Hours: 10-5 Mon., Tues., Wed., Thurs., Fri., Sat. and 2-5 Sun. HANK v I RUST T <) (VI PA N V Art In North Carolina By OLA MAIE FOUSHEE “We are experiencing an up grading of the educational re quirements for professional mu seum people, and I am hoping it will be in the direction of a more thorough scholarly back ground well as in ‘know-how’ training.—Both are important.” May Davis Hill, new full-time curator of the museum at the Ackland Art Center, gave this as one reason for continuing her pursuit of the Ph. D. in art his tory. On September 1, Mrs. Hill re turned to the Ackland after a year’s leave of absence. A fel lowship from the Belgium-Ameri can Educational Foundation en abled her to study Flemish paint ing and medieval manuscripts in Brussels and to spend time at, the Print and Drawing Cabinet aqd Conservation laboratories in Cologne, Frankfurt and Munich. Also, to chase her interest in prints and drawings through England, the Netherlands, France, Spain and Italy. Between this jaunt and an other fellowship at the Institute of Fine Arte of New York Uni versity, where she is a candi date for the Ph. D. degree, she dashed back to Chapel Hill for six weeks to help Dr. Joseph C. Sloane complete the catalog of the Ackland’s collection work already in progress when she left . The curatorship is Vthe first full-time job created for the Ack land Museum (every one has been serving both the art de partment and the museum) and will include a consultantship to the Library. What will this full-time func tion of a curator mean to the community and to the state? “Inherent in such a job is re search, cataloging, safe-guard ing, etc.,” Mrs. Hill explained. "And I can devote more time to research on our Collection, making it more meaningful and helpful in the teaching of stu dents, for one thing. It is through the students that we contribute to the State.” ■Mrs. Hill majored in art at UNC in 1943, winning Phi Beta Kappa. Her thesis for the M. A. in art history, received in 1944, was “Andrea del Castagno's Famous Men and Women.” Her Ph. D. dissertation deals with a painter son of the sculptor, Tilman Riemenschneider. “Dr. Justus Bier, THE Riem enschneider authority, set me on Judges Are Chosen For N. C. Contest Two internationally known ar tiste, both also known as writers and lecturers, will judge the forthcoming North Carolina Ar tists’ Exhibition. Joseph C. Sloane, president of the North Carolina Art Society, which will sponsor the exhibition for the twenty-sixth year, has an nounced that painter Peppino Mangravite of Connecticut and sculptor William Zorach of New York have agreed to serve as this year’s jury fori the annual event for state artists. The two jurors will be at the North Carolina Museum of Art in Raleigh on November 14, at which time they will select works for the exhibition from the com peting entries. Selections will go on view at the state art muse um in December and in Janu ary will travel to Asheville for a second showing. Entries, expected this year to number over a thousand, are due in Raleigh on Nov. 12.

MAY DAVIS HILL . . . Curator at Ackland this trail,” May explained, “and it has been most rewarding for a museum-oriented person, as it involves study of paintings, sculpture, prints, drawings, and even painted majolica tiles.” More highly than the forth coming, degree itself, May values the association it has led to with such scholars as Dr. Sloane, the late Dr. Valentiner and Dr. Bier, his successor as Director of the State Art Museum in Ra leigh; study with such men as Panofsky, Friedlaender, Kraut heimer, and Charles Sterling of the Louvre, as well as Mayor and von Bothmer of the Metro politan. She particularly values her work as a student and an assistant to the late Dr. Clem ens Sommer at Chapel Hill. A quiet, slender blue-eyed yotsig woman, she finds her work at the Ackland Art Center exciting enough to commute daily from Raleigh, where she lives with her husband, Jeff Hill, well-known so- his book il lustrations.
