Humanities . . . x Art English JOHN W. CHANDLER (1952) Assistant l ' r. - feswjr of Art; A.B., St. Ansclem ' s College; M.Ed., Boston University. Until vc reached Lvcoming vc had onK a a ' ;uc knoulcdgc concerninj; art and its cc|iiallv aguc terms. Suddenly, we were exposed to the arts of the ancients, the classics, and the moderns. We waded through terms like finial, has relief. Ba- roque, expressionism, cubism, and futurism. We were introduced through application to the exciting world of the moderns. We studied the contributions of the (.reek, Ro- man, and Hcnnaissance artists to the later group. We learned the effects of the back- ground and the temper of the times in which the li ed and created. RapiclK we realized that an a]ipreciation of beaut -, in any forms was not to be criticized. One of the world ' s greatest pastimes is reading. From those ho instructed us in composition we learned the difhcult prob- lem of self-expression through writing. From this we developed a profound appre- ciation for those who created the master- pieces of world literature. We were intro- duced to the literature of the world with emphasis on that of England and America. We studied the lives of the great authors, their style and their contributions to us. We learned that oreat literature is interelat- ed with the fields of art, history, drama, politics, philosophy, religion— and in short, how it affects e ' erv phase of man ' s life. If TM K m.
