Effects of Industrial Revolution on Aesthetic,
Merchandising Art Is Wednesday Lecture Topic
i
The conflict between the aesthetic and merchandising fields in design will be discussed by Hudson B. Roysher, visiting instructor in design, at the Wednesday lecture at 4:30 p.m. today in the art and lecture room of Doheny Memorial library.
In his lecture, “The Trend in Industrial Design,” Roysher will analyze the reasons for having such a type of design. * The influence of the industrial revolution on art will be described.

$1,000,000 Reward Offered
NEW YORK, May 1—<U.R>—The New York Times today printed a letter from Samuel Harden Church, president of the Carnegie Institute of Pittsburgh, saying that he has been “authorized by competent Americans” to offer a reward of SI,000.000 for delivery of Adolf Hitler into custody of the League of Nations for trial for treason.
The letter, directed to the editor of the Times, said:
“In order to prevent further bloodshed and outrage in this war of the German aggression, I am authorized by competent Americans to offer a reward of SI,000,-000 to be paid in cash to the person or persons who will deliver m England, many people ascended i machines he refUsed to point them Amazon pledge Class Will con-tlive, unwounded to positions of great importance ..............

“Their idea was to copy designs made for the craftsmen and re-j produce them for the machine,” he continued. “This gave rise to grotesque monstrosities of design.”
Roysher believes that although the industrial revolution was of great value, it almost destroyed art in the field of design. The machine manufacturers can not be blamed entirely fwr this, for, in his opinion, the artist is also guilty. 1 by artists.

Tomorrow's Organ Program
Three Toccatas ................................ Bach
C major D minor Dorian
These three Toccatas (or “Touch" pieces) are taken from three of the major organ works of Bach, and as is usual in this type of composition, were written more for the sake of virtuosity, than for musical content. To be played tomorow at the request of some of the music students on the campus, they illustrate what flights of imagination, as well as of fingers, the Leipzic Cantor took when he was on his recital tours. The one in C major contains the famous pedal solo, the D minor has been made universally known of recent years by orchestral transcription, and the Dorian goes back to one of the old “Authentic Modes" of Gregorian times.
