X DECEMBER 15, 193 3 NO. 3 Warm Sunset Glows “Your friend is your needs answered”, said Kahlil Gibran. This is just as true today as it was seventy years ago. It was true seventy years ago when the Negroes were given their freedom from slavery. The true friends of the Negro were made known when they answered the great needs of the Negro. One of the most pressing needs of that day was education. Only the most under standing, and sympathetic teachers could answer this need. Many noble women of the north were quite ready and willing to devote their lives to this work, and through their efforts and the help of northern phi lanthropic societies the Negro was given an opportunity to climb the ladder of learning and culture. One of these noble characters for whom the Spelman community had a memorial exercise Thanksgiving day was Lucy Hale Tapley, who devoted thirty-seven years of her life to the development of Negro youth. This service was especially signifi cant, because the speakers presented pic tures of Miss Tapley that will probably re main in the minds of those present and will be remembered whenever tliev think of Miss Tapley, as great literature returns to us to give us power. The most vivid image of Miss Tapley and the one that served as a sort of theme for the entire service was the one presented by Dr. E. R. Carter, pastor of Fried- ship Baptist Church. He compared her life with the beauty of the sunset. He brought to our minds the fact that very few people are awe-struck at the rising of the sun, and no one thinks much of the light and bright ness of the sun until it sets. One then sees these beautiful rays, and marvels at the things that this ball in the heavens can do. “So", said Dr. Carter, “was Miss Tapley’s life. With the closing life, peo ple are able to look back and see the rays of sunshine that have been present through out the best years of her life, and now they are awe-struck just as people who ob serve the sunset are awe-struck. The other speakers were unable to add anything to this beautiful picture, but they did reflect from many different angles those rays of sunlight in each one of their tributes to Miss Tapley. Don’t jump to conclusions too quickly for often they are wrong ones. Art Exhibits A.vnlizabeth Madison, ’34 Thirty paintings from the brush of Mrs. Farnsworth Drew, Atlanta artist, were transported, the week of November o, from the local High Museum of Art to Atlanta 1 diversity, where they were shown in the exhibition hall of the University Library for eight days. On November 5, at the afternoon formal opening under the auspices of the Art De partment of Atlanta University, Mrs. Drew spoke to the visitors concerning art appre ciation. She compared art to the bridge which connects different nations and is a span between races. Over this bridge of the arts, people may come together and ex change their national and racial heritages. In the collection, which was the first of a series to be shown at the University Li brary this winter, were a number of sea scapes which Mrs. Drew painted during the many summers and occasional winters she has spent on Sea Island, twenty-five miles off the coast of Nova Scotia. To this island, where she established a studio twenty-eight years ago, it was impossible to go except during certain tides and smooth water. The artist is a native of Wisconsin, studied at the Art Students ’ League in New Y ork City, and spent seven years in study abroad, three of them in the Julian Academy in Paris. Here she came to know many of the famous artists of the period, who influenced her development more than did her teachers. For many years she main tained a studio in New York City as well as on Sea Island. Allan Freelon, well known member of the Gloucester group of painters and etchers, exhibited a comprehensive and colorful col lection of his paintings and prints at the Atlanta University Library Exhibition Hall for two weeks beginning Sunday, Novem ber It). These pictures were the second of a series of public exhibitions to be spon sored by Atlanta University, and arranged by Mr. Hale Woodruff, head of the art department. Mr. Freelon, one of the best known con temporary Negro painters, studied at the Pennsylvania Museum of Art, at the Barnes Foundation at Merion, Pennsyl vania, and with Hugh Breckenridge, A. N. A. Since 1922 he has been assistant to the director of art education of the Phila delphia public schools. He is a graduate of the University of Pennsylvania. Freelon’s work, as displayed at a pre view at the I niversity, shows a colorful series of seascapes and landscapes in which the fishing fleets of Massachusetts’ famous North Shore are an integral part. His paintings have been exhibited frequently at the principal galleries of Philadelphia, in New York City and at Gloucester. This is the first showing of his paintings in the south. There can be no doubt in one’s mind as to the unusual artistic ability of Mr. Freelon after having enjoyed the beauty of the pictures on exhibition.
