L K .,., . 4 .. .i.. . ., ., , ,. The Art Department has taken on a new life during the last two years thru the consistent efforts of Mrs. XYhittemore and her assistants. Interest has been aroused in the city and state as well as in College circles. Several ex- hibitions of the work done in the department. and two annual exhibitions of Living Pictures representing famous paintings have been greatly appre- ciated. One outstanding feature of this year's work has been the association of Merrill Gage, sculptor and painter, with the work of the department. Mr. Gage has been associated with some of -Xl'llCl'lCZl'S greatest artists all of whom speak most highly of his work. No doubt the department now entertains one who is destined to become famous as painter and sculptor. The Art Department HE Art Department occupying the upper tloor of Boswell Hall, bids fair to outgrow its quarters. The classes in History and Apprecia- tion of Art have been much larger than here-to-fore, a fact which proves that the work offered meets a desire for a greater knowledge of the creation of beauty on the part of students in the college. This work re- ceives collegiate credit in the sophomore, junior and senior classes. The stock of pictures and casts of the XYorld's masterpieces has been greatly increased by both gifts and purchase. and now available space is taxed to the utmost. The department of Interior Decoration. open this year with Mrs. Elizabeth Hand as instructor. has made a winning appeal with large classes working out problems of color, line and form as applied to household furnishings and equipment. The department of design as desirable for porcelain decoration has found strong and vital support under the direction of Miss Marie XYitwer. Fifty-three
