty mem bers interested in biology. Students interested in botany or zoology are eligible to election to membership if they meet the requirements. Fifteen hours of biology, exclusive of begin ning courses, completion of four se mesters of college work, a scholastic standing of eighty-five per cent, fac ulty recommendation, and the unani mous assent of the members of the local chapter, constitute the mini mum requirements. The society aims to increase interest in the biologic sciences on the part of undergradu ates, and to furnish incentive for maintaining a high average in stud ies. It makes it possible for the undergraduate student in biology to obtain and enjoy membership in a scientific society during his junior and senior years. Both men and wo men are elected to membership.

EDITORS ASK FOR ARTICLE Professor Gray Requested to Write For French Review. The editors of the new French re view, entitled "Philosophies," have asked from Prof. Louis H. Gray of the department of philosophy a "Meditation sur Dieu." The new review is devoted to the new and energetic French movement in phil osophy, which is under the leader ship of men of the younger genera tion. Dr. Gray is internationally known for his work in religion, and this re quest is a very distinguished compli ment to the interest which his views have aroused views which are es sentially conservative. Dr. Gray has also contributed an article to the "Revue de Philologie" under the title "Essai de reconstruction de certaines Hans le texte d'Eschyle.' in which he endeavors .o fill in some of the gaps in the traditional text. COLUMBIA MAN WILL BE GUEST Professor Montague Will Ad dress Convocation Thurs day Morning. ALEXANDER PRAISES EMINENT PHILOSOPHER Prof. William P. Montague of Columbia University, professor of metaphysics, will be the guest of the department of philosophy January 21-23. He will give the convocation ad' dres3 at the Temple Theater, Thurs day. January 23, at-11 o'clock, deal ing with social problems from the philosophical point of view. He will probably also speak at a luncheon for faculty members and students inter ested in philosophy. Professor Montague is on his way to the University of California, where he is to give a special series of addresses. Of him, Dr. H. B. Alex ander of the department of philoso' phy says: - "He s one of the most notable American philosophers not merely as a philosopher but as a hu man being and as a delightful per sonality. An English reviewer says of him that he never opens his mouth unless he has something to say. He is like one ot uunyers L.ap- utans with one eye in the heavens. He is certainly the most eminent of the school of neo-realists in Amer- PHYSICS PROFESSOR CONDUCTS PESEARCH Moore Experiments Upon Con dition of Matter in the Magnetic Field. Prof. B. E. Moore of the depart ment f physics is conducting some extensive experiments upon the con ditions of matter in the magnetic field, in cooperation with the Bu reau of Standards, Washington, D. C. Recent developments in the the ory of atomic structure have revived interest in a method which Professor Moore used nearly twenty years ago. At a Washington conference last August, Dr. Zeeman, who received the Nobel prize for pioneer work in this line, when told that Dr. Moore would be interested in the work, ax pressed his pleasure, saying "Moore's work is the only research available upon the earth metals." The large spectograph and Brace electromagnet of the physics department, which w used in this study, is one of the bst equipments. WILL ASK WOMEN TO JOIN Y. W. C. A. Membership Committee Interview All Non Members. Will The membership committee of the Y. W. C. A. will invite every woman in the University who has not a card in1 the membership file to become a member of the association within the next month. A careful check has been made of the file and lists pre pared of all women who are not members. A second list of all those who are members will be posted on the bulletin board at the entrance of Ellen Smith HalL Many of the upperclasswomen have not signed cards for several years and it is possible that their pledges have been lost. In that case they are asked to fill out a new card. Any woman in the University who is willing to sign the membership pledge is invited to become a mem ber. There are no fees. Cards may be secured at Ellen Smith hall. Magazines Publish Articles by Weber Dr. C. O. Weber of the department of philosophy has an article in the January number of the American Journal of Psychology on the phil osophy of chance in relation to psy chology. The Journal of Criminal Law and Criminology will also pub lish an article by Dr. Weber on "A Study of the Intelligence and Emo tional Traits of Male Reformatory Inmates." ONLY ONE ALLOWED TO CALL FOR PROOF Should Go to the Studio Three Days After Picture Is Taken. Only one person from each group that has its picture taken at the cam pus studio for the 1925 Cornhusker will be allowed to call for the proofs. Three days after the group picture is taken, the croup will sendone per son to the studio to get the proofs These proofs with the selected proof must be returned to the photographer within the next four days. During the past week, as many as twenty-five members of a group have called at the studio to see the proofs of that particular group, and it is impossible for the photographer to continue his work of developing, nrintine. and taking pictures when he is obliged to stop to show the proofs to several members of the same ctoup. It is on this account that one person must be authorized by each group to get its proofs, and he is made responsible for the safe return of them to the studio.

PRICE 5 CENTS CAGE ARTISTS DEFEAT DRAKE Nebraska Team Wins Easily From Des Moines Crew, 20 to 8. REMAIN AT TOP IN CONFERENCE RACE Nebraska's cagemen continued to occupy the top berth of the Missouri Valley conference after Drake was defeated last night in the Armory, 20-8. The Cornhuskers had little trouble with Coach Solem's Des Moines men and were sure winners all the way. Eckstrom and Goodson featured in the goal shooting and 1 tpton a floor work stood out a bright spot in the game. Everett and Mentz of the visitors showed up fairly well, but their team was unable to show any stuff at all. Nebraska is tied for first place in the conference with Washington Uni versity as a result of the letter's win over Oklahoma Friday night Wash ington nosed out the Sooners by a score of 32-30, which makes the race look as if it had another contender. Nine minutes of the game last night had slipped by before either team was able to score. Eckstrom counted the first one a moment af ter he substituted for Usher. "Eck" made two more at short intervals and started the ball rolling. After he made a hard shot from the side of the court Tipton got loose under the goal and dropped a basket. Goodson scored and a moment af ter fouled a Drake man. Neither his or Tipton's foul netted anything for the visitors. Usher made a goal a few seconds before the half ended with the score at 13-2. The home team was using the zone defense and working it to good ad vantage. The Drake players were unable to penetrate it and scored only one goal throughout the first half. The weak spot in the Nebras ka play proved to be the inability to make free throws when the oppor tunity presented itself. Goodson opened the second frame with two baskets following each oth- .1 . n 1 . 1 A er. Mentz got tne nrsi urane snoi in the second half and Volz scored a neat one from near center. With twelve minutes to go, Coach W. G. Kline sent in Black for Usher and Beerkle for Eckstrom. A few moments later Andreson got in the game and this lineup played until the final shot. Play was ragged in the licf- few minutes of the game. Nebraska was devoting itself mainly to defense and Drake was playing poorly. They got awav rarely and only made their counters when the Cornhusker team was weakened by several second string men. The line-up: Nebraska fg " I pts.
