Dancing Cranes Resemble Man, Duke University

Passmoore, Works Of Alexander & I.V.

Lilly's Thomas Room is filled with arresting imagery from the Orient. This "immortal riding crane" embodies many human ideals: elegance, empathy, dance... They've even graced the Japanese Yen with their image. The gruiform tribe has something special. It's unfortunate that more birds don't share the anthropomorphic features which keep us from stamping them out.
Series Description: Scenes from the Harvard of the South, in Durham, North Carolina. Formerly Trinity College, it rose to prominence after a tobacco magnate opened his checkbook in the 1930s. See also dmoz.org/...Colleges and Universities/...Duke University/, and the Geisha series, painted at Lilly Library.
