ONCE "DABBLED IN ART"
Prof. Vogel of Berlin Publishes
Book Relating Experiences With
General at War Headquarters.

BY the Associated Press.
BERLIN. January 29.-How Presi
dent Won Hindenburg once dabbled in
the art of painting is told by Prof.
Hugo Vogel of Berlin, who was COM
nissioned throughout the war to paint
at army headquarters, in his recent
book, When l Painted Hindenburg. :"
Vogel describes how in January,
1918, the field marshal came to his
studio to examine a number Of battle
scenes and war canvases. AS he
stood before a scene of Marienburg,
Vogel relates, "he seized my palette
and began to make additions with the
brush. First his spurs. Then he
changed the persons depicted as flee
ing from the far shore of the Nogat
River. They are running too fast,
the field marshal observed"
During this visit Hindenburg also
criticized the color which Prof. Vogel
chose for the trousers of the chiefs
uniform in portraying the battle of
Tannenberg. 'He cried out" Eogel
said, why. you painted by trousers
gray. You must remember that l had
to leave Hanover for the 'front.' so
fast that ] didn't have time to grab
my field uniform. Thus it happened

peace-time uniform. It won't do for
YOU to paint them gray. That would

HOLDS SOME SEEK
REAL Quotations
Former Princeton Dean Says
Only Minority Can Tell Why
People Go to College.
BY the Associated Press.

PHILADELPHIA, January 20
DIR. Howard McClenahan, formerly
dean at Princeton, wants To know why
people go to college. He holds that
only the minority would answer the
question correctly and that the ma
jority would say. for social contacts,
for business contacts, for athletics
anything but the real purpose
training of the intellect"
DIR. McClenahan put the question in
talk at the annual dinner of the
Lehigh University Club last night.
Don't go to college for athletics"
he advises. Join an athletic club.
Gene Tunney never acquired his emf
hence az an athlete because of a col
lege training. If you want business
contacts, to meet men who will be of
service to you in a business way, join
Tammany Hall. Yet there are a few,
wonderful to say, who really go to
college for intellectual culture"
Lehigh was praised for maintaining
high ideals in athletics by w. S. Lang
ford Of Trinity, widely known foot
ball official and member of the inter
collegiate foot ball rules committee.
"Lehigh has reputation for sports
manship throughout the country" he
said. mo institution of it's size has
turned out three such admirable ex-
emplars and opponents of foot ball as
Matthew McClung, Paul Dashiell and
Walter Okeson."
