TSCHAN DISCUSSES ART OF BERNWARD Third L. A. Lecturer Says Eleventh Century Churchman Preached Gospel Through Art Work "Instead of preaching, Bernward, Bishop of Ilildesheim church during the eleventh century, relied upon his art to get his message to the people." Dr. Francis J. Tschan, professor in the department of history, said in an illustrated Liberal Arts lecture given in the Home Economics aduituriunt Tuesday night. 'Bmmw•ard made his entire church into an intricate nit, work. lie cast much of his work in bronze, and was the first person to ever cast a door in bronze relief, Dr: Tschan pointed out. lie said that the bishop tried to get three things into his pictures; simplicity, action, and an educational theme. His outstanding piece of work was a bronze door eighteen feet high, with reliefs of Biblical scenes. Dr. Tschun interpreted these reliefS as lessons which the bishop wanted to get to his people. He said that the door was 'placed in the vestibule og ed not pass. These pictures were. to the church, beyond which sinners dm remind these sinners with the grave ness of their wrong-doings and show , ed them the way to gain atonement. Dr. Francis M. Swartz, professor in the department of Mineralogy, will give the fourth Liberal Arts lecture on "Fossils, the Footsteps of Crea tion." In his speech he will discuss the vast changes in the geography of land and sea as illustrated by the character and occurrence of the fos sil remains in the ancient rocks of the State College region.
