Henderson’s whis ker-free face is too well known whereveß the Weekly circulates! to make it necessary to identify Shaw by word, left; Yesterday, Thursday the 15th of November, was the day of publication of Henderson’s final and complete biography of Shaw. Here in Chapel Hill there was a triple celebration of the event: a speech by Henderson at right in Gerrard Hally a reception after ward in his honor in the assem bly room of the Library, and an, of Shaw books anil arti-i t\<Mr letters, postcards, nmnu- i scripts, and memoranda in his handwriting, and pictures of him R. L. Humber Tells Faculty Club About Creation of N. C. State Art Collection Robert Lee Humber, president of the North Carolina State Art Society, delighted the Faculty Club at its luncheon Tuesday with a talk about the new State Art Museum in Raleigh. The North Carolina Legisla ture set a precedent among the states of the Ueion v appropri ating in 194'/ a milfTon quilaiV for the purchuse of works of art.[ This followed the offer of a mil-! lion dollars for the same purpose by the Kress Foundation on the condition that the gift would be matched by the State.

All of the division chairmen have asked for more time to complete the solicitations for the drive which has a goal of $27,-| 937.67, he added.

C. 64. The Chapel Hill Weekly 5 Cents a Copy by many photographers, illustra tors, and caricaturists. In a period of half a century, 1 assistance till his death six years ago, Henderson has written five books and more than a hundred essays and arti cles about him. The continuous j biography of a living person over so long a time is probably with out parallel in the history of literature. In his speech last night Hen derson took what he called "a cursory glance at Shaw's chief ‘qualities and major accomplish- 1 ments.” He said (in part): “Shaw’s career was the most fascinating ‘romance’ of this cen tury, a super-success story: the stirring adventures of a writer who begins with lamentable fail !

At the time North Carolina be- I'gan to build up its collection, said .'Mr. Humber, many of the great | collections of "old masters’’ in ('Europe and America were integrating; that is, were being ! broken up by sales to be scatter-: led among public and private gal-i i Dries all over the civilized world. I Thus the State had to get some ■ of them “now or never.” Fascinating passages in Mr. Humber’s talk were about se lections and purchases of pie-| tures —the searches, the careful| examinations by experts, the in terviews with owners and agents,! the bargaining so that the avail- 1 able money might go as far as possible. He paid a tribute to Clemens! Sommer of the University, art department for his part in this work. One example of an acquisition was a celebrated painting by John Singleton Copley which had stayed in W. R. Hearst’s castle in Wales for four years after Hearst’s death and then came into North Carolina’s possession,! through legal complications and' the whims of heirs at a price far ! lower than had been thought pos sible. Another acquisition cited hy| ■ Mr. Humber was a painting of; 'Joan of Arc by Rubens that wasl bought from a Danish family which had had it for three cen turies. Mr. Humber said that the num ber of persons who had visited the Museum since it opened iast spring had gone above 43,000 and !that the daily attendance was' steadily growing.

In the late afternoon, on the way home from having anti freeze put in our car, we stopped for a little cali on the Oscar Hamiltons. When we came home, shivering in the dusk, our spirits were suddenly lifted by the sight of a great cluster of flowers leaning against our front door. It was made up of gorgeous yellow chrysanthe mums, and in the midst of these, like jewels in a set ting of gold, were dark red ivelevty roses. There was no card with the gift and we wondered who had put it there. A little later we found out by telephone: it was our neighbor across Battle lane, Felix Hickerson. * * * For the thirty-five and a half years that I have lived on Battle lane I have passed the President’s House at least twice a day and on [many days several times, and in the last fifteen years 1 have always given it an attentive look to set* if if appeared to be occupied. 1 doubt if any university in the country has had a president’s house that has contained the president such a small part of the time since the beginning of World War II as ours has. This was [due to the demands that the ! United States Government made for the help first of Frank I*. Graham and then of Gordon Gray. The Board of Trustees didn’t like to do without either one of them but couldn’t refuse the ur gent appeals from the White House. So they were both 'off on long leaves of ab [sence.

Mr. Bond was on hand to , help Mr. Friederieh tell Miss Faison that a surprise gift was being planned for her. When she didn’t faint somebody asked her if she had already heard some thing about it. “Not a word,” Miss Faison replied. "I didn’t have the slightest idea anything like this was going on.” The $1,500 goal was far over-! subscribed, and a check for $2,000 was presented to Miss Faison ut! yesterday’s surprise party, it! was still a surprise party since she had no idea she was going to bo given a trip to Europe. j More checks are still coining in, and they will also be pre sented to Miss Faison.

Mi-s Georgia Faison, is going to retire this coming June. 1 It is surely not necessary to recapitulate what we all owe to Miss Faison: we know that suf ficiently well as we look back over the years during which she was of immense help not only to us, but also to our graduate students. She has made our pro-) ductive scholars beneficiaries of more instances of graciously given help and advice than any of us can ever remember. ! "We want to give Miss Faison .a farewell gift which will reflect 'the intense gratitude we feel towards her—namely an all paid trip of several months to Europe, from the British Isles land France to Scandinavia and Switzerland, and, God and you willing, to Italy and Greece. Miss Faison has never yet been abroad; it would be entirely be fitting if we, all of us, gave her a chance to see with her own eyes that which she already ,knows so perfectly well through her work among us. Our gift should give her a beautiful and ilong vacation abroad whioh xghe will never forget." No, There Won’t Be A Hanging The scaffolding now stand ing before the main entrance to the University Library ia not to hang people from when they keep books out overtime. It’s obvious that the Library* doesn't have enough books that the building needs to be jacked up, and a check with the refer ence department staff revealed that no one has threatened to jump out the window. What's the scaffolding for then? Well, the Library has a new name, and any day now a Greensboro firm is going to atari cutting the new name in the stone above the front atepa. What’a the Name?

The University trustees and the trustees of Coker College agreed to rescind the reversion ary provisions of the original deed conveying the property to the club so long as it was and is used as a golf course. The original deed provided that in the event the Country Club failed to use the property for a course, the area would revert to the L niversity to maintain a course thereon. It provided, fur ther that if the University failed to keep a course on the property, the land would revert to the Coken. heirs, who constitute the trustees of Coker College, to maintain a golf course thereon. The intention of Mr. Coker was to protect the rights and privi leges of people to whom he had sold property in the area. He had guaranteed them a golf course. In recent months the Chapel Hill Country Club has obligated to spend more than $36,000 on the course and the remodeling of the club house.
