Other Creative Activities T H E pictures on this page are by faculty members of the College of Fine Arts. A number of Illinois faculty members exhibit their works in national shows, and their paintings hang in such places as the Metropolitan and Whitney Museums. The picture "Pacific Cove" shown above, by Prof. Cecil V. Donovan, won an award at the last "Paintings of the Year" exhibit. T h e silver chalice and plate below are by Arthur J. Pulos. T h e chalice has taken two awards in exhibitions. O n the opposite page above is Nicola Ziroli's " T h e Dead Soldier," which was recently exhibited at the Art Institute in Chicago. In fourteen years Mr. Ziroli's paintings have won 22 prizes and honorable mentions in national competitions. The level of faculty creative work is also high in architecture, music, and drama. One of the great art shows of the country is the spring exhibition of painting at the University. This is combined with a festival of music, drama, and the other arts, to make a notable demonstration of creative activity on the campus. One of the great string quartets, T h e Walden Quartet at right, is resident in the School of Music. The Quartet, the orchestra, the Sinfonietta, the choral groups, the famous Illinois band all program many works by new composers, many of them Illinois composers. T h e Illinois Theatre Guild presents many new plays as well as older ones, and one new member of the speech faculty, Arnold Sundgaard, has had a number of his plays produced on Broadway.
