Using Sam Simpson g immortal poem,
Beautiful Willamette, as his inspir-
alton, Professor c. L. Glass of Eugene
is painting series of canvasses which
when finished will number fourteen
Three have already been finished
and during the commencement of Will
z lamette have been on exhibition and
have been greatly admired by students
and the hundreds of persons who have
visited the institution. For the benefit
of those who have been unable to view
them, they will remain on exhibition
until the last of the week. Il
=, The canvasses are immense in size,
each averaging about four by six feet.
Lines Of the poem suggest the names

Leaves no trace or trench on thee
The second picture beautifully inter
prets:

ing,
Now thy roseate ripples dance, - the
third portraying the remaining lines
of the verse:
"Golden then when day departing,
On the waters trails his lance.
Professor Glass has been asked to
display his work at the Panama exposi-
tion, and should his series be completed
by that time, he will probably do so,
adding materially to the attractiveness
of Oregon s exhibition. 1t has also
been suggested that plates be made of
the group for making illustrations to
be arranged with the poem in folio
FORM, to be used as Oregon souvenirs
for the 1915 fair.
The Alumni association of the uni
versity is also seriously considering Sc
curing several of the pictures for pre-
sentation to the university, to be hung
as permanent adornment in the halls
of this historical institution.
Seven other examples of Professor
Glass work are also being shown, in
cluding four interesting flower studies
and three landscapes. The style and
coloring used introduces an individual
method, remaining happily between the
"old school " and the new impression.
