I • I Krannert Art Museum The Krannert Art Museum, dedicated in 1961, is the gift of a 1912 graduate, Herman C. Krannert,* Mrs. Krannert, and other donors. Designed by Richardson, Severns, Scheeler and Associates, the building was planned to differ in character from other campus structures. The museum is distinctive in material - - white Vermont marble; a gold-plated grill screens its only windows. A reflecting pool contains a large plinth upon which stands a striking piece of abstract sculpture, Initiation, by the Italian artist Mirko. Krannert Art Museum is connected with the Fine Arts Building by a one-story, glassed-in lounge which has become a center of campus activity. Construction of this beautiful museum has notably aided development of the University's permanent art collections as well as its exhibition program. *A prominent Indiana industrialist who also donated funds for the Krannert Center for Fer» forming Arts, see page 38.
