KRATT RETURNS (Continued from page one) Shrivenham was located a short distance from Oxford university and Dr. Kratt had the opportunity of spending considerable time there. A short time before he re turned to this country, he was able to do some special study at both Cambridge and Oxford. One of the interesting aspects of the Oregon dean’s work in Eng land was the opportunity it pre sented to meet outstanding British musicians, among whom were Vaughn Williams and William Wal ton, well-known composers. The GIs, Dr. Kratt said, made teaching extremely interesting be cause they showed such evident in terst. “Thy didn’t want to hear cheap music, either,” he said. "They always asked to hear the better works of great composers.” Dr. Kratt’s return trip to this country was extremely interesting. He came back on the Queen Mary, on what was supposed to be her last trip as a transport, along with 11,000 members of the 82nd air borne division and a handful of civilians, including Sir Adrian Boult, conductor of the BBC. Sir Adrian is in this country to con duct a series of concerts with the Boston symphony orchestra, Dean Kratt said. He will probably take over the orchestra for a period of about 14 weeks. Just before his return to Oregon Dr. Kratt met with Dr. Harry K. Newburn, University president, in New York, and laiked over plans for the school. The University’s music dean ex pressed himself as being very glad to be back on the campus and as exceedingly pleased with the school of music and the fine work done by John Stehn as acting dean dur ing his absence.

They are the property of Mrs. C. J. Sullivan, a former Uni versity of Oregon instructor of Home Economics. These exhibits are displayed in cases in the circulation room and will remain there for several weeks. One case of weakings shows gayly colored aprons, street bags, and slippers trimmed in rickrack and peasant fringe. Mrs. Sullivan made these under the guidance of Mrs. Dorothy Lie bes of San Francisco, who was in Portland teaching the Arts and Skills class sponsored by the Uni versity of Oregon Art School, Port land Public schools and the Port land Art Museum. The class made new designs and samples in weav ing so that unskilled patients in naval and army hospitals might be instructed in this craft and relieve “hospital boredom.” Colors Gay The general characteristics of these exhibits are gay colors, in expensive materials and simple techniques. Mrs. Sullivan reported that the exhibits had been used in the Walter Reed Hospital, Washington, D.C., by the National Headquarters of the American Red Cross. Another case is devoted to sam ples of swatches of gold beaded material, suggestive of evening bags; creamy material for drapes and curtains; and leather striped samples which could be used for sport handbags or summer sandals. Long Job A tapestry shown in soft, ex quisite colors represents tedious although simple work, since each inch completed took one hour. The background is of unbleached nat ural linen, and the design has been completed in colored wool. There are fifteen original floral designs, each different from the other. In weaving this wall-hanging, Mrs. Sullivan chose blending combina tions of color, and in all cases used complete shades which enhance the tapestry and reflect a soft, natural quality. Washington Alumna Mrs. Sullivan, the former Mary Elizabeth Starr, graduated from the University of Washington in 1929 where she majored in Home Economics and Art. Coming to the University of Oregon, she taught for five years and then went to the University of Washington where she was associated with the Home Economics department fcr nine years. Mrs. Sullivan studied weaving in the summer of 1937 in Sweden, re turning to the United States in the fall. She was also a student at the Academy of Art in Detroit where she learned more of the Scandinavian weaving techniques. Her interest in this was first aroused when she was a freshman in college. Prize Winner Mrs. Sullivan recently won two blue ribbons for her skill in weav ing a tapestry and an evening bag which were sent to a national con test at Louisville, Kentucky. In September of 1945, she was awarded the Fourth Purchase Award at the International Textile Exhibit held at Greensboro, North Carolina. The North Carolina Woman’s College now has the length of white drapery material I beaded with copper which Mrs. Sullivan entered in the contest. At the present, she is living in Eugene. Her husband is Assistant Professor of Philosophy at the Uni versity of Oregon. I He who keeps his feet upon the i ground may travel anywhere.
