Engraving, and Modern Methods; under "Etching," the Etchers and the Methods; and under "Lithography," the Artists and the Methods. Because of Mr. Pennell's own artistic achievement and his definite, aggressive ideas for the future of art, this new volume is likely to cause widespread discussion among artists and those who are interested in the national development of art. Lorado Taft's new book on Modern Tendencies in Sculpture, which will have five hundred illustrations, discusses the work of Rodin and other French sculptors, German and other European sculpture, Augustus St. Gaudens and American sculpture since St. Gaudens. In speaking of the last-named sculptor Mr. Taft remarks that St. Gaudens' influence cannot be overestimated. "Yet no man's leadership is sufficient to bring us into the promised land. The myriad ways in which American sculptors are seeking artistic salvation is an appealing theme. Especial interest is given to Mr. Taft's new book on sculpture because of his monumental group, "The Fountain of Time," the full-size model of which has recently been placed near the University in Washington Park facing the Midway. It is an impressive, wavelike procession of more than eighty figures symbolizing the passing of the human before the immovable figure of Time and illustrating the famous couplet of Austin Dobson: race Time goes, you say? Ah, no, Alas, time stays; we go. Dr. Albert A. Michelson, Head of the Department of Physics at the University of Chicago, who has already received many scientific honors, has been awarded the Albert Medal of the Royal Society of Arts for 1920, according to a dispatch from London. It is a recognition of the scientific value of Professor Michelson's optical inventions, which have provided the means of carrying out measurements with a minute precision hitherto unattainable. Professor Michelson has also received from British scientific societies the Rumford Medal, and the Copley Medal of the Royal Society, London, as well as the Nobel Prize for Physics from the Swedish Academy of Sciences. His publications are chiefly on researches in light. He has been president of the American Association for the Advancement of Science and of the American Physical Society, and is a corresponding member of the French Academy of Sciences. The Renaissance Society of the University arranged an exhibit of war posters of all nations in the Museum of the Classics Building at the University August I0-20. Some two hundred posters were exhibited, selected from the collections of the University, Dr. James W. Walker, Dr. Arthur P. Scott, and Mr. Harold R. Willoughby. Addresses interpreting the exhibit were given by Dr. Walker, Dr. Scott, and Mr. Willoughby on the evenings of August 17, 18 and 19. The exhibit was made the subject of an illustrated article signed by H. L. Watkins in The Poster magazine for September, 1920.
