Undergraduates and graduate students at the University and at Radcliffe have been invited to submit material for the first issue before next Monday's deadline. "We will consider anything from a doodle on a note-pad to a mile-high oil triptych," Martin said...

Among the early innovators : Painter John Ferren, who produced colored prints on plaster instead of paper; Boris Margo, who developed a new, easy-to-work print surface of sheet cellophane dissolved in acetone; Adja Junkers, who blew woodcuts up to mural-sized proportions with his 14-ft.-long triptych in which the center panel alone used eight blocks and 56 colors.

It also commissioned Broadway-famed Choreographer Agnes de Mille to do a new number, Harvest According, and got its own ballet master, Edward Caton, to whip up another, Triptych. It was again scheduling an "American Composers Night," when Leonard Bernstein, Aaron Copland, Morton Gould and Virgil Thomson would conduct their own ballets...
