monetary aid in the resolution calling for the use of U.S.
military forces to resist Communist aggression in the
Middle East.

Booklet Focuses Attention
On Martin Ruter* SU Founder
A booklet entitled “Martin Ru-
ler: Pioneer in Methodist Educa-
tion’’ by Dr. John O. Gross of
Nashvile, Tennessee has recently
been published. It focuses atten-
tion upon a man and an era that
were important in the development
of the church-related college.
Dr. Gross is the general secre-
tary of the Division of Educational
Institutions of the Board of Educa-
tion of the Methodist church with
headquarters at Nashville. Tenn.
The address that Gross delivered
at the dedicatory services for Mar-
tin Ruter dormitory at Southwest-
ern University became the nucleus
for this publication.
In the introduction to the book-
let, Bishop A. Frank Smith, Meth-
odist bishop of the Houston-San
Antonio area, says, “Martin Ruter
was one of the most capable and
versatile men living in that first
generation of the life of the Meth-
odist Episcopal church. It may
with equal propriety be said that
he was one of the ablest Americans
in that same first generation of the
life of the American nation. The
story of his remarkable career is
the story of that which gave the
infant Republic foundation, stabili-
ty, direction and assurance, as
participated in by churchmen,
statesmen, educators, professional
men, businessmen and farmers’’.
Martin Ruter was a many-talent-
ed man: pastor, presiding elder,
college president, publishing agent,
missionary, linguist, at home in the
arts and sciences, and the first
Methodist preacher In' America to
receive the honorary degree of
Doctor of Divinity. He came from
Pennsylvania to Texas in 1837 and
was responsible for the founding of
the first college in Texas, named
Rutersville college, later becoming
Southwestern University.

gallery of the Alma Thomas Fine
Arts center at Southwestern Uni-
versity is an exhibit e n t 1 t 1 e ci
PAINTINGS PRIOR TO 1860.
These paintings c o rn p r i esan
UNESCO traveling exhibition of
50 reproductions representing im-
portant periods and phases o f
painting from medieval times to
the mid-19th century. Several sets
of the exhibition were prepared by
UNESCO for world-wide circula-
tion in the 63 nations using the
UNESCO series.
In the United States, PAINT-
INGS PRIOR TO 1860 will travel
to museums and art institutions
under the auspices of the Ameri-
can Federation of Arts.
Selection of the examples in this
exhibition was based on the high
quality of the reproductions as
well as on the importance of the
artists included, all of whom hold
established places in the history of
art.

The Chaplain Offers
Literafure Counselling
On Moral Problems
Chaplain Switzer told The MEG-
APHONE Thursday that he is of-
fering to SU students the loan of
several of his books concerning the
building of a healthy code of living.
These books arc “Men, Women,
and Morals’’, Sylvanus Duvall;
“The Human Venture in Sex, Love,
and Marriage’’, Peter A. Butocci;
and “If You Marry Outside Your
Faith’’, Janus Pike.
Reports on dormitory comment
and personal conversations reflect,
thinks Switzer, a desire and “in-
terest on the part of sincere young
people to work out an intelligent
and sound moral code’’.
Switzer also stated that he had
other material in the form of books
and tests for those interested in
p r e-marital counselling. These
books are available on a loan basis.
Switzer also offers to give the tests
to anyone interested in such coun-
sel.

GENERAL PATTON
Get-well messages have been
sent to General Patton at his res-
idence, 804 East 12th street, where
he has been recovering from a
throat operation performed by a
local veterinarian. He (General
Patton) is a dog.
For many years General Patton
has made his home with Luther
J. Waggoner, professor of history
at Southwestern University. Just
how old General is nobody knows.
He did not come to the campus
with Waggoner in 1929.
In speaking of General’s age,
Waggoner says. “He’s so old he
is sensitive about his age. How-
ever, his eyebrows are turning
grey.”

clings to the “Calling of The Apos-
tles Peter and Andrew’’ by the
Siennese painter Duccio. The
emergence from the medieval at-
titude and the evolution and cul-
mination of Renaissance art in the
15th and 16th centuries in Italy
may be seen in the pictures of Uc-
cello, Ghirlandajo, Filippino Lippi,
Piero della Francesca and Ra-
phael, and in those of the more
lyric, sensuous Venetians — Gio-
vanni Bellini. Titian and Tintoret-
to.
During the 15th and 16th centur-
ies. the struggle between native
gothicism and Renaissance hum-
anism was manifested in Germany
in the works of Lochiner, Cranach,
Durer and Holbein, and in Flan-
ders in those of Jan van Eyck,
Memling, Massy s and Brueghel,
all of whom are represented in tho
exhibition.
The mystic mannerism of El
Greco carries the presentation of
reproductions in 17th century and
Spain as does the impersonal stylo
of Diego Velasquez. Rubens, Rem-
brandt and Vermeer represent
Dutch and Flemish schools of 17th
century. From the 18th are Rey-
nolds, Chardin and Blake. The psy-
chological explorations of the 20th
century are forecast by Honor*
Daumier.
The exhibit runs until Jan. 24.
