May 16.

EXHIBIT FEATUR
ENGEL PICTURES
Photographic Display
Now Open In Library
Fifty-one photographs by Walter
Engel, outstanding photographer, are
included in an exhibit sponsored by the
Photographic society of the University
which is now open to the public in the
central reserve room and the general
college reading room of the library.
A special small exhibit of 15 photo-.
graphs, together with a written lec
ture by Engel on howthey were obtain
ed, was received recently by the soc
iety, the lecture serving as a basis on
which Russell T. Smith of the Art de
partment based- his, own criticism of
the photographs. In the lecture, En
gel stated that it requires a mixture
of psychology, patience, and hard work
to make a posed photograph appear
candid. He gave as an example a pic
ture that he took for advertising pur
poses in which a girl in skiing clothes
was made to appear as if she were
standing on a mountain top when, in
reality, she was on the top floor of a
New York skyscraper. . .
Kot yet 30 years old, Engel began
to dabble with amateur photography
at the age of 11. Through college and
a business career, his interest in his
hobby grew, and his work ' quickly
created such a demand for his services
that he left salaried employment to
establish his own syndicate.
The exhibit, which is being put on
display at various places in the coun
try, was brought here from Salt Lake
City, Utah. It will remain open to the
public each day from 8:15 in the morn
ing to 11 o'clock at night and from 2
until" six o'clock on Sunday afternoon
until May 15. Explanatory folders are
available at, the library.
