School of' Art The School of Art was organized in 1885. It first occupied a portion of Music Hall. The school grew steadily in the number of students and variety of work until it became necessary to have 'larger accommodations. It was then allowed a building of its own, and was given Simpson Art Hall, the historic building of the University. This was formerly the home of the Bishop Simpson who was at one time president of DePauw University. The school has continued to advance in art idea and in lines of wo1'k emphasized in the best schools of the country. There are full courses offered in all kinds of drawing and shad- ing, in oil and water color painting, in china decoration and wood carving. Provision is made in the various departments for those who wish to pursue a fragmentary course or special lines of work. Within the last three Q0 years a complete course has been added with reference to preparing teachers of drawing for Public Schools. The School of Art maintains an Art and Crafts Club. In this club art principles are applied to materials, the students making many articles of beauty and utility. Composition and Design is also an important feature of the school. The faculty is composed of competent and experienced teachers. Dean Mansfield divides her time between the oversight of the work in tl1e Music School and in the School of Art. Miss Margaret Overbeck has charge of the Composition and Design Class, the Public School Course, and the classes in China Decorating. Miss Bessie M. Smith is the teacher of VVater Color, lVood Carving and Sketching from Life.
