By CARL JORDAN Did you ever wonder what a Japanese tea house was really for and how the tradition originated? Tea drinking was first prac- ticed by Buddhist monks to keep awake during meditation in study halls, then later in connection with other ceremonies. Gradually it developed into a gathering to discuss the artistic merits of certain objects, such as a scroll painting, bowl and flower arrangements, or the treasured utensils of the tea service.

Implements of the tea ceremony are displayed also. The exhibit is organized histori- cally. The first pictures are of a Shinto shrine of a century B. C. Shinto was the original, and still is the dominating religion of Jap- an. Expression of Religion A member of thecommittee which organized the exhibition said the Shinto religion is ex- pressed in the architecture. Shinto is a veneration of na- ture, and a oneness of humans, trees, animals, and all nature. This is expressed by the simplicity of the architecture, importance of gardens, and the effort to achieve unity with the house and the gar- den. The early priests gathered in mystic glens or by waterfalls, not to pray, but to contemplate and meditate. Rebuilt Periodically The Shinto shrine is torn down and rebuilt every 20 years because in Shinto, nature does not make monuments, but lives and dies, always renewed and reborn. The display contains many views of the Imperial Palace in Kyoto, including the moon-view- ing platform. The Imperial Palace exemplifies Japanese architecture at the height of its esthetic devel- opment. An outstanding feature of the old architecture is that the build- ings are exclusively wood and are built on short stilts because of the many heavy rains and earth- quakes. The houses themselves are very simple, and flexible. Often, only a removable screen or panel di- vides the rooms, or the inside from the garden. Again this is part of the oneness with nature. Lack of Furniture There is a lack of furniture withinrthe dwellings. All people, including the old emperors, sat on the mats, or tatami, placed on the floor. The rooms were kept as bare as possible. If a piece of fur- niture was not being used, it was put away. A visitor might have entered during midday, and seen no furniture at all. It was stored in "niches" cov- ered by panels. This idea is ex- pressed in modern American de- TONIGHT at 8 Department of Speech Presents MOLIERE'S ROLLICKING COMEDY THE SCHOOL FOR WIVES $1.50-- $1.10-- 75c LYDIA MENDELS$OHN THEATRE -Daily-Richard Bloss KYOTO PALACE--Esthetic development is shown in this photomural in the Rackham Galleries. sign by sliding doors, simple and not space consuming as swinging doors. There is an example of a special niche set aside for a trea- sured art work of the family. Rooms were measured, not in feet, but by the number of mats they contained. A wealthy man might have a "five tatami room." As you follow the exhibit around, you come next to the Buddhistic influence from China. Buddhism regarded being in the world as an art requiring a great personal discipline. Therefore, the environment is organized in ac- cord with austere philosophies. But in the Buddhist pagodas, the original Japanese art is still strong, with the overall simplicity in the curving roofs, but inlaid with intricate detail. The result is neither Buddhistic, nor Shinto, but a beautiful combination of both. Gardens play an important part all through Japanese architecture. They contain almost no grass, but many rocks and sand arranged into patterns. 4 Some of the most interesting pictures at the exhibit arey of the gardens. The Japanese loved trees, and would lovingly pluck out the dead needles of a pine tree one by one. They also liked to collect in- teresting stones for thei' gardens while on a hike, or just perhaps contemplate them and be at peace with nature. The exhibit ends with the ef- forts to blend modern architecture with the traditional Japanese. This presents a great problem, for wooden construction materials and mobility of walls are inherent in the old style. Modern buildings require cement and immobility. The two are not yet ready to adapt to each other, but progress has been made. One thing that is lacking in the exhibit is color. If you have ever seen the beau- tiful greens, golds, and jades in Japanese architecture, you will miss them here. But the exhibit is worthwhile and complete, and gives the casual visitor an insight, not only into elementary archi- tecture, but history, religion, and the Japanese people.

Boys, of the English department, an- nouniced here today'. The foundation was incorpor- ated under Michigan laws on July 8 at the first meeting of its board of directors, following a grant of $241/2 million from Ford Foun- dation. Superseding the National Wood- row Wilson Fellowship program (originated at Princeton Univer- sity in 1945), the foundation is dedicated to helping superior stu- dents enter the teaching profes- sion. Prof. Boys, the foundation's national director, indicated its offices will remain temporarily in Ann Arbor, where they have "been for the past year. He reported that five fellowships from the new foundation's funds have been granted to University students for graduate work this fall, and that 12 students from other institutions will study here under the program. Candidates for fellowships are nominated by local faculties and then interviewed by a regional committee made up from diverse fields.
