ABOUT THE CAMPUS
ART EXHIBIT
   Iowa fields, Iowa hills, Iowa woods are beautiful, and Iowa artists have the eyes to see the artistry and to interpret their beauty. This becomes evident to one who visits the exhibition of paintings by the Iowa Art guild, on the third floor of the physics building. The privilege of seeing this exhibit should be appreciated by summer school students, for the pictures were to have remained at the University only during the month of June.
   The Iowa Art guild is an association of Iowa artist having as their aim the embodiment in art of the beauties that our own state has to offer. Their exhibition contains about thirty paintings, a number of which are of local scenes and people. Many Iowa City artist and alumni of the University are represented, including Prof. C.A. Cumming, head of the art department.
   Among the paintings of peculiar interest are Prof. Cumming’s landscapes, The Berryhill Farm, and A Road Through the Woods. The latter is explicit in tone and color, and truly expressive of the feeling of the out-of-doors.
   On the same floor the art students are at work. Twenty-six are enrolled in the department, taking courses in perspective, mechanical drawing, painting, free-hand drying, and home economics designing. The many interesting and attractive displays of work done in the department seem to promise that the beauties of Iowa are not soon to want for artistic interpretation.

VICTORY MEDALLION FOR RANNEY LIBRARY
   A victory medallion designed by the American sculptor Paul Manship, has just been hung in the Ranney Memorial library. This medallion which is of bronze mounted on ebony is 2 1-2 by 3 inches. Mr. Manship presented the right of sale of the medallion to the artist’s relief fund.
   The medallion represents an armed figure of Columbia who with drawn sword is silhouetted against the rising sun of hope. The interpretation is that Columbia is leading the hosts of civilization onward.

RED CROSS OFFICIAL SEEKS HOME WORKERS
   Dr. T. L. Gillan, head of the central division of the home service and civilian relief work of the Red Cross, was here yesterday discussing with University officials arrangements for the training of home service workers.
   The education of home service workers is a part of the peace-time program of the Red Cross. The work here would be given through the sociology department and the extension division.
   Dr. Gillan was formerly connected with the sociology department of the University.

   Beatrice Beam returned yesterday from the Tri-cities where she spent a few days visiting friends.
