Salemites have been wondering
about the box of paints, the easel,
the artist’s stool, and the artist
who does the water colors of
Salem. Students have seen him on
campus sketching the President’s
office on the corner, Clewell or
one of the many other Salem
buildings.
Many have stood and watched
him on route to class as he paints
his colorful pictures. This man
who portrays the spirit of Salem
in his paintings is Mr. Stewart
Archibald.
Mr. Archibald lives in East
Glouster, New York. His wife-.is
the former Miss Richards of Win
ston-Salem. Their visits with re
latives explain his frequent trips
to the campus.
Although art is his main interest,
he has also done a great deal of
traveling. He has been to Ber
muda, Hawaii, Florida, New Or
leans, Charleston and Nova Scotia.

ristown, Tenn. and is now a prac

his scenic water colors, he also
paints portraits. Much of his work
has been, exhibited in New York,

will remember the man who painted
it so realistically.
