Wabash Chapel watercolor

Katie Nutt Wilkinson donated the painting presented to Faye E. Nutt

In 1946 a Wabash College Professor asked Faye E. Nutt to welcome a Japanese student and a German student to campus and to help them feel welcome in the community.  World War II had just ended. Henrey Kalahashi and Klaus Wolfe welcomed the affection and in return presented Nutt with this watercolor of Wabash Chapel at the end of their Wabash careers in 1950.  One of the artists sketched the building while the other used watercolor, resulting in a remarkable painting.
