Fortunately Lydia Modi Vitale is not a member of that majority, and never has been. In her time as director of the De Saisset Gallery she has acquired a reputation for encouraging the new, the exciting, and the different . artistic endeavors.

The expressionist blobs of Sam Francis seemed to capture the spirit of today while the curt-toned photographs of Edward Curtis, the nineteenth century photographer, seemed to present the lifestyle of the American Indian. Also visiting the Mission Campus during the quarter was Douglas Davis, the noted New York film critic and videotape artist, who made a number of tapes for his De Saisset showing using the students and scenery of Santa Clara University. But by far the most controversial and intriguing show of the quarter was the presentation of Robert Rauschenberg ' s corrugated cardboard collages.
