Casual and everyday use of movies as a normal adjunct of education has not yet arrived, but it is well on the way. Yesterday in Fine Arts 5b, the History of Renaissance Scuipture, the art of the cinema and the technical skill of the University Film Foundation were called into service when a picture of the intricate technical processes of bronze and plaster casting were illustrated via moving pictures on a screen, far better than they could have been described by a lecturer...
