During opening session. Dr.

on international law and the
idea of a “World Rule of
Law,” a phase referring to
French Directoire Is
On Exhibit In Gallery
An exhibit of silk and print
ed textiles of the French Di
rectoire and Empire periods
is being shown in the Exhibit
Gallery on the campus of
North Carolina Wesleyan Col
lege for a three-week period.
This exhibit is being lent
to the college by the Sc^la-
mandre Museum of Textiles
in New York. An exhibit of
Renaissance textiles from the
same collection was shown
at the college last year and
set an attendance record for
the college’s exhibits which
has never been broken.
The gallery hours are as
follows: 9:00-9:00 Monday-Fri-
day, 9:00-2:00 Saturday, and
2:00-5:00 Sunday. The Exhibit
Gallery is located in Room
189, Pearsall BuUding. The
exhibit is open to the public
and there is no admission
charge.
The textiles comprise shim
mering silks in satin, da
mask, lampas and velvet
weaves. Napoleon had no
liking for dull textured
weaves. He preferred silk
textiles that radiated a luster.
Satin was selected because of
its sheen and silk velvet be
cause of its richness and dra
matic effects of highlights and
deep shadows when draped
in folds.
The nine-year period of
the Directoire and Consulate
(1795-1804), like its predeces
sor, the Neo-Classic era of
Louis XVI, was based upon
ancient classicism with em
phasis upon the Grecian in
fluence. The textiles designs
'Show considerable sophistica
tion in their portrayal.
The Napoleonic textiles
were masculine and bold in
scale. The colors were of jewel
like brilliancy that was es
pecially noticeable in the dra
matic stripes. The Empress
Josephine’s favorite color was
a softened French blue and
the swan her personal em
blem. Roses were her favor
ite flower and as a co>nse-
quence wore much in evi
dence.
The toiles de Jouy con
tinued to be designed by
Huet and printed by Ober-
kampf. Printing from en
graved copper plates was in
troduced in 1801 and as a
result, the repeats of the
design became smaller since
they were now limited in
length to the circumference
of the cylinder.
The decorative arts of the
Empire possessed a colorful
and grandiose magnificence
devised to imprests foreign
dignitaries and the French
multitude. The French had
been accustomed to witness
ing grandeur under the old
regime and Napoleon was
desirious of making it more
so. As an emperor, he deem
ed it necessary to be sur
rounded by a panoply of pomp
and ostentation.
The exhibit will be on dis
play through Feb. 28, 1964.
the agreement upon a legal
machinery, rather than force,
to settle disputes between
nations, will be the speaker.
Dr. Larson served as Under
secretary of Labor, Director
of the United States Informa
tion Agency, and as Special
Assistant to the President.
He was also President Eisen
hower’s chief speech writer
and special consultant on
Rule of Law.
The major address of the
session will be delivered by
Dr. Tram Van Chuong who
served as the Ambassador
to the United States from
Viet Nam until August 22,
1963, when he resigned be
cause of the repressing mea
sures being taken by the
Diem Regime againist the
Buddist. Dr. Chuong is also
the father of Madame Nhu.
