JANUARY 1939 SENIORS ARE ESPECIALLY PROUD OF THE ANDREW CARNEGIE ART REFERENCE LIBRARY PRESENTED TO GRANT THIS FALL. GRANT WAS CHOSEN, FROM OTHER PORTLAND HIGH SCHOOLS, TO RECEIVE THE FIRST LIBRARY FROM THE CARNEGIE DONATION FUND. WHILE MANY SCHOOLS AND COLLEGES THROUGHOUT THE UNITED STATES WILL EVENTUALLY BECOME OWNERS OF INVALUABLE COLLECTIONS. NEATLY BOUND AND LABELED, PORTIONS OF THE LIBRARY ARE DEVOTED TO EXCELLENT PHOTOGRAPHS OF ARCHITECTURAL AND SCULPTURAL WONDERS OF THE WORLD. A GALLERY COLLECTION OF THE PAINTINGS OF FAMOUS MASTERS, MODERN AND MEDIEVAL, TECHNICAL AND FREELY ILLUSTRATED VOLUMES ON PHOTOGRAPHY, COSTUME DESIGN AND MANY OTHER CRAFTS, AND SKILLFUL COPIES OF ASIATIC PRINTS. PICTURES ON THE TWO PRECEDING PAGES ARE REPRESENTATIVE OF THE CARNEGIE PHOTOGRAPHY OF THE GREATEST EXPRESSIVE ART EVER KNOWN TO MANKIND. SCULPTURE. THE FIRST IS DONATELLO'S EQUESTRIAN PORTRAIT OF GATTA-MELATA DONE IN BRONZE DURING THZ THIRTEENTH CENTURY B. C. THE REMARKABLE MOSES BY MICHELANGELO. WHICH DATES TO THE SIXTEENTH CENTURY A. D., IS SECOND. IT HAS BEEN SAID OF THIS STATUE. WHICH IS NOW IN ROME, THAT SEEN FROM ALL SIDES. THE FACIAL EXPRESSION CHANGES FROM FLESH AND BLOOD KINDNESS TO MARBLE-COLD. WRATH. IT IS HOPED THAT THE COLLECTION WILL BECOME EVEN A MORE INTEGRAL PART OF FUTURE GRANT CLASSES. BUT THE SENIORS INSIST UPON A LITTLE PARDONABLE PRIDE.
