Test Run Made
For Old Main
Color Scheme
By JOHN ASHBROOK
Pilots customarily are the ones'
who take test runs. But now the
painters are having a “test run.”
And in Old Main, no less.
Splotches of paint decorating
the ceiling above the murals in
Old Main are evidence of experi
ment? ith ill— schem - to
harmonize with the murals, Mil
ton S. Osborne, head of the de
partment of architecture, ex
plained yesterday.
Next month, a committee con
sisting of Henry Varnum Poor,
who painted the mural, Roy F.
Larsoh, architectural design critic
and consultant to the College, and
a group representing the College
administration will select _ the
colors to be used.
In the formation stage are plans
to revamp the lighting system in
the lobby, also with an eye to
creating ,a suitable background
for the paintings.
Mr. Poor started his work on
the mural in 1940 as a result of
a gift.of the Class of 1932. The
first and central painting, known
as the Land Grant Fresco, com
memorates the founding of the
College under the terms of the
Morrill Act. * ■ '
In additional panels the contri
bution of the College to the agri
culture and industry of the state
are represented. The final' sec
tion, completed last spring, in

and graduates who served in

ates who have gone into all the
professions are also honored.
