Couise ?itz=Randolpb LOUISE Fitz-Randolph was born June 25, 185 1, in Chautauqua County, New York, whither, when that region was but little settled, her family had moved from near Newburgh-on- the Hudson. The pioneer instinct may have been an inherited one; for we read of the Rev. Francis Bell, one of the ancestors of Mrs. Randolph, who went as first pastor from Boston to the colony of Stamford, Ct., “with few worldly possessions, but with the Bible under his arm and the love of God in his heart.” The Fitz-Randolph family is of Scotch descent. Miss Randolph entered Mount Holyoke in 1869, and, four years after graduation, began teaching in Lake Erie Seminary, Painesville, Ohio, where she still continues her instruction during a part of each year. Few, if any, attempts had been made to adopt History of Art to the needs of college curricula when Miss Randolph began the work. The course which has thus been developed under her study is one of peculiar breadth and symmetry. After spending the year ’ q-’So at the Boston University, she went abroad for nearly three years, visiting the various art centres of Europe, and extending the journey as far east as Constantinople. Five trips have followed, varying in length from three months to two years, and making possible a long and repeated study of the best examples in architecture, and of the masterpieces of the great galleries. Miss Randolph has also studied at the American School of Archaeology at Athens; and during continued residence in London and Paris, has enjoyed exceptional opportunities in attending lecture courses by Prof. G. G. Zerffi, of the South Kensington Art Schools, M. Callignon and M. Maspero of the College de France, and others scholars of equally acknowl- 15

edged authority in Archaeology and Art History. Results formed from work in’ the great libraries of London, Paris, and Berlin, are counted by Miss Randolph of especial value in her preparation. The itinerary of the various trips is an extended one, and covers some less beaten paths of travel, such as the valley of the Danube, the Troad, Spain, Syria, and the upper Nile. In three of the shorter journeys, young ladies, mostly students of her Art History classes, have accompanied Miss Randolph. The photographs and engravings alone collected during her travels now number about five thousand. These form an exceptionally fine supplement to the course, since they were all directly chosen for the one purpose. There are also about five hundred lantern slides selected abroad in the same way, to use in lectures, the number increasing each year. From ’83 to ‘89 Miss Randolph gave courses of lectures in the Western Reserve School of Design, Cleveland, and before the several art leagues of Pittsburgh, Saginaw, and Northern Ohio. Her connection with the Art Department of Mount Holyoke College began in 1892. As a teacher, Miss Randolph unfailingly inspires her classes with her own thoroughness, accuracy, and breadth of appreciation. And by a dignity which is gracious, and a sweetness which is strong, she has always made more real, to those who have studied with her, the truest ideals of their Alma Mater. Grace Burroughs, ’96. 16
