Painting by Jacob Lawrence Added to Atlanta Collection

To the growing Atlanta University collection of art by contemporary Negro artists has been added a paint¬ ing by Jacob Lawrence which is a gift from the Arts Fund of New York. The painting, “Saturday Night", has been on display in a number of gal¬ leries throughout the country and more recently in New York at the Downtown Gallery and the Whitney Museum of American Art. The paint¬ ing is a primitive semi-abstraction, portraying conditions and week-end revelry in congested Negro ghettos.

Lawrence, a native of Atlantic City, New Jersey, has won Rosenwald and Guggenheim awards.

At Morehouse College also carrying on an important re¬ search project, Dr. Henry C. McBay has received a grant of $5,000 from the Research Corporation of New York to continue his laboratory in¬ vestigations into certain compounds. Several years ago this young scien¬ tist had the privilege of working with the famed George Washington Car¬ ver. He began his chemical investi¬ gations at the University of Chicago where in 1944 and 1945 he won the Elizabeth Norton Prizes for outstand¬ ing research in chemistry. Students ivho enter Atlanta University’s department of chemistry must have a thorough training in mathematics through cal¬ culus, as well as some knowledge of biology.
