MSC Forsyth exhibit
showcases masterpieces
Story by TImty Daugherty
(~ / he spring semester brings
/ scores of potential fresh-
v —^ men to Texas A&M to visit
landmarks such as the Lawrence
Sullivan Ross statue, Century TVee
and the Academic Building. How
ever, many students have been ven
turing to the MSC to visit another
landmark that houses an extensive
glass collection.
Texas A&M and the MSC Forsyth
Center Galleries is currently dis
playing “A Rich and Lasting Beau
ty: Masterpieces from the American
Cut Glass Association National Col
lection. ”
"A Rich and Lasting Beauty" is
the first in a series of several exhi
bitions that will be taken from the
American Cut Glass Association
collections and represents the ear
lier pieces of the national collection.
The glass is not part of the per
manent collection at the Forsyth
Center Galleries, but there are sev
eral permanent pieces of English,
American and Continental glass do
nated by Bill and Irma Runyon.

Timothy Novak, di
rector of the MSC
Forsyth Center Galleries
and curator of the Bill and
Irma Runyon Art Collec

would not be nearly as ex
ceptional without the Run
yon’s donations.
“Bill Runyon, he was
Class of ’35, donated every
thing as far as glass and
paintings [to the gallery),”
Novak said. “At the time, it
was the biggest gift we had
gotten from a single per
son, and it was an art col
lection.”
Novak said people
have come from all
over to see the
gallery’s glass collec
tion.
“[Bill Runyon’s
donation] made
this one of the
best collections
in the world,”
Novak said.
“We have better
English glass
here then [what
you can see in
England].
“Scholars,
researchers and
students come to
A&M to learn
about the exhibit.
We’ve got people
all over the world
