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
