Oregon Coast Scenes Depicted in Oils and Water Colors While on His Vacation. Several Eastern Subjects Are Shown With Western Sketches. An exhibition of 65 paintings in wa ter-color and oil, by Professor A. H. Schroff, of the department of art at the University, are on display in the exhibit room at the architecture build ing. All of the paintings are nature studies, and many of them were done by Mr. Schroff last summer, when he spent the months of August and September along the Oregon coast. A large ma jority of the pictures are marines paint ed about Newport, The Devil’s 1’unch Bowl and Yachats. Mr. Schroff lived in u tent and ate at the \ achats' post office for a time, in order to paint some of the scenes of the country. “Most of these pictures were done in less than an hour,” said Mr. Schroff. “When one works on ocean scenery it is necessary 'to work fast as the tide goes out, then there is nothing to work with.” Weather Not Considered. Mr. Schroff has severnl paintings done about Eugene, one scene, looking down from Hendricks park, was painted last junior week-end, during a heavy rain. Before placing his exhibit, Mr. Schroff had the walls of the exhibit room done over in a soft gray tone. A canvas has been stretching under the skylight to throw u better light on the pictures. “This room,” said Mr. Schroff, “is a very difficult one in which to display paintings. However, 1 hope thut at some time the lighting and general atmosphere may be improved.” Besides pictures of the Oregon coast, (there are several done along the coast of Maine, one being of a cave called “Spouting ltoek," where the water rush es in and shoots high into the air. The picture was painted just; at sunrise, and thq soft pink and rose tiwts of the morn ing sun are just visible on the distant J mountain tops. Shipbuilder Buys Painting.

One of Mr Schroffs canvases, com panion to one of those now on exhibi tion, was sold last week to A. I'd Myers, Portland shipbuilder, for $100. The paintings will be on display at architecture hall for two weeks. ALUMNI COUNCIL TO MEET Conference With Regents Changed From ianuary 22 to February 5.
