Gets New Fbce
On Trustees 1 OK
The lobby of Old Main is to be
redecorated if and when the Col
lege trustees approve plans which
were made last month, announced
George Ebert, head of the depart
ment of physical plant.. Object
of the program, he explained, is
to add emphasis to the Land
Grant Frescoes which line three
walls of the lobby.
Henry Vamum Poor, painter
of the frescoes, and Roy F. Lar
son, visiting architectural design
critic ■ for the College, last month
recommended a . color scheme
which calls for a dark gray wains
coating, lighter gray vaults, and
red columns. Physical plant
workmen have applied paints to
test various color scheme pro
posals. /

tem will probably be revamped.

center chandelier also may be re
placed.

formation is preparing a brochure

ground. and an explanation of the
