The Art Department ., I F, gb . Q notice all the ups and downs, successes and failures of the year in the Studio in this brief Q ,l:.l.ff.,f pf sketch would be impossible, and yet to us they all seem important. Come forth into the V, light of things, let Nature be your teacher, fell from the lips of XVordsworth, and we feel 41 5 that we have been taught to appreciate its truth. So popular in fact has been the study of Nature that we have all, without exception, incorporated into almost every possible form ru f the Fidus Acliatesf' Inspired by the love of Nature we have adopted the Mysterious . i .r dr' -1 7' N2 w wf Blue Flame of the Iris as our Howerg the Fleur-de-lis that accompanies us in our summer Wir- pleasures, pouring out its fragrance upon the air. And above all our actions we hold our color Blue emblematic of 'l'ruth. And so we would by these symbolize the fact that true Art is Love of Nature, supported by an appreciation of the Noble, the Beautiful, and the True. The most important event of the year was the1Xrt Reception. The parlors were transformed into a veritable Art Gallery, and on all sides were to be seen pictures, prints, and sketches which showed alike talent and faithful work. tSo we have been toldl, each deserved a prize but when the Poster Contest closed we realized that all do not see alike. XVell it is possibly better, it is embarrassing to have one's work marked Prize XVinner, it makes one so sought after 1? l. Our teacher, Miss Florence liarle Mcliay, has shown the patience of the proverbial job in her work, and this, added to her talent and knowledge of her calling, has made the year one of much pleasure and proht. It is the hope ofthe .Xrt Class of '03 to accomplish more than an average in Art, and so we shall strive to make in deed and in truth Artists. XVe would not, if we could, replace any of the Great Masters, all honor to their Grand Creations. The world has been blessed and uplifted by them, but we hope the skillful hand of some member of the Class of '03 will produce something that will tell to the world our conception of Art and will take its place among the Great Conceptionsf' How noble it is to draw by the aid of talent a great lesson from Nature and show to the human race the Soul of the picture.
