K. Johnstone, head of Lite department of architecture, in answer to-lhosc who have expressed doubt as to the suita bility of Old IVluin for mural decoration. U A mural well done has never spoiled any building." he continued, “and a good artist can be expected to handle his work so that it becomes an in tegral part of the scheme. This Georgian type of archi tecture has a precedent in murals in the Williamsburg, Va., restoration project. The fresco medium is an in surance against garishness for fresco tends to soften the colors.” Johnstone explained that fresco is the more desirable base because it is no more expensive than oil paintings would be, and has the added feature that students would be able to watch the artist at work. Fresco is also more permanent besides being a soft* er medium, he said. “If murals arc to be put anywhere on the campus, Old Main should be iirst. The wall in the main lobby is an ideal setting, and it is something the lobby needs,” Johnstone, staled. “No spot on the campus lends itself so well to mural painl'ng. “From the standpoint of visibility and view, the composition of the j stairway makes a pbrfeeL setting, and no spot is seen more’often by the students,” he went on. "The open archway is an expedient the archi tect lias resorted to and shows that he felt something should be done with this central portion, proving th*iL the wall at the landing is ideal for the central thought of the mural theme.” /.
