little did he realize how poten-
TALLY significant were his words and
how profoundly true.
Many genius has died "unhon-
ored and unsung" for the lack Of
discoverer; many a johnson has
died unknown FOR lack of Boswell,
and many gifted artist remains
in cbscurity owing to the lack of
recognition. Some geniuses never
attain prominence through an aver
sion to publicity, others from a diff
fidence to appreciate their artistic
endowment; others from an opses-
sion OF innate modesty.
Thanks to the generosity Of some
kindred spirits who are in a DC
sition, financially, socially and
artistically, to aid struggling artists,
every once in a while a discovery is
made Of some budding genius, for
which the world at large rejoices.

trations Of how the sense CT dis
covery is manifested in certain
minds was made public on June 3.
