g TH E CA R D I N AL The gift of the Class of 1923 to their Alma Mater consists of the central pane] in a group of mural paint- ings that through the cooperation of succeeding classes will eventually grace the front of Normal Hall. These murals, which are painted especially for this purpose by George Lawrence Nelson of New York City, have as their central theme the Graduate-Teacher. The above engraving is from the artist ' s first pen drawing. This drawing has since heen slightly modified yet the engrav- ing conveys a fairly good idea of the composition of the panel which will be ten feet in height and six in width. The panel depicts the Graduate-Teacher in the act of receiving his credentials from the hand of a symbolic figure of the State who is pointing to the Alma Mater seated above. The Alma Mater holds a tablet on which she is inscribing the names of her illustrious sons and daughters. On either side of her are .symbolic figures of application and industry as pertaining to the acquisi- tion of education. These are respectively a young woman studying from a hook and a young man working with dividers upon an unfinished plan. Panels to be added later are to be all related to the central unit in a very definite manner. The whole arrangement when framed will occupy a space 12 feet in height and 25 in length adequately and inspiringly decorating the most commanding wall space in the entire school. 13
