Paul Haensel of Univeraity of William M. Savoy ha·s been appointed at Winnetka April4 Vernal Freshness Moscow to Teach at Summer School manager of the fuel department of There is a springlike freshness about the Evanston University guild's newest art exhibit at the Orrington which is both becoming to the season and stimulating to the senses Recently a collection of paintings from ·the Chicago Artists' exhibition held not .long ago at the Art institute was hung at the Georgian, and only a fortnight ago the Evanston Woman's club had its annual art '3how and disolaved items from 't he institute show. This ldt son1ewhat lean "pickings" for the guild display, but dispite this handicap there is a collection of canvases there that will lend new vigor to a jaded life if one will take the elevator to the ballroom floor of the Orrington and spend a half hour or longer there. Showa Modern Influence There is evidence of good balance in the ~hoice of paintings. There are some departures from the traditional schools-a few of them decidedly socalled "moderns," and the show as a whole show~ the increasing tendency to be not sparing of color and to be bold of stroke and sparing of detail. Year by year there is evidence in these regional artists' collections that extremes in the "modern" are modifying themselves, and that there is being gradual transition from the old to the new with a development that is less abrupt among the sterling, dependable painters, but quite as apparent a willmgness to take what is good from the new as there is among the radicals to discard all but the grotesque. Striking this happy mean, for example, is the "Bridle Path-Oak Street Bea.ch" painting by Charles E. Mullen, a Picture that appeals with particular force to the writer because of clear vigorous fresh "feel" of the scene it~ familiarity and its color and tomposition. It is able to plunge the person experienced in the atmosphere of the ac.tual locality immediately into it. Directly opposite the ballroom entrance are two striking canvases. one ~ Peyraud.· the other Frank V. Dudley's T~~ Wmd and the Willows," a stn~mg stretch of field in the brilliant gold of growing mustard, and willows bent to weather the wind. That has motion and vigor and glow of color that are quite lovely. A Symbolic Picture On the east wall, too, hangs Loutfi }asqu~s' mystic "Prelude," symbolism to whtch each must bring his own interpretation, his own meaning-fascinatmg and thought-provoking. Around the corner north is hung Joseph Birren's "May Time," and the countryversed and wood-wise feel the "heimweh" for spring hawthorn and crabap~le and the other sweet smells of sp~·!ls.t w~ods. rush over winter-jaded sp1nts w1th Its approach. One goes on to find the prize canvas "The Children's Boat'," by Richard A. Chase. !ln .empl<;>~me.nt of clear color and skill ~n 1ts uttl~zahon that has resulted in a JOYOUS thmg, Fran.cis Chapin, whose "Belmont Harbor." was a purchase last seasot · by !he gutld and hangs at Haven school JUSt now, has since been painting abroad, and his "The Edge of Mont P.arnasse" offers interesting study in hts progress. Florence White \Villiams has done a delightful color compound in her uPottery Market," and Willmovsky's uAn Idyll" is to the undersigned one of the show's high points. -I. F. D.

Hollister of Wilmette is spending a few days at French Lick Springsr Ind. Courses in Russian economic institutions and in comparative finance will be given during the summer session ·at Northwestern university by Dr. Paul Haensel, former member of the University of Moscow faculty, Dr. Clyde L. Grose, director of the summer session .announces this week This eminent visitor to Northwestern has held many governmental and professional posts in addition to his academic work. He was a member of the council (board of directors) of the Imperial State Bank of Russia, was a representative of the ministry of finance both in tsarist times and tinder the provisional government of 1917, and from 1915 to 1917 was central Russian commissioner of fuel with quasi-dictatorial rights.

Mr. Savoy for several years was combustion engineer on the north shore for the ByProducts C o k e cor p ·o ration of Chicago. Before · coming to the north shore, he was combustion engineer in Hammond, Indiana and Chicago. Mr. Savoy says: W. M. Savoy "We are inaugurating a plan for heating homes which has never been known to the history of the coal industry and hope to announce thi'3 plan to the public soon. We will install huge oil tanks, and when the changes are complete this company will have the most complete and modern yard and service on the north shore." · Seniors Stare Brilliant Ball at Edgewater Hotel The weather man in his ugliest mood failed to dim the brilliance of the annual senior ball of Northwestern university which was held "off campus" for the first time in the history of the school last Friday. It rained, snowed and blustered as the time for the ball arrived, but once the ·co-eds had passed under the sheltering canopie·3 of the Edgewater Beach hotel and had reached the dazzling confines of the crystal ball room, all thoughts of the elements were lost. And well they might be in view of the party that awaited them. Away at last from the sports atmosphere that has pervaded former parties in the gymn~sium, the 450 couples danced for five hours. There were two major intermissions in the dancing, one for the grand march and the other for refreshments. More than 120 can~ases executed by members of the North Shore Art league during the past year will be exhibited at the annual meeting of the league, opening Thursday, April 4, at the Winnetka Community House. Purchase prizes will be awarded, the winners to be selected by popular vote and a jury. Dr. Von Ogden .Vogt, pastor of the First Unitarian church of Chicago, is to be the guest of honor at the meeting and banquet which will officially open the exhibition, at 7 o'clock on the evening of April 4. The Swigart trio of \Vilmette will furnish the mu sic. Following its policy of encouraging the development of art along the north shore, Lionel Robertson, president of the league, announces a poster contest for the high schools of (he north shore. Exhibits are being entered from New Trier and Deerfield-Shields schools. A jury composed of Allen Philbrick, Mrs. James Cady Ewell, anrl Miss Anna Helga Hong has been selected to judge the posters.
