Librarian To Present Picture History Tonight Martin bchmitt, curator of the University library special collec tions, will present a “Photograph ic History of Western Settlement” tonight at 7:30 in the Browsing room of the Student Union. Schmitt will give a description of early photography, the methods used, and will show a series of slides illustrating his topic. In 1947, Schmitt took a 10,000 mile trip through the western states looking for early photo graphs. As a result of this ven ture and others similar to it, the University library has one of the best negative collections on the Pacific coast, containing some 10,000 prints. In collaboration with Dee Brown of the University of Illinois agri culture library, the speaker has compiled photographic histories of Indian wars and of the cattle trade. These histories are the be ginnings of a complete photo graphic history of the western set tler, which the two hope to com pile. The history will show how the settlers moved westward and illustrate their day-to-day routine. Schmitt feels that the history of photography and the history of western settlement run together in time, beginning as they both did about 1839. He added that one can find a photograph of almost any thing that happened in the devel opment of the West, or of anyone who was an important figure in that development. The problem therefore is to find the photograph which tells this story. “And this search,” said Schmitt, “has become my hobby.” Schmitt feels that the “picture histories” used in his research is especially valuable for two rea sons. First, there is much time de voted to the developing of tho text, and second, practically every. picture is made from a photo graph of the actual situation rather than an artist’s interpre tation of it. . " ' I Baritone Here Thurs. Night In CMA Show A repertoire ranging from op eratic arias to ballads and sea chanties is at the command ot~ Metropolitan Baritone Leonaid Warren, appearing in McArthur court Thursday evening under the auspices of the Eugene-University Civic Music association. The singer, who has a perform ance record in concert, radio and television as well as his operatie roles with the Met, started his career by trying out for the Met ropolitan Opera Auditions of tb« Air knowing only three arias. On the day of his trial he was the 79th singer to be heard by con ductor Wilfred Pelletier. Pelletier first thought that the voice he was hearing was that of some famous singer on a recording being played by one of the technicians as a joke. Since that day Warren has climbed to his place as this sea son’s choice for the leading bari tone role in the opening night pre miere of the Metrolopitan produc tion of “La Forza del Destino.” He will celebrate his 15th anni versary with the Met in January.
