SIU Art Exhibits Boom Under Shryock's Leadership
The Allyn Art Gallery at Southern Illinois University hosts the Ball-Bohrod exhibit as part of a rapid expansion of the university art department. Since 1950, under Bur nett H. Shryock, the department has grown with new facilities, doubled faculty, expanded curriculum, and a dedicated art service for SIU publications and graphics. The program also offers master of arts degrees and courses in extension and adult education, highlighting standout new staff like F. Carlton Ball and Fred Lauritzen. The department reports strong enrollment in outreach classes, including jewelry making in Mt. Vernon with ninety registrants. The piece notes Shryock’s praise for a young, ambitious faculty driving innovation. A stray final paragraph mentions Irish potatoes as native to South America per the National Geographic Society.
