WATER, WATER, EVERYWHERE. . . But this liquid is not for drinking.
This liquid-filled spiral coil is actually part of a rotavapor, an apparatus
used to condense solutions. A common sight in chemistry labs, this
particular rotavapor was found in Dr. Gerald Rosen's molecular
pharmacology laboratory in the Bell Building. (Photo by Parker Herring)

You’re never too old,
exhibit says
Information about the Center for the
Study of Aging and Human Development
is included in an exhibit currently being
shown in the gallery of Perkins Library.
The exhibit, entitled "Never Too Old
To Learn," features information about
the Institute for Learning in Retirement
(see Intercom, 8/18/78) and photographs
showing members of the institute in
class, enjoying social events and engaging
in artistic activities.
In a display discussing the concept of
life-long learning, Titian, Pope John
XXIII, Rubenstein and others are cited as
examples of "oldsters" who have
continued to be productive.
One case in the exhibit is devoted to the
history of the Flowers House on East
Campus told through the pictures from
the university archives and a narrative by
Dr. William King, university archivist.
This building houses the Institute for'
Learning in Retirement.
The exhibit will remain on display until
mid-October.
Small stones may fill gaps
(Continued from page 1)
to establish a set of artists who did the
various stones, of which almost 4,000 are
in European museum collections.
Another 400 are attested to by the
discovery of the clay seal but not the
stone itself.
Many of the stones were found in
archaeological digs. Others, particularly
in the 19th century, were acquired from
peasants who had found them in fields
and ruins.
The peasants often used the stones,
especially those of the red carnelian, as
"blood-stayers," Younger said. They
would press the stone on a cut to stop the
bleeding.
Semi-precious stones — agate and
carnelian from India,_ lazuli from
Afghanistan and native rock crystal,
serpentine, hematite and amethyst —
were used for the sealstones.
The stones were perforated for
stringing and were worn as necklaces and
bracelets. Some were made into rings.
Besides preparing for the seminars.
Younger is working on a five-volume
study of the stones. One volume will be
devoted to the criteria he used in
establishing an identity for his 55 master
artists.
Younger does not know their real
names, so he has given them names
related to their work, as "The Triplet
Master," because he always portrayed
goats running in threes, and "The Flat-
Face Master," because all his bulls have
flat faces.
Younger said he expected reaction to
this work from his fellow-scholars at
Marburg to "range from incredulity to
downright scoffing."
