Old Main Art Collection Murals in Old Main Go Unappreciated Most students are aware of art collections brought to the Hetzel Union Building throughout the year, but some of the best mural paintings in the country go unnoticed by many persons on campus. These paintings are Henry Vincent Poor's fresco paintings in Old Main: Many local art ex perts consider these paintings the most outstanding paintings in the area. They feel these are not al ways appreciated as much as they should be. Fresco paintings are painted on wet plaster, the pigments being applied with water. The Frescoes in Old Main were started in the Spring of 1940. Poor worked on the project at various times until they were completed in 1949. Funds from the Class of 1932 paid the or i g in a 1 cost of the murals. The rest of the expenses were paid from student contribu tions. The total cost was approx imately $20,000. The theme is American land grant colleges, of which Penn State is one of the first. The cen tral figures are Abraham Lincoln, signer of the Morrill Land Grant College Act, and the figure of an idealized student who is planting a tree—symbolic of education. Many of the subjects are of campus personalities at the time of the paintings. Many consider this as Poor's finest work. ' These murals were the f irst done in any American college by a noted native artist. They are matched only by the works of Mexico's Orzo in the Dartmouth Library. Poor also did an oil portrait of former president Ralph Dorn Hetzel. Senior Invitations Available Senior announcements and in vitations may still be picked up this week at the Hetzel Union desk.
