A retrospective exhibition tracing" the ■ evolution -of-; the". career of the noted American painter, Karl Zerbe, was opene_d in Stetson University's Elizabeth Hall gallery Jan. 13 and continue through Feb 2. , The 43 works on view were selected by Prof. H. W. Janson, chairman of. New York University's fine arts department, from works created by Zerbe over a period of 32 years. They have been borrowed, from numerous public and private -collections: 777 ; - • r -Among contributors to this exhibition are the Museum of Modern Art, The Newark Museum,- and the Staatliche Graphische Samm- lung of, Munich, Germany; The Ford Motor Co., Nathaniel Salton-* stall, Mrs. Edith Gregor Halpert, Armand G. Erpf, and Lee Nord- ness. Organized by The American Federation of Arts under a grant from the* Ford Foundation, this retrospective! exhibition represents a part of the Foundation's "Program in the Humanities "and the Arts devoted to increasing .opportunities for the public to view the work of established artists. In his essay for the catalog, Janson states, "The present show . . . records the response of a distinguished artist of basically European sensibility to the physical and cultural scene of the New World." Karl Zerbe's desire" to find the means that would best enable him to express himself, coupled with his early technical training, led him to experiment with various media. Among the examples included in .this exhibition are worsk in D'uco, a cellulose lacquer; encaustic, the ancient technique of painting woth wax; polymer tempera; acraylic, a synthetic resin; as well as the more traditional media of oils and gouache. His extensive travels in.Europe, -throughout the Tlnitpd States, and in the Far North of Canada have provided him with. much of the subject matter of his work, landscapes, cityscapes, figure paintings,' and portraits. Some of the works on view are, Terrace in Tax- co, 1937; Max Bechmann, 1948; Hudson Bay, 1959; and Number Eiaht, No. 2, I960. Karl Zerbe was born in Berlin," Germany. He' spent most of his childhood in Paris, where his father, an engineer, worked. He was only 19 when Wilhelm Uhde, of the Gurlitt Gallerv. ,j-ave him his first' one-man exhibition.

The building construction will begin as soon as the Art Building is* torn' down. peaics ' Stetson University's faculty has been intrigued this past week;by some of the ideas of one of the nation's top authorities on learning arid thinking processes. ' . . . Dr. Stanford Erickson; director of the University of , Michigan's new Center for Research on Learning and Teaching, was brought to the'! DeLand campus this week by Stetson's Ford .Graduate. Program. Ericksen • said he found Stetson to. be the kind of institution where "there are no big' bottlenecks be: tween! departments and therefore a greater " interdisciplinary approach is' possible.". To him, this" means that, Stetson should - try, .what. Ericksen. calls "correlated courses," that is, the integration of, work from two or more courses. ... For example, Ericksen recommends correlation., of English and psychology classes. Jn, such an approach when a freshman writes a theme. for psychology, the English teacher appraises it as communication. And the freshman's theme for. English on the'psychology in- Shakespeare's -Hamlet is also ev^i'iate' hv "-_«: nsych prof. TWO COUFySES The two courses would have planned interaction. Ericksen feels it would be fine if they; ended up as one course.. "Personally I would like to see an interdisciplinary course called behavioral sciences' in which the subjects of psychology, sociology, political ' science, . • anthropology, even economich were correlated," Ericksen says.. ,. ' .' On the other' end of. the scale,'. Blair Addresses -' Business Class-- william Blair, vice president of Harper-Atlantic Sales Inc.,'.joint sales*and'promotional organization for Harpers and Atlantic Monthly magazines,' will speak ■ before .a Stetson.- University class in Advertising Principles tomorrow. Blair is the guest of Dr. O. Wil- lard Freeman and his ,11' a, m. class in Room 208, Business Administration building.' He will talk on "Writing Careers in the Magazine Field"-with ,emphasis on advertising ahd promoting. Blair has degrees • from Oxford and Princeton. He .was.- formerly with the ,-OgiMe, Benson &-Mather advertising agency working on the Puerto Rico' and Lever Bros! accounts. - : , , -' All the Stetson' faculty and students are invited to the special class session -with Blair.'- . -■... • Ericksen also sees a place.for,a correlated course-for seniors, as well as a. chance for seniors to take some of the lower division subjects they feel they had missed but* now might take with profit.* , Ericksen found Stetson University' "a place where you can do many • things experimental. A school .should maintain.a constant experimental "atmosphere; it is the kind of school where new enterprises can be tried out." He added these projects should be made a matter of record for the rest ofthe world of higher education to refer to. . - ■ \ LEARNED AUTHORITY The learned-authority points out that the traditional concept of the- educated person was one who could ' "observe society." . "We can't afford that now. Our graduates must contribute rather than observe —* we need desperately the intellectual leadership to'solve problems." Discussing his idea of the kind of educational atmosphere that should be provided for the college student of today, Ericksen outlines one of his favorite thoughts, a comparison with the world of sci-" ence. - " '* ."A.scientist should have no restraints on his freedom to try to generate the 'new idea!' He searches for a solution that no one else has thought of; he wants to be diffeerent," he-declares. ' ''The reason science has been,so "successful is that the scientist is free to test out his "idiosyncratic ideas and then evaluate them:" .. • "This is the grand'model. The college student likewise would be given the. same freedom to .'think creatively," Ericksen.declares. The student should not "think in a vacuum," however — after • he's had proper background as a freshman- and. sophomore,, he .should then movxe into this sort of freedom hi . Tuni<vr and. spnior veai'S. CREATIVE THOUGHT . * The scientist, has creative thoughtand then evaluates,, it) — the student has the "same repon- sibility." ', '■,."', ."■The.teacher is. simply thereto, encourage a. student on how he might state his idea, then evaluate it," Ericksen says. The teacher is simply a supporter. He "should team up with the student in cognitive pursuit." The teacher.must be a motivator and "utilize the student's intellectual curiosity." '-' How can a college; exjedite its approach- to free, and;independent student thought? ' ■' " According to Ericksen it can by, "taking full advantage of edu cational technology, by relieving the professor of his- information- giving function so he can take his time for individuals and his tutorial functions." At the University bf Michigan, Ericksen hopes, to' carry on research to provide help and service to improve the teaching of the Michigan faculty. An example of a project to be undertaken is one using' closed circuit television. TV will be used to record 30-minute videotapes for a teacher's -use 4hese recordings will then be, placed "on the shelf" for televising w\\p-n needed. T. V. IS MEDIUM "Television is a teaching medium just hasn't been touched yet," Ericksen declares. He says he has ideas for new approaches, including the -use of programmed instruction — that is, "teaching machine!' materials by way of closed circuit television. The college teacher today "needs more than a textbook and his old notes, — he needs to coordinate and integrate all educational media tape recordings, television, radio,( films, teaching machines," Ericksen.asserts.. ',' He says there is a great deal of self-examination going on across the Country' on the college level and describes ; research in the "grading" of a university as' a variable in the learning of a student. . , "Many universities are trying to set iip" departments of study to improve their teaching processes. There.is a considerable step-up in self appraisal and analysis. It has tremendous, value if there is active i*>_.ticipation of the faculty,", he adds. "Bids for construction of a new library on Stetson's campus were opened on January 3 in-DeLand," said Stetson Business Manager Edward C. FurlphgJ The. building "committee for the University's Board of Trustees is scheduled to study the bid's before the end of the month. .Once - a - contract - is signed,*-., architects..' estim'_iteX7the!.. three-story, building, will take* 12 to 15 months to complete. Five bids have been received, - each within five - per - cent- of - each - other. The apparent low bidders are: Houser Construction Co., Ft. Lauderdale and Daniel Construction Co., Jacksonville. , DOUBLE SPACE The new library will contain approximately 50,000 square feet of floor space, more than double the ' brary which was built in 1907. .The j. .struc,_ure..is7designe..d -to.'hold'even-. 7 tually m:ore7than-250,-06 books plus- documents, periodicals, and microfilm.
