Closes Concert Series
John Browning, the electri
fying American pianist, will
be heard in tlie final Concert-
Lecture series performance
here on March 22, in the Lib
eral Arts Auditorium at 8 p.m.
Browning made his bow at
the age of ten playing Mozart’s
Coronation Concerto at a spec
ial concert with the Denver
Symphony. His parents decid
ed that he should not have
the hectic career of a child
prodigy but be allowed to stu
dy and mature away trom the
limelight.
1955 he won the coveted Edgar
M. Leventritt Award which en
abled Ihim to make his brilliant
New York Philharmonic debut
in February 1956.
1956 was also the year he
bursst upon the international
scene by winning the old Med

is the famous competition
founded by Queen Elizabeth
of Belgium.

Art Exhibit By SAC Prof.
Jemison Hoskins Shown
SHEA Deleaates Attend Slate
Education Convention In Raleigh
Mr. G. Jemison Hoskins,
assistant professor of Art at
St. Andrews, is presenting an
exhibition of his oil paintings
March 14-22. The subject mat
ter ranges from figurative and
landscape to pure abstaction.
Mr. Hoskins, before coming to
St. Andrews, was assistant
professor of Art at Maryville
College in Maryville, Tenn.
He began his studies in New
York City at The School of
Art Studies in the Art Stu
dents League. Later, Mr. Hos
kins received his Masters De
gree from the University of
North Carolina.
In speaking of his work Mr.
Hoskins says he prefers paint
ing in the figurative abstract
for, as he states, “painting
should have content above the
purely plastic . . . this is more
difficult (to pull a successful
ly figurative concept) than a
pure abstract - colors, planes,
lines”.
Mr. Hoskins has retained the
enthusiasm, which he felt when
he first was offered his posi
tion here at St. Andrews.
“Next year the Art Major pro
gram will be begun” he states.
Upon asking the artist if he
had any students showing
great potential he said if he
did he wouldn’t say so, in or
der not to cast reflection on
his other pupils.
Mr. Hoskins considers him
self a mannerist, showing var
ied degrees of styles and
moods. “To be a great artist”,
believes Mr. Hoskins, “you
must have a strong personality
which can be seen in the paint
ings - an absolute inseparation
from his work”.

- tried not to become identified
with any one school but prefers
Mozart, Beethoven, Brahms and
Sohubert.
In his preference of German
and Austrian composers Brow
ning feels that he can “go
into (a study of their works)
for 30 or 40 years and never
touch bottom”.
At the same time Browning
is also a “first-rate” performer
of the moderns. He raises his
piano bench two inches higher
for Prokofiev than for Bee
thoven. Wihy? Because he
feels a higher bench helps pro
duce the percussive effects of
modern music.
iWhen Browning made his re
cital debut in Chicago last
year, Claudia Cassidy of the
Chicago Tribune said: “John
Browning has power, imagi
nation, and style. He can arch
a phrase like a projectile,
sweep up double handfulls of
piano in an immaculate glitter.
He can sense the oddly lone
ly pride of a Chopin Mazurka,
and whet will open a special
door is that he can find a
strange, widely spaced and
lonely path in the slow move
ment of a Schubert Sonata”.
The North Carolina Educa
tion Association held its annual
convention in Raleigh, on March

Tomorrow.” One point stressed
by Dr. Plemmons and others
was that the Future Teacher
Division was the most import
ant and that our position was
more vital than ever. Last but
not least on the luncheon meet
ing agenda was the nomination
and presentation of candidates
seekig office for the State Fu
ture Teachers. On Friday eve
