At this Institute of Art-the Art of a Catholic Education-studios wel- come craftsmen from eight in the morning until four in the afternoon, every day except Saturday and Sunday. While the building is open to the public throughout the term, the main galleries offer special dis- plays of student procedure during the annual exhibit at the termina- tion of the scholastic year. Students are always eager to submit entries for this exhibit knowing that visitors to the galleries-guided through by the etchers' angels-will be those who appreciate their efforts. Whether etchers employ the ordinary acid-bath method of both acknowledged masters and contemporary artists, or desire the roughened plate of a mezzotint rocked in the daily routine of class- work with holiday-burnished highlights, or design a dry-point of factual information, depends entirely upon the obiective in view. For extra- curricular activities manifesting an ease of expression, they seem to prefer the use of aquatints in which the surface is dotted by the rosin of various activities, or a simple soft-ground penciled with the rhythmic line of good times. Whatever the medium employed, they step cour- ageously from the Art Institute of a silver today, prepared to etch, if they will, a glorious tomorrow.

ibeokca fion To the Sisters of Charity of the Blessed Virgin Mary, who, under the guidance of the Master Artist, having grounded the plate with the acid-resistant covering of a Catholic Education, and having trained their students to cut therein the design of their futures, prepare them to meetlthe acid-test of Iife's surroundings, we, the etchers of the lmmaculata, dedicate these final proofs of the silver ye-ar 1945-46. ln recognition of lessons well-learned, we place them at the feet, of Our Lady, the masterpiece of the Master Artist.
