The applied arts exhibition which closed the last of October seemed most successful from the fact that there was a large representation of the various craft workers and over 900 objects were sold from the exhibition. It was one of the many temporary exhibitions in which a great amount of thought was given to installation details.
The prizes were awarded as follows: the Mrs. Julius Rosenwald prize for textiles to the Mountain Industries of Tryon, North Carolina; the Thomas F. Googerty prize, offered for the first time, to Weinold Reiss for his wood block prints; the Arthur Heun prize to encourage originality and standard in applied art to Lester H. Vaughan for his collection of pewter; the Mrs. Ogden Armour prize for pottery or glassware to the Moravian Pottery and Tile Works; the Mrs. Avery Coonley prizes for woven fabrics to the Flambeau Shops of New York and the Davenports of New Hope, Penn.; the Thomas J. Dee prizes for work in gold to Gertrude Peet and for work in silver to Gion M. Peruzzi and Bradford Holmes Peruzzi; the Mrs. Albert H. Loeb prize for original design in silverware to Old Newbury Crafters; the Mr. and Mrs. Frank G. Logan medal and prizes of $100 were given to the Edgewater Tapestry Looms and to the Pewabic Pottery, medal and $50 to the Greenwich House Pottery. Three stained glass panels made by Charles J. Connick, "Service," a replica of a vestibule window in the chapel of Boston University, and two of the St. Martin series made for the Cathedral of St. John the Divine; and a pewter bowl by Lester H. Vaughan were purchased by the Logan Fund for the permanent collection.
