Art Room Gets
$1000 Book Gift
The smile of fortune irradiated
the Art Room this week to the
tune of one thousand dollars
worth of books, of which Dr.
Krautheimer is the delighted re-cipient.
The fairy godfathers in
this instance are Mr. Bernard
Flexner, ex-Louisvillian, now a
lawyer in New York, who donated
half the sum and the Carnegie
Foundation which supplied the
remainder. Due to the interest of
Mr. Morris Belknap the art li-brary
is continually increasing its
size, but so far no gift of such
magnitude had been received.
Dr. Kent, after discussing the
matter with Dr. Krautheimer and
Mr. Belknap, has decided to delay
the official opening of the Art
Room to the general public until
next fall. The opening was
originally scheduled for Tuesday,
June 9.
At present the exhibit in the
Art Room is composed of the
drawings of Mary Nay’s class in
the Division of Adult Education
and the home economics class.
