"Teaching ought to be one of the most respected of the pro- fessions," Prof. Lohwater said, "because it deals with a com- modity more valuable than any other profession-the minds of our youth." There should be a greater liaison between the academic community and the teachers of children, he said, with academicians taking a greater part in setting up a pro- gram for certification of teachers. Having visited Russia twice,1 Prof. Lohwater said he had been impressed by the interest displayed by the academic community in the school children of the country. of these hand drawn illustrations are on exhibit at the library, as are several copies of pages from the actual text. Show Calendar Plates One of the most interesting parts of the display is a group of plates, copied from the calendar con- tained in the original. For each season, there is a full page illus- tration portraying a particular as- pect of time accompanying the regular calendar of dates. The illustration portraying spring is a picture of plowing. Summer is represented by a group of farmers cutting green hay. Characteristic of autumn is a pic- ture of peasants picking grapes, while winter is symbolized by a nobleman enjoying a feast in frontj of a roaring fire. sis on the Bible, there are numer- ous scenes from both the Old and New Testaments in the exhi- bition. Included in the selections from the Old Testament are scenes showing the blessing of Jacob by his father, Abraham, described in the Book of Genesis, and the famous meeting between King Solomon and the Queen of Sheba. Depict Tower of Babel There is a rather detailed sketch of the construction of the Tower of Babel, reminiscent of photo- graphs recording the erection of a large modern skyscraper. In the selection from the New Testament is a picture of the birth of Christ, complete with adoring shepherds and multitudes of an- gels, singing praises to the new- born Child. As is the case with most other nativity scenes, the Virgin and the Child, radiant, with halos above their heads, occupy the center of the piece.I Other New Testament scenes are "THE TRINITY" . . symbolic representation United States immigration prac- ing into the country are assisting tices and policy was the topic for discussion at Sunday's Student the economy because they are con- Government Council seminar. sumers.

Country Is Shifting According to another participant in the discussion, the country is shifting from a "melting pot" to a "unity of diversities with little cultural islands." There is a tendency to stay at / the status quo in immigration pol- y icy, Arthur Rosenbaum, '60, said, since any influx of immigrants presents a challenge to the coun- Dear Impatience: try.

Show Theological Art Three other pictures are repre- sentative of the symbolic theologi- cal art of the Middle Ages, which attempted to portray to the gen- erally uneducated mass of believ- ers, complex theological truths. There is a picture of the Trinity, showing two identical men, one a large cross. A dove flies between a large cross. The men represent respectively God the Father and God the Son. The dove represents the Holy Spirit, as mentioned in the Gospel of John. Represent Heaven Scene Another picture depicts a scene in Heaven, in which the Trinity is shown, surrounded by worship- ping angels. The last in the series illustrates the "Ascension of the Souls of the Righteous," the goal of all of the faithful of the Church. One last medieval ideal is evi- denced by a series of pictures on the life of the Virgin Mary. In- cluded among the six pictures are scenes of the Annunciation and the Adoration of the Magi. Displayed with the pictures, the text contains the actual devotional guides, hymns and stories which were necessary for the liturgy of the medieval church. Have Ornate Lettering The manuscripts, written in Latin, have very ornate lettering l in the fashion of the monkish copyist of the day. The illuminated manuscript contains a profusion of gold leaf along with other rather intricate inked designs. The decoration usually has no purpose other than to beautify the text, although in a few case, there are cameo sized pictures of the subject. The exhibition is to remain on public display until the end of the month when it will be replaced by a collection of early maps. Health Grop Picks Leaders Officers and members of the Board of Trustees of the Michigan Health Council were elected at the! organization's recent annual meet- ing which was held in East Lans- ing. Accepts Presidency Elected president was Dr. Otto K. Engelke, Director of the Wash- tenaw County Health Department- University Vice-President and Dean of Faculties Marvin L. Nie- huss was chosen President-elect of the Health Council. Dr. Engelke, in accepting the presidency, said that one of the main activities of the Council during 1959 will be to launch a! health careers program in Michi- gan. Non-Profit Organization One of their most important functions is the placement of doc- tors, dentists and veterinarians in Michigan communities where they are needed. The Michigan Health Council is a non-profit, voluntary health edu- cation organization engaged in many state-wide health projects.
