Library Exhibit Case Discloses
Various Organizations
Interesting Hobbies of Faculty
To Meet Next Week
International Relations Club
to Have Panel Discussion
All students who are Interested In
keeping up on foreign affairs of the
day should note that the Internation Relations club meeting which
will be conducted this Tuesday at
3:30 o'clock in the Lounge of Richardson hall.
At that time, there will be a panel
discussion on the subject of "Solidarity In the Western Hemisphere."
Speakers will be Robert Martin,
Kenneth Haser, and Haskell Rosenberg, juniors.
The topic of the panel forum
concerns the question of unity between North and South American
nations.
Spanish Club
Charles Rundle, president, has announced that there will be a meeting
of the Spanish dub Thursday at
7:30 o'clock in the Lounge. Mrs.
Mitchell cf Albany will tell about
her experiences in South America.
Following Mrs. Mitchell's address,
refreshments will be served. All
State students are invited to attend.
Pi Gamma Mu
Pi Gamma Mu, national honorary
society for social studies students,
will conduct a tea Wednesday from
3:30 to 5:30 o'clock in the Lounge.
Mrs. Martha Egleston, instructor in
history, is the faculty sponsor for
this society.
There will be entertainment with
Franklin Kehrig, '39, in charge of
the program. The student body is
invited to attend.
As you've walked up to the stair's
leading to the library, you have
probably noticed standing alongside
the railing a glass-Inclosed case.
Even more probably, you have
stepped over for a moment to look
into the case, for it is there that
have been housed the many library
exhibits that have for the past few
years caught and held the attention
of State college students.
The exhibit case has been party
of the library since 1934 when the
new library was equipped. It is
Miss Helen James, librarian, who
plans the exhibits, gathers together,
and, for the most part, arranges
the material. Arts, crafts, and hobbies, particularly, have been subjects
of display.
It would be impossible to describe
all the displays since 1934, but just
consider these as representative.
1934 Russian arts and crafts—the
first exhibit.
1935 Old New York State Normal
diplomas—back to 1847.
1936 Coronation material — collected by Dr. Candlyn.
1937 Relics of ancient civilizations
of South America — lent by Dr.
^Stewart, a member of our summer
school faculty.
1938 Dolls from foreign nations—
a collection of graduate students.
Specially commented upon for its
beauty and interest Is the latest exhibit of Jugoslavian fabric designs
contributed by Miss Ruth E. Hutchins, assistant professor of fine arts.
The costume designs were sketched
by Miss Hutchins while working in
the Ethnographical museum in Zagreb, Jugoslavia.
Various exhibits have also revealed
hobbies of several members of our
faculty. Dr. South, for example, has
a valuable collection of American
glass and China. Miss Moreland,
while traveling through Russia,
gathered together Russian peasant
dolls. Dr. Morris has contributed her
collections of bookplates, and Mr.
Jones, interested in James Joyce, has
made the collection of material on
that man his hobby.
