Dickson Expresses Hope
For Statue Preservation
Dr. Harold E. Dickson, professor of art and architecture
history, writing in the current issue of ‘‘The Art Quarterly,”
expressed the hope that measures will be taken to preserve
the Barnard Statues at the State Capitol in Harrisburg.
Dickson has done extensive studies on the work of the
WRA to Hold
2nd Coed Night
The Women's Recreation Asso
ciation has set Jan. 1G as the date
of their second annual Coed Rec
reation Nile.
Under the chairmanship of Sue
Smithson, junior in liberal arts
fiom Stamford, Conn, the pro-!
giam will feature volleyball, pro-j
gre.ssive Karnes, square dancing
and dancing to popular music. I
Activities in the game room!
will include ping-pong, bowling
and chess. Refreshments will be!
.served to the students attending
Action on the reorganization of
the WRA structure was post
poned by the executive board un
til the next meeting.
Ag Council—
(Continued from page two)
Many members objected to the
preliminary questionnaire be
ing given out because it "en
couraged cramming.” "We all
do enough of that as It is,” one
quipped.
The oros and cons of an oral
examination were also discussed.
One member aigued that “an oral
test will give the better speakers
n definite advantage over those
who aie not.”
Another said, "the test is not
a test of your speaking ability but
rather a test of your knowledge in
your field. Every college student
should be able to give his opinions
In an intelligent manner ”

Bellefonte-born sculptor, George
Grey Barnard. He said that these
statues which 50 years ago at
tracted the attention of the art
world, are showing alarming de
terioration fiom exposure to the
weather.
The statues, Dickson said, have
not remained popular in Ameri
can art Objections have been
raised that the groups are crowd
ed and confused and that their
moralistic ideas are obvious and
commonplace, he continued.
In the article entitled "Bar'
nard Sculptures for the Penn
j sylvania Capitol," Dickson oul
! lines the great difficulty under
| which Barnard executed the
i statues.
He said that Barnard started
with the proposal that he com
plete 67 figures within three years
for a proposed $700,000. Ham
pered by time, Dickson writes,
Barnard only completed 30 sta
tues for $lOO,OOO. Later, a special
act of legislature provided him
witli an additional $BO,OOO to pay
' debts he had incurred.
Before Barnard had finished his
work, Dickson pointed out, the
scandal over expenditures for fur
nishing the Capitol building was
in full swing. And after his work
jwas unveiled, objections to the
I nudity of the figures developed.
