LOWE MUSEUM RECEIVES	The Lowe Art Museum has been se-
ESSO ART COLLECTION	lected by Esso Inter-America Inc. as
the recipient of the “Esso Salon of Young Artists,” an art collection valued in excess of $100,000.
James F. Dean, president of Esso Inter-America in Coral Gables, presented the collection consisting of 59 works of art, both paintings and sculpture, to President Stanford October 8. In accepting the gift, Dr. Stanford said, “Esso and its Latin American subsidiaries have been great friends of the University for many years. We are most appreciative of this latest, most generous contribution.”
John J. Baratte, director, Lowe Art Museum, said, “This exhibition and collection gives the Museum a strong base in the direction of establishing a center for Latin American art.” The collection will be exhibited at Lowe this December.
The exhibit came into being as a result of an art contest sponsored throughout Latin America in 1964 by Esso, with the aid of the Pan American Union.
