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.

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.
