Letters
Dear Editor,
Presently hung in DeTam-
ble Library is a collection of
prints done by Harry Martin
Meyer III. It is ironical that
this is perhaps the best collec
tion of art work to be presen
ted at St. Andrews in the last
three years. Ironical because
the lack of publicity and ac
claim evidenced is some
thing that sometimes besets
only the great.
Tlie prints have one element
that, generally, art at St. An
drews does not have, a
statement, the element which
elevates any art above the
garbage which, most of the
time, passes for art.
Within Martin’s collection,
there are four predominant,
culminating works. These
comprise the essence of Mar
tin’s work. The first is The
Prophet. This work is a
beautiful portrait of religious
ideology. The haunting
starkness in the prophet’s
stance and eyes encapsulate
an awesome search for mean
ing in the fruitlessness of ex
istence. The second work is
the Traveler. This work is an
extension of Hie Prophet, in
that it embodies a more com
plex rendering of The Prop
het’s original statement. The
third of Martin’s four most
predominant works is tiie
Inquisition. This work is an
exquisite characterization of
all the sadistic cruelty
inherant in human nature
struggling incontrevertably
with self-made salvation.
Precise and articulate, it is
comparable, theatrically, to
Ingmar Bergman’s charac
terization of Death in The
Seventh Seal.
Hie fourth of these four
selected works is Hie Af
termath. Perhaps the best of
the whole collection, it em
bodies a culminative
statement of ttie proceeding
three. It portrays the ultimate
consequence of The Prophet
and The Traveler, the
terrifying realization of what
The Ihquisition is all about,
and its own conceptual
shadow of all mankind’s self
denied reality.
The print collection of Harry
Martin Meyer III, currently
hanging in DeTamble
Library, is quite formidable in
every sense of the word. Not
only are the prints explicit and
articulate in statement, but
they are the same technically.
Hoping that these works will
not continue to be as un
publicized and unacclaimed
as they are now, I write this
review, despite the fact that
this collection is probably the
best representation of good,
genuine artwork we have seen
at St. Andrews for a long, long
time.

All Students at St. Andrews
Presbyterian College:
Hi. I’m a federal prisoner
with an unusual request. I’ll
see the Parole Board in Mar
ch. This I ask of each student.
Say a brief prayer for me and
let me know with a short note.
No signatures necessary.
It is my intention to ask the
parole board for a parole with
no restrictions. This is an
almost impossible dream. But
I want to devote myself to
urging the American public to
support my ideas for the
reduction of crime in
America. I need a no restric
tion parole.
Please help me.
In Christian Love,

you didn’t have too: you felt
by the breaking sounds they
made against you what the
poet was saying . Then it was
over. McCleod tottered
hurriedly out to Creely, leaned
over and said something to
him; you couldn’t hear what it
was - but you knew what he
said, for Creeley very gently
patted the older poet’s white
head, pulled him close, and
kissed him.
