oi - Jakiing a report on the death of my eat, wihicih
died last week &nom rat poison.
We were told by M. Galbraith that the poison
wou(Ld not kill am animal, only rats. No warnings
wer e putt up to let the people know that poison
had been put out. It Was done behind our backs
Witich4 Consider pretty sneaky.
I.thmily believe it was not oncly to kill rats, Wit
cilso to get rid of some of• th e pets in ManiereLA.
The residents of Wdrulerest won't complain be.
Flame they are afnaid of being put out of their
izallers. This dis supplosed to 'be a free country with
Pieedoun of speech. Sometimes I.wonder•!

With the Editor
In the Spring of 1945, College Trustees accepted
gifts from various classes totaling $11,250 to com
plete the murals in Old Main.
Since the money did come from students, they
might be interested in knowing what plans Mr.
Poor, the muralist, has in mind for completing the
frescoes.
Asked if the entire east and west walls were to
be filled or just the arched spaces, Poor wrote:
"I would be very sorry if The additional ,tresvoes
'planned for Old Main , sChould be confined to the
jour arched - spaces around the balcony. While
thesle are obvtionsly 'handsome spaces, I feel very
, StrengllY that in confining "the frescoes to them,
leavling the bare walls between, our whoile . plan of
declaration woutd be r abb'ed of much of its vitality
and kuterest.
. . there is no structural or architectural
break to separate thes e panels from the adjoining
walls . . . it would • make the projected • murals
more like detached paintings .instead of being. a
complete plan of decoration, somewhat in the fine
tradition of the Two Hall in Vienna for frescoes,
or of Saint Marks for mosaic, wher e the decora
tion becomes an integral part of the walls and of
the architedture.
"I feel that modern mural decoration sniffers
very much because of that detadhed and fragmen
tary qUality and I look forwrard with great Pleas
ure to this chance for Making a• really complete
job of this; to make alfl. the - walls consistent and
uniTied.
From the point of view of a Painter, the Variety
of shapes and sizes which the whole varied spaces
of the wall offers is mndh more attractive than
the limited spaces, buit I . think 'it is really con
sideration for their architectural fitness that most
influences Me in Wanting to see the decoration
.dontanucuS exoept for the breaks of the open
doorways.
". . . so, altogether, I hope very tau:ft that the
frescoes . can b e carried thrangh as planned . I
thic:tfpe thes e rea.sous will seem valid - . . . in making
a readly richly decorated center for Old Main."
