toward launching a novel and cultural pioject—a
project which would Lung, mina!, to the will,

on the campus,
That they woad Lend to revue the cla , t; spun

Shunted by the Class of 'tB, proponents of the

more than "Mee) months had been investigatintii
the possibilities of a suitable gift to the College.
'I Ins, however, was only an anti-climax, hetiiinge
the pioject will omit fa, :noir than $4 500 and
I ecause cooperation fioni other classes and fioni
the College itself mall be needed in the future to
carry out the program to its desired end
Among other things, cooper atom , horn other

IL is fa this utter lemon—in order to °IAA
the hest available muralist to do the job—that the
Collegian hope , . the Board of Trustee, will not
delay too long its official approval and acceptance
of the gift
Fm the best and the most noted Amm;con'onn

around December
That man is Henry Val num Pont
IPR POOR is, in the fullest sense of the term,
.1 creative al tist; •'.m at tist who thinks courageous.
lv and feels deeply, an artist who can expiess his
thought and his feeling with ot igina , ity and pow-
Such n., the way in which Edward Alden Jewel',
111 t editor of the New i'oi k Tirneq,' describe , Ili
Ply),
Adds M .Jewell ''l am delighted to learn that
Hoary Varnum Poor has consented, if your pin
go. ,an be put tluough, to paint mural, in the
lobby of the main building at the Pennsylvania
state College Time are no hettei arti , ,t, work

Says Lewis Mumfot d, author of "The Cultuie of
the Cities" and a contiihuting edam of the Nev.
Republic "liemv Varnum Poor is one of the most
distinguished artists in Ammica today, a man
in put ilongsicle the very best in any country, and
his choice as a min alist foi the Pennsylvania Slaw'
College would reflect great credit on the institu
tion The tinning ewer from the mediocre and
the insipid in public writ kg, and the willingness
to use the mote able and original spirits in paint
ing is a sign of a growing cultural maturity and
self-confidence of which I, us a patriotic American,
am proud 4111 he more happy should an Amen
(an lie when this new smut manifests itself in
one of our publicly-supported state universities"
And, adds Unmet Saint-Gaudens, director of
the Carnegie Institute Depititment of Pine Arts,
now supervising the International Exposition at
Pittsburgh "Mi Poor is one of the outstanding
mural decorators in this country at present. His
work in the Department of Justice Building in
Vailungton has received a tremendous amount of
appreciative press comment. I admire Mr. Poor's
woik and regal d him as being 01111 of the best nit.
1.0 in the mildly I would he happy indeed to
tee him ohfain such a commission (paint mural ,
at Penn State) "
THESE ARE the opinions of experts in the field
of art, opinions which hear mature thought, opin
ions which early tremendous weight.
The luring of Remy Varnum Pooi to do the nod,
bele, would make Penn State the first college .in
the country to have murals painted by out

Here is the College's opportunity to rise alinco,t
