Non-Departmental Fine Arts Good painting is a music 1 f 1 of nr i intellect only can apprcciatr at with difficulty. V , . the Qg t, ' In every heart there is an inherent love for beauty. We are made so that we respond to the ideal and the in- finite even though we cannot and do not fully comprehend either. The beauty that we seek is definitely found in art where the artist deals exclusively with things as they at'- fect the human soul. Art is the in- terpretation of the great eternal real- ities of life. Throughout the ages philosophers and intellectual men have been unable to agree about what and who Christ is: but human hearts in every generation have united in love for this matchless personality in whom the ideal ot' all men, individ- ually and collectively, is realized. Here at Oakwood we feel that the universal love ot' beauty is one ot' the resources of human life that Christ- ianity ought to pervade with its spirit, and claim as its own. No wonder John Keats declared: Beauty is truth, and truth beauty.
