One reason why the university

With a small amount of knowl-

v~lar Bohemian existence has

essor Fairbanks said, "sculpture

a small board 'on which were

alike many art schools, the work

students grades on their in-

Some of the eastern college students recently ejected from the coal mining districts of Kentucky are
shown in their appeal to a group of senators in Washington for a federal inquiry into conditions in Harlan
and Bell counties of Kentucky. Left to right, seated, a rc Senators ]Logan of Kentucky, Copeland of New York
and Costigan of Colorado.
More than 1,000 pieces were submit-1
ted for this showing and less than I
three hundred selected.
The students who were honored
in this way were: William Caley, l
'32 who submitted a "StAudy in thel
Nude;" Thomas El. Reed, 32 who
submitted a bust of his father, Prof.
Thomas, H, Reed, of the' political
science department; Robert Heffer-
on, '32, who entered "A Portrait of
Marguerite-Dayton;" and Helen
Bailey, '33 who submitted a figure of
St. Francis.r
Of these four Hefferson, Reed,
and Miss Bailey are still working
under Professor Fairbanks.
Although only in existence for
three years the sculpture depart-
ment has, already achieved a place
of distinction among institutions of
a similar nature. Within the state,
Professor Fairbanks indicated, our
courses are in a class with those at
Cranbrook and at the Detroit In-
,Aitute of Arts. "We can hold our
own~ with any of the foremost uni-
versities in the matter of sculpture,"
he said.
The exhibition of student work
heldt'every year in. May is the
climax of student sculpturing ef-
forts. The best work of each par-
ticipant in * the course is 'shown.
Comments on the work; completed
for the exhibition are offered each
year by a guest critic who is invited
to Ann Arbor for that purpose.
Lorado Taft and Herman A. Mac-
N eil have donie this at the exhibit s
of the two palst years3.
It is expected tU.at more than
10,000 people will see the disp lay
this year. In the first year of ex-
iste-nce of the scuipturdepartmnent
there vwere only 330 visit')rs, at the
exhibitioni.Last(year there vwere
more than 3,000. Art critics andII
others from al, over the country
are, planning to bec here this year,

that he favored the constructive of people see value in any move-

not at all interested in the many 1 hing significant will evolve 'from

destructive phases of it which hej Gothic art, he pointed out, were
encountered. "There is something' considered barbaric at one time'.
