PP1ESIDENT'S MESSAGE HIS is an appropriate occasion for me to review for all Institute students and graduates the basic principle that the Institute is committed to a policy of continued counseling for all its students and graduates. The counselors of the various departments stand ready to help with respect to problems of employment, problems of personal growth or advancement, or any other problem which confronts you. While it is expected that contacts with those who have completed the formal portion of their education will be somewhat fewer than with those who are regularly attending classes, we look forward to maintaining cordial relations with all of those men and Women who have been associated with us. The problems of life are sufficiently complex that, if one is to grow and advance intellectually and economically, one must continue studying current problems. In your attack upon these personal and professional problems the Institute counselors are always ready to help. Sincerely yours , WM i .180

APPLIED Ant PREVIOUS to 1910, the Art Department of the Institute occupied quarters in the Eastman Building. It was during this time that Mrs. Susan Bevier located in Rochester, coming from New York City, taking residence in the present Columbia Apartments across the street from the Eastman Building. She was a person greatly interested in young people, and also in art. When she found that just across A the street there was a school of art, she be- came acquainted with its activities, and pro- vided in her will for a bequest of a sum of money for the erection of an Art School in memory of her daughter. The present Bevier Building is the result of Mrs. Bevier's gener- osity, and it is known as the Alice Bevier Memorial Building. This building was completed and occupied in 1910. It is interesting to know that the Bevier Building is erected on the site of the home of Nathanial Rochester, the founder of the city which bears his name. The Rochester house was razed to make way for the Bevier Building. A plaque commemorating this fact is placed on the Spring Street side of the building. Keeping pace with the requirements and developments of the passing years, the various aft courses have been strengthened and a constant scrutiny is made with the purpose of maintaining the work on as high a level as is conceivably possible. Indi- vidualized education has always been necessary in the teaching of art, but with the individualized program developed in the last few years, the plan of study has made the art program even more effective.
