Late Librarian Wills University Theater Fund Robinson to Handle Fund Disbursement Establishment of the Ethel Saw yer University theater fund was an nounced this week by President Harry K. Newburn, when a $1000 gift was accepted from the estate of the late Ethel Sawyer, former University browsing room librar ian. Gift conditions specified that the fund be used for some tangible and permanent improvement in the Uni versity theater. Horace W. Robin son, director of the University thea ter, was named to handle disburse ment of the fund. Interested in Drama Knowledge of Miss Sawyer’s in tense interest in drama and her be lief in its potential powers in crea tive and interpretative channels motivated the offer of the money by the administrator of the estate. Miss Sawyer believed that the li brary and theater were the two roads through which enlightenment of the people could be accomplished most effectively. She became in terested in the new theater and came to believe that the thea ter was a greater social force than the li brary, because of its greater loy alty to artistic and humanistic val ues. Experimental Work Backed Robinson recalls particularly Miss Sawyer's interest in experimental theatrical productions and plans to use part of the fund in attempting this type of production. “The Skin of Our Teeth” by Thornton Wilder was presented by the University theater as a memor ial production to Miss Sawyer in 1944. Miss Sawyer served as browsing room librarian from 1937 until her death in 1942. The first gift to the University from her estate was $1000 for the establishment of the Ethel Sawyer collection in the li brary, which included a cross sec tion of 560 volumes of her personal library.
