I I The Art Department, while perhaps one ol' the youngest, is, at the same time, is one of the strongest departments in the college. It was founded in 1914 by Miss V Edna M. Patzig,.wl1o was the supervisor for two years. Because of heryown Mp xp xy ability and the great interest she took in the work, the department flourished i Q and increased rapidly. ' J, I' I p ly Mrs. Webb 'took charge of the work in 1916 and under her- supervision the K if department has made steady progress toward ahiglifdegree of excellence. fftfi Mrs. Webb has introduced some of the newest features of Industrial Art. The table decoration course has proven to be one of the most popularf The N ., flowers made by the girls are surprisingly nat1u'al and the examination problems 5 1 of table decorations, which each girl must make, show a great deal of originality ff I J and true artistic beauty. The toy-making work also secures a great deal of in- Iraf' terest. - 1, V The prospects for a rapid growth are the best and there is every indication iff-, of an excellent department in the coming year.
