Meanwhile, back in WASH
ington. the National Gallery
OF Art has opened O major
exhibition Of what IL still
too often regarded as O
minor art, printmaking. A
branch OF the art, regarded
as even more minor, Is book
illustration and that shares
the show with prints.
As do most good things in
prints at the National CAL
lery, this show comes from
Leasing J. Rosenwald. Some
OF the prints are from his
own collection, as distin-
guished from the Rosenwald
Collection which IL part Of
the National Gallery. The
books are from his gifts TO
the Library Of Congress.
There are 65 books and 1853
prints by the same artists,
who comprise . large part
OF the golden roll Of the
10th and goth centuries in
France and Germany.

The first stroke, while an
authentic windfall. was from
a normal source, q substan-
tial gift from O substantial
collector. Mrs. Walter Chrys-
Ter, jr., a Norfolk native, gave
the museum a. paintings,
water colors, drawings and
sculptures, all American, all
contemporary. The collection
concentrates on the younger
abstract expressionists, al
though it also includes work
by such older artists as Chain
Gross, Milton Avery, Umberto
Romano and Carl Morris.
The Abstracts
The weight Of the collec-
ton centers on more abstract
painters like Normal Bluhm,
Stephen Pace, Michael Gold
berg, Bud Hopkins and Law
renee Calgano. Like any
private collection, 1t follows
the taste Of the collector and
stakes out a relatively quiet
area within the painting Of
the fifties. Yet there Is no
doctrinaire cleaving to any
body's party line that such
Is the only kind Of art now
permissible or even desirable.
on the contrary. the new
Chrysler collection at Norfolk
contains some examples Of
non-abStract expresstorist, or
post abstract expressionist
art by younger artists such as
John Hultberg, Kahlil Gibran
and John Kearney. Note
worthy here is the small
watercolor Of shells on q
beach by James Wingate
Parr. Meticulously faithful to
life, the watercolor breathes
the spirit Of sparkle at the
waters edge.
without containing any Of
the really big names Of the
American painting Of the
'fifties, De Kooning, Rothko,
Pollock and the rest, the col
lection nevertheless gives q
good view Of the general
manner Of that epoch, thus
bringing Virginia's largest city
right up to the Threshold Of
the present in terms Of art
publicly available.
The second event is much
more extraordinary in its
source. 1t is O memorial to q
dead artist, given, item by
item, by his artist friends in
the New York art world. The
artist Is the late Alfred
Khouri and the memorial ef-
fort was started by his widow,
an artist herself, Greta Mat
son. Miss Matson was given
a free choice by many Of the
donating artists and she has
assembled q fascinating col
lection Of about 200 paint
ings, prints and small sculp-
lures. Miss Matson was q
Norfolk native and she and
her late husband used to
spend their summers at near
by beaches. According to
museum sources, she proposes
to continue the memorial

Report Urges
U. 5. Help for
Needy Pupils

A need for massive scholar
ship assistance. including Fed
eral aid, to college undergrad
yates is outlined in q report to
be published tomorrow by the
American Council on Educa-
ton.
Economic barriers deprive
capable students of o higher
education and deprive the Ma
ton Of their services at the
level at which they could per-
FORM" the report finds.
To help prevent loss Of tai
ent to the Nation, q Federal
program is recommended that
would:
Identify students with great
potential.
Encourage able students TO
develop their talents.
And help students by making
available small scholarships.
The 157-page report entitled
Financial Aid to the Under
graduate: Issues and Implica-
tions," was prepared by Elmer
ID. West, director Of the coun-
ellis Office Of Statistical Infor-
nation and Research.
Types Of Aid Listed
It summarizes all the types
Of aid available to college un-
dergraduates such as scholar
ships, loans and student en-
ployment.
But. DR.. West finds, the task
Of reducing economic barriers
"iS not yet being done satisfac-
torily by the States, by private
individuals and organizations,
or by the colleges and uni
versities.
He finds mo systematized,
unified, or well-developed pro-
gram Of scholarships which
brings together the needs Of the
country and the needs Of the
talented students unable to fl
nance their own education"
In general, the report points
out, financial aids that are
available paradoxically go to
the socially and economically
favored segment Of the popula-
ton. since college students
come from families average or
above in economic status, So
cial status and education.
500 Million I'm Grants
The largest present source Of
scholarship funds are the COL
leges and universities: For the
l959-60 period, 1,677 Of the
2,01l institutions Of higher ed
ucation awarded 2S7,5S9 schol-
arships valued at q total Of
500 million.
Scholarship funds are con-
centrated in a relatively limit
ed number Of institutions, the
report added. A study IL cited
which showed that the 50 insti-
tutions with the largest amount
Of undergraduate scholarship
money comprised only 8 per
cent Of the undergraduate col
leges listed, but controlled "a
per cent Of all scholarship
funds offered by the colleges.

KhOuri Memorial


KhOuri Memorial
In some ways the Khouri

four times 90 large, II the
reverse Of the Chrysler gift.
The emphasis is the other
way around. There are some
first-rate distractions in all

Q shining golden wood con-
struction by Louise Nevelson,

Lorne and an oil and sand
textural extravaganza by
Robinson MacKee.
But the weight Of the
Khouri Memorial Collection
IL toward representation Of
the old school. with memories
Of Robert Henri more ap-
parent than In most conten-
porary exhibitions.
Az 0 matter Of fact, one
large source Of the collection
has been the work Of mem
bers or associates Of the Ma
tional Academy Of Design.
Fifty years ago the Academy
was q depressing influence
on American art, controlling
the main channels Of recogni-
ton and sales, and debating
what was allowable and what
was not in painting and
sculpture.
Life and Beauty
We have changed all that.
The channels ere different
and we like TO delude our
selves that anything goes,
that everything Is allowable.
That happy state has not
quite been achieved. One
thing that Ia not allowable in
the present u the kind of
painting the Academy be-
lieves in, painting that Is
based on good drawing and
on mastery Of techniques in
underpainting, glazing and
the rest. The old feeling that
the Academy Is Q menace has
given way to the feeling that
the Academy Is Just irrele-
want. Therefore, 1t Is very
good indeed to get o look at
what painters and sculptors
or the Academy are capable
Of. There Is life and beauty
in that old bogeyman and the
Khouri Collection exhibits o
good deal Of both.
For example there are two
classical drawings Of nudes
by academicianS John Koch
and Gladys Davis. A still life
by Xavier Gonzalez and
forceful view Of o bridge in
construction by Mario Cooper
remind US that. unfashionable
as 1t has been, Just plain total
competence can generate
more delight In art than the
monotony Of endless novelty.
There Is Q great deal Of
merit in the Academic man
ner and, on balance, 1t IL O
good deal more tolerant Of
variation than was the new
academy" set up by more or
less official admirers Of the
painting Of the 1950s. II the
Academy sinned half O
century ago In supervising
that which was alien TO It,
the sin has long been attoned.
American art needs the dis
cipline and awareness Of
tradition that are the Aca-
demy's stronepoints. One Of
the great virtues Of the
Khouri Collection IL to
provide US once more with
an extremely attractive view
Of those virtues in action.
