The Board of Trustees of the Nebraska Art Asso-
ciation met Friday, March 13th, at 10:00 A.M. in
Gallery B. The following members were present:

Minutes of the previous meeting were read and
approved.

The major portion of the time was spent in dis-
cussing the matter or purchases from the exhibition.
A vote, by ballot, of the choices by members of the
Board of their favorite pictures in the exhibition
showed the following results:
First: "Room in New York" by Edward Hopper
Second: "Hudson, March" by Henry Varnum Poor
Third: "Back Yards, Greenwich Village," by Sloan
Other paintings receiving popular votes were "The Wedding"
by Daniel Celentano, "Reading from Robert Frost" by Molly
Luce, and "Window Cleaning" by Aaron Douglas.

Dr. Thomson made a motion that the Board of Trustees
offer $1,000 for the Hopper painting. The motion failed to
carry, but another motion to the effect that the secretary
find out the lowest possible price that Mr. Hoer would
accept for his painting without committing the Board t any
action, was carried.

Professor Smith moved that the Board purchase Aaron
Douglas's painting, "Window Cleaning" at Mr. Douglas's price
of $100. This motion was carried unanimously.

Meeting adjourned.
