Pliotography, Fossils; = Mules Among Hobbies
Of Butler Professors
University Departments Exchange Suggestions on y Relaxation in Show at Arthur Jordan Memorial Hall.
By VIRGINIA MOORHEAD MANNON “The Butler University professors’ Hobby Lobby Saturds night was an amazing revelation of pedagogical rela:ation. In order that Romance Languages might see
wha’ Science, History and all the rest were up to in the’
way of extra curricular “tinkering,” Dean and Mrs. Gino A. E-tti arranged a hobby show for liberal arts faculty
men ders in Arthur Jordan Memorial Hall. £ nanoramic view of the exhibit immediately set one wondering about the relation of the avocation to the subject taught. Does the sight ~f a certain number of amphibian dorsal and ventral views of quest’ ‘nable accuracy inevitably lead to escape via the clear-cut medium ~f photography? Is there something about the constant associatio with “the grandeur that was Rome,” in its dead but undying langu: ce, that impels one to seek nirvana in modefn painting? Does a che istry professor's wife become a modern Penelope to quiet her a 1s she brecods over the possibility of her spouse's being blown to bits Hy some student's daring experiment? P:sident James W. Putnam, who confesses that his grandchildr 1 are his latest hobby, admits that his earliest—attempting to train ; mule—has stood him in good stead in his teaching career. While vorking in the garden is Mrs. Putnam's greatest joy, .her lovely ¢ld quilts, thousand-eye glass and handleless cups more than Justify aer hobby of collecting family heirlooms. :
‘Som. sthing Made Out of Nothing’
Mas; of the masculine faculty members concurred in Dean Ratti’s confession that he loves making something out of nothiny, He made a boat house last summer out of odds and ends picked ip in and around a lake, the only purchase necessary being the nail;., Dr. Henry G. Nestor, zoology professor, exhibited a comprehensive collection of phctographs taken on trips to Glacier Nationgl Park, Cal, Banff and Lake Louise and Louisiana. Professor Nathar E. Pearson managed to find time on a zoological expedition to Souih America to acquire hand-woven ponchos in Kuzco and Cajam: rca, Peru, hand-woven saddle bags, laces and panama hats of nove’ design. And just to prove it’s all authentic he has photographs 3f natives doing the work. Wt le James H. Peeling, political science professor, dips into photog: aphy, collecting rare travel accounts, interior decorating, gardening and “just tinkering” Mrs. Peeling concentrates on oil paintings off children’s toys. A checked gingham elephant with forelegs proppec on a stack of brightly colored disc blocks is entitled “Bobby's Favorit.” “Bosco, Tags) Rags and a Little Red Ball” is acheartwarming stuc v of two wire haired terriers and Bosco—who is merely a dog. Dr. Guy H. Shadinger, chemistry department head, collects delicate Ja anese prints made on cherry wood and printed on mulberry fibre. "he work of three artists is required in making a print, he explaincd. Mrs. Shadinger, whose hobby is weaving, is using a deck of card: as a loam for weaving gaily colored belts. Of pure angora cut fror1 rabbits fmported irom Asia Minor she has woven a scarf, indescrisably soft. William Morris’ raw silk from England combined wth angora fashions another lovely scarf. .
Loves to ‘Get Rid of Things’
Pro:. Henry M. Gelston, who more than a decade. ago issued a ‘memora jle assignment to translate an Horatian Ode into English poetry, salves hic conscience and seeks sanctuary from classroom and athletic committee duties by making delightful pastels and water color studies. Several scenes of Crystal Lake and Frankfort, Mich. were included in his hobby exhibit Saturday evening. Mrs. Gelston’s hobby to end all hobbies is laconically stated—*“I love to get rid of gs! Music, collecting fossils and writing children’s. books keep Dr. John Pcizger’s mind ‘clear for the further pursuit of algae, (fungi, . pistils ad stamens. German Prof. Milton D. Baumgartner spends his odd fime looking out for birds ahd announced he had seen a Hutchin= goose, unusual in this section of the country, Saturday morning, Other hobbies included Miss Florence Morrison’s scrapbooks of modern Spanish art and folk music, Miss Corinne Welling’s dog. Mrs. Jares Price’s quilts and crocheted tablecloths, Miss Martha Kincaid’: seed catalogues and Miss Sarah Sisson’s valentinés. When one yours gz faculty wife shyly announced her hobby was making cookies h=r husband. promptly. countered that his was. staying under the 250-pound mark. 2 8 » 2 = »
