Goodrich Praises 3 American Artists The “foremost American painter of the nineteenth century," an artist “who never achieved fame in a worldy sense,” and a roman ticist who was the “foremost poet pf the sea” were discussed by Lloyd Goodrich in his lecture on Winslow Homer, Thomas Eakins, and Albert Ryder last night in 121 Sparks. Goodrich; associate director of the Whitney Museum of American Art and historian of late 19th and early 20th century art, traced and compared the works of the three men from their early attempts to their maturity. Comparing Homer and Eakins, Goodrich described Homer as a romantic naturalist who expressed the outdoor life around him in a free and colorful Style. He classed Eakins as a pure realist who paint ed from life in a concentrated and profound manner. Contrast ingly, he called Ryder a paihter who lived in a dream world more real than his actual surroundings. At the start of his career Ho mer used as his subject childhood scenes in his native New England. He reached his greatest success in his later Goodrich said, when he retired to .the Maine Two Plans Given for Hat Society Hat Society Council last night suggested two alternatives con cerning the proposed formation of a new women’s' hat society. A postponement was declared to al low presidents of the women’s dormitories to discuss the two 'plans with dorm members. These two suggestions deal with deter mining the status of members who will be admitted to the so ciety. One alternative is to allow no woman previously a member of either women’s hat societies, Chimes or Cwens, member ship in the new society. A sec ond proposal, which is a recent compromise, states that no more than one-half of the newly select ed members may have previously been members of either Chimes or Cwens. The total membership of the society would be twenty-five. Discussion also arose concern ing the purpose of the proposed society. It was stated that many women do not have the necessary average, which is three points above the, junior class women’s average, to become members of the only senior women’s hat so ciety, • Mortar Board. Neverthe less, these same women do have the necessary 1.5 average, in dition to numerous activities, to be permitted to the new; society. Because of the average require ment many women are not getting deserved praise for both their extracurricular and academic work. The opposition to the new. so ciety, however, said the method for membership selection was too indefinite. Because of this the proposals were sent to the women for their preferred ppimpn. ;;ReT gardless of the outcome" of ’ this discussion, the formation of this new hat society will ' have to he passed unanimously by the coun cil. By ANN LEH coast and painted the sea in a vigorous,' realistic style. Eakins, in all his works, shows a fusion of his scientific and hu man interests, being the-first'to paint doctors in the operating amphitheaters in his native Phila delphia. He built his art around the occupations and recreations of middleclass -city life, Goodrich said. Ryder worked on imaginative themes, deriving his subjects from mythology, the great poets, and the Bible. He is most noted, ac cording to Goodrich, for his ex pression of the impact of nature in his works, and portraying the sea as an infinite and eternal element. Goodrich is the author of books on Homer and Eakins and is pres ently compiling a volume on the life and works of Ryder.
