ua Vinci Her
Dr. Sarton Describes Interests,
Educational Background Of Artist
dent
ieonarao ua vinci was not a
cholar, Dr. George Sarton said
Tuesday at an informal lecture
entitled, "Leonardo Da Vinci,
Innovator and Man of Science."
Sarton explained that Da Vinci
did not read much. He said Da
Vinci did not know Latin to any
detailed extent and he could not
read books written in that lan
guage. Da Vinci was born near Flor
ence, Italy in 1452. Due to the
unusual circumstances of his
birth, he did not have a formal
education, Sarton added. Da Vin
ci was the son of a lawyer, but
ne was sent to the studio of an
artist in Florence instead of to
law scnool
SARTON DECLARED that this
was better for Da Vinci because
he learned to solve real ques
tions instead or hair-splitting"

Da Vinci worked at the studio
until he was 30. At that time, he
was hired as a military engineer.
This job allowed him freedom to
keep on painting and t develop
his artistic talents.
Da Vinci wandered following
his career as a military engineer.
He did some painting and built
canals in Italy.
He spent two years in the
Vatican City. Following this, he
accepted an offer to go to the
castle of Francis I, where he re
mained until his death in 1519,
Sarton said.
DA VINCI'S . hobby was anat
omy, Sarton asserted. He stated
that Da Vinci was "shackled" by
the prevailing views of that time
on dissecting the human body.
Da Vinci was driven by genius
and wanted to understand human
anatomy. His task was made
more difficult by the lack of mod
ern chemicals and devices to aid
dissection.
HE DREW as he dissected, but
his drawings were seen by only
a few people during his lifetime.
His work had no influence upon
the history of science because it
was unknown, Sarton said.
Da Vinci achieved life-like
qualities in his art work because
of his detailed knowledge of hu
man anatomy . and proportions.
He did not publish his knowledge
on anatomy. Sarton said that "he
never reached the stage of writ
ing books."
Da Vinci was also a nature stu
dent, Sarton declared. He was one
of the first to study the Alps,
and he did it scientifically. Da
Vinci was great because he was
relatively free of superstitious
beliefs. Many people of his day
had a fear of mountains, being
certain that there were goblins
hidden in the hills.

Stabilizers To Cushion Shock Fall
Nourse Says At Tuesday Seminar
There is no possibility of a repi-Jtor a specific bounce-back
tition of the economic debacle
of 1929, said Dr. Edwin G. Nourse,
senior fellow of the Guggenheim
Memorial Foundation and chair
man of the President's Council
of Economic Advisors from 1946
to 1949, Tuesday evening.
Dr. Nourse said that since our
economy had been tigthened up
considerably with various equa
lizers including the Federal Re
serve, security exchange adminis
tration, and social security,
.
HOWEVER, HE continued, we
may have been living too long
under a "pie in the sky," adding
that we "can't expect to have it
so good all the time." We can
not continue beating last year's
record year after year. Some
time we must stop and reappraise
our situation and strive for gen
eral economic literacy, he said.
Dr. Nourse believed that the
present economic program set
forth by ihe President's budget
message of January 28 and the
policies of the present Council of
Economic Advisors "was not suf
ficiently courageous in making
analysis analysis dynamic for
the present or forseeable future."
Statistics must be taken as far as
they can be taken, but they do
not speak for themselves. They
must be interpreted and set into
definitive policies, the economist
said.
DR. NOURSE condensed the
President's economic report into
three points:
1. The economy essentially
souna.
2. An economic trend comole-
uon xorseeabie in the near future.
3. Adequate methods for stop
page if trends should take a
serious turn.
However, Dr. Nourse said that
the report was "hesitating" and
was lacking in insights that were
of significant value in informing
Congress and the country. Eco
nomic forces will not work them
selves out, he added, criticizing
that the message did not prepare
pro
gram, but was more intent on
cushioning the effects of any
downward course.
FUNDAMENTALLY, WE are
strong, Dr. Nourse declared, but
we are susceptible to disease
and our strength is not-supported
"by mirrors." We need to keep
an optimum balance between pro
ductive capacity and the' con
sumer needs, he said, remember
ing that "what small business
could do for itself is much more
important than what government
can do for small business."
Molding the thought with
human components. Dr. Nourse
concluded by saying that we
needed the "blood of brotherhood,
a little more water squeezed out
of the inflated dollar, and per
haps a bit of mental perspiration."
