Morton May '36 Exhibits 44 Years of His Photography

"Points of View," a striking assemblage of 44 years of photography by Morton May '36, appeared last month in the Jaffe-Fried Gallery, Hopkins Center.

Although many of his photographs have appeared in publications, they have been signed "Satsuki," (the Japanese word for the month of May), and the signature Morton May became known only last December with the opening of "Points of View" at Washington University in St. Louis, his home town.

A prominent business man, civic leader, art collector, and patron of the arts. Buster was already an experienced photographer in his undergraduate years, as classmates may recall. He iniinitiated his own "foreign study program" in thothose days, taking some months away from camcampus to tour Russia, Manchuria, and Japan forfor the March of Time. Other photographs of thethe more than 80 in the exhibition came from thethe days he served as a lieutenant aboard an aircracraft carrier in the South Pacific. The collection reflects also his extensive travels since then, as well as his all-encompassing interest in everything around him.

The College has received generous gifts of art from the "newly-discovered" photographer and loans from his extensive German expressionist collection. It benefitted further in April with the opportunity to see Morton May's "Points of View."

For once, Buster May '36 finds himself atthe other end of the lens - before a workof his own at Hopkins Center.
