  • Page 6 The Western Carolinian Friday, October 8, 1965 Art Professor Gives Philosophy One of the most interesting attractions on campus seems to be the showcase in the lobby of Stillwell classroom building. At various times it is filled with the results of a fine arts or industrial arts class. Many times the articles are interesting as well as practical, and each one shows the skill and patience which went into its creation. The Department of Fine Arts has long been blessed with its share of qualified professors, each of which is above average in his individual field. This year, Mr. A. T. Sarvis is a new and valuable addition to the Department of Fine Arts. At present, Mr. Sarvis teaches introductory art courses, but his own specialty is wood cutting. He has had works displayed in some 20 national galleries in the past five years. A brief run-down of Mr. Sarvis' past years reveals that he has been a traveler much of his life. Born in Nanking, China, where his father was Dean of the University of Nanking, he Mr. A. T. Sarvis has lived in Deleware, Tennessee, California, Illinois, and many other places. Mr. Sarvis did his undergraduate work at the California College of Arts and Crafts, and studied as a graduate student at the University of New Mexico in Albuquerque. He served as an Elementary Supervisor in Rockford, Illinois; taught for three years at the University of North Dakota, two years at San Diego Stair College, and is now a member of the Western Carolina College faculty. Mr. Sarvis has been interested in art since his early childhood and has developed some very interesting ideas on the subject. When asked for his opinion of abstract art, Mr. Sarvis stated that he sees no real dividing line between non -objective or abstract art and representative art, although he does favor the latter. He sees the two degrees as being on the same scale in that "on the one extreme are abstract painters such as Jackson Pollock, the 'drip' painter, and Piet Mondrian, in whose paintings representation of any real object is lacking. On the other extreme are painters who strive for a near-exact likeness to a form such as George Washington's portrait painter, Gilbert Stuart. But no matter how exact to its source a painting may be, it is an abstract in the sense that it isn't the real thing. Gilbert Stuart did not paint every eyelash, every mole, or every freckle in his characterization of Washington, and he thus abstracted the portrait to this degree." Mr. Sarvis holds that all art, whether abstract, "pop", "trash- can", or representative, is good in that it represents expression. "Although art no longer occupies the position it did during the Renaissance, it is a necessary mode of creativity, and exists on many different levels in respect to the many types of people. Art in the United States has improved in that it is no longer a pale shadow of what is going on in Europe; we are willing to experiment." The Department of Fine Arts is fortunate to have men who not only know and appreciate art but are willing to express their ideas and opinions. Knowledge, combined with skill, patience and the desire to create, is essential to the artist, but the "will to experiment" is possibly the major instrument of the artist. Emory Begins A Stepped-Up PhD Program Atlanta, Ga. (I.P.) — Emory University will begin a program this fall in which students can earn a Ph. D. degree in chemistry only six years after entering college as a freshman. Initiation of the program coincides with a major curriculum revision within the Emory College which will allow students more leeway in course work during their senior year. This change will mean that students participating in the combined chemistry program will be able to start graduate work as seniors. The new program will be made possible by pushing straight through college, according to Dr. R. A. Day, Jr., chairman of the chemistry department. It includes three summers of research and a full regular academic load. Dr. Day considers the summer program a good opportunity for research. "Nowadays students are looking for something worth-while to do in the summers," he said. "They might as well spend them in research activities." Emory would not have considered a combined program in chemistry several years ago, but students are now coming to college better and better prepared in science. A maojr factor behind the accelerated program is the growing realization that education is a continual process. A steadily increasing number of students go on to one or two years of post-graduate work (largely research) following their doctorate. Partners In Progress...
