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
