SHELLEY SPEAKER HERE (Continued Front Page One) only by hard training and hard ef fort that man will find soma means of expression. Two means that hnmnriK hiiv nt becoming more conscious of their own personality is through art and science and then they will gradually feel the aesthetic aspects of life more deeply and more w!ue;y. Science and art have to look at life In a dif- icreni, manner, and to illustrate his point Professor Shelley described a photographic reproduction of a race horso in action. The photograph, al though anatomically, perfect, does not reproduce the feeling of speed because it is a scicntlrc dealing which Is dead and objective. However, the artist In painting a race horse, paints it in a position in which no horse could ever run but with a few strokes of his brush he imparts the feel of speed, rhythm and beauty to tho picture. He described science as a reduction of the material world to a dead ratio. Professor Shelley states that he does, not think that scientific rec ords are unimportant, but that the artistlo sldo of lite Is Just as Import ant, because the scientific record Is objectivo while an artistic record shows the livingness of things as they aro felt, a clock Is a scientific record of passing or time, but for human' belngs. personally, the pass ing of life Is different from the sci entific clock.
