DEVOTION TO STUDY
URGED BY MARVIN
G. W. U. President Makes
Plea to Center Work
On High Ideals.

In plea for high devotion to
scholarship and research, DR.. Cloyd
Heck Marvin, president of George
Washington University, Friday night de-
clared in his first address of the i92D-30
academic year to his faculty that the
intellectual power of an educational in
stitution is not to be measured by its
material facilities.
"The great creative work OF the world
has not been accomplished tn elabo-
rately equipped laboratories" DR.. Mar
vim pointed out. "Remensen did his
work that was outstanding in a remod-
eled kitchen where he might have a
sink; ROLAND made his great discov-
cries in physics In what once was a
bedroom; the fine creations Of Agassiz,
with their great results for biology in
this country, saw their birth in q barn
on one Of the islands of the Massa-
chusetts coast.
Reviews University's Progress.
Wherever creative minds are at
work there is greatness. It makes little
difference to the creative mind where
it works, so long as 1t can have the
essential implements for proving ideas.
do not care so much where you think
as how you think"
DR.. Marvin reviewed the university's
progress in the last year, pointing out
that the School of Medicine again
stands second In the success Of its grad

18th CENTURY CHINESE PAINTINGS
GIFT TO CONGRESSIONAL LIBRARY
Collection of 46, Bound in Four Albums,
Depicts Rice and Silk Culture and
Have Rare History.

Yen Yu-shun. states that the artist.
as a member of the astronomical
board. came into contact with Jesuit
missionaries of Picking and acquired
from them the methods OF Western
perspective which are embodied IN
these paintings. These pictures by
Chiao P.ng-chen rank among the first
Chinese paintings which definitely
claim to make use of Western perspec-
tive; they stand at the meeting place
of Chinese and Western art.
Interest of Library.
In view of their interest to artists,
to agriculturists and to students Of
cultural contacts in general, the Ii
brary of Congress has for years been
assembling engravings of the Keng
Chih T'u. In 1908 DR.. Laufer discov-
cred in Japan an engraved reproduce
ton of a much earlier album on the
same theme, which also is now in the
National Library. It is based on a
reprint made in China in 1862, which
in turn goes back to the earliest of all
tilling and weaving pictures made by
the Sung dynasty painter and scholar,
Lou Shou, in 1145 A. D. The originals
by this painter are lost, but the earliest
and only known reprint of his work Is
in the Chinese collection of the Library
of Congress In addition to the gift by
Mrs. Moore the library has received
from Dr. Peterson three albums OF rare
engravings upon the same theme.

There was considerable CONSERVATION

Guy Drew, expert riverman, led

Steamers equipped with radio were
asked to keep on the lookout for the

Original seventeenth century Chi
nese paintings, marking the first known
meeting place of Chinese and Occi-
dental art, until the past few months
thought out of existence, are the new
est art addition to the Library Of Con-
gress, the gift of Mrs. William H..
Moore of New York City, who &C
quired them from DR.. Frederick Peter
son of New York to give than to the
Library. They had been in DR.. Peter
sons collection about 20 years.
The pictures were not thought the
originals, from the hand of Chiao Ping
chen, Shantung artist. until they were
studied a few months ago by DR..
Berthold Laufer of the Field Column
bian Museum, Chicago, and pro-
nounced genuine. They depict the
various operations OF rice and silk cul-
ture and were the foundation for a
series of wood engravings published by
Emperor K'and-hsi. in 1896, and by
his grandson, Chien-lung, in 1893.
These engravingS have had wide dis
tribution in China.
46 Paintings on Silk.
The 46 paintings comprising the Sc
ries are drawn on silk and are bsau-
tifully bound in four albums. Half OF
the series illustrates in detail the oper-
atoms that pertain to the cultivation OF
cereals, while the other half depicts the
processes of silk culture from the nur-
ture of the eggs to the weaving of the
silk into cloth and the manufacture
of garments. These two fundamental
occupations of Chinese rural life have
from time immemorial been exalted by
Chinese emperors and moralists for the
purpose of intoxicating thrift, and also
through sympathy for the plodding
masses whose lot it is to provide food
and clothing for mankind. The ac-
companying text has long preface
by the Emperor in his own handwriting,
and each picture is the subject Of
poem, composed by the Emperor HIM
self, extolling the operation depicted.
A colophon by famous contemporary.
