AWA MAVHFAV HATHAWAY 1409 ronininnwealth . ve., Allston, Mass. I.owell School of Desi.sn. Boston: Harvard Summer School Instructor in Color H.tr.monv ,l place above all earthly dignities, a still and quiet conscience.’’ .Miss Hathaway is as charmins as one of her own sketches and as clever. In the catalogue we find that her subject is Color Harmont ' . but in her class room we may include Art . ppreciation and Techni(|ue. Her lectures are stimulating and enriched with a whimsical phraseology that firmly impresses them upon our memories. Her criticisms are direct, but sympathetic, and carry no sting to the sensitive soul. In .Miss Hathaway ' s room we always find evi- dences of her appreciation of the beautiful by her charming arrangements of artistic treastires. THEROX I. CAIX .South Braintree.

Mr. Cain is imprinted upon our minds as a man of personality and friend- liness.

Cain has also shown us that the smallest hair casts its shadow.” As an artist, he has been especially interested in landscape painting and has held a recent e.xhibition of his work in Milton.

What a heritage the childhood of this (]uiet man must have been to reveal to him the whys” and wherefores” of things, the marvelous stock of folk lore, myths, and fables that he delights in passing on to us his children.” His wisdom is ever upon us. It is he who gives us our beau- tiful pageants, it is he who helps us in outside work where very subtle criticism is needed in the modelling of masques and ornaments: it i ■■ he who breathes life into all work by his very sincerity, his ability to make one imagine, nr to recall those half-forgotten, de ' i,ghtful experience of child hood.

She holds a wealth of information upon every subject and we feel safe in saying that she is a conversational match for her co-worker, Mr. George. DA.XIEE O. BREWSTER 1 7 Branch ,St., Boston. Mass.

The pleasing decorations on his friendly walls are also a delight to the many members nf his popular evening classes. Mr. Brewster is always a cordial host and ex- tends a warm welcome to his students when they visit his interesting studio on Beacon Hill. He is a master in the art of Pageantry and enters into this creative and imaginative field with the enthusiasm which is rewarded by satisfying success. 1

I.RXKSr L. MAJOR r ' enway SUidios, 30 Ipswich Si., Iloston. Mass. Slurlied at .Art Student ' s League and with Boulanger and Lefebre in Paris Instructor of Painting To let the piDihhmcnt jit the criim.’’ We shall long remember the bits of lihilosophx- and good advice with which •Mr. Major flavors his enlightening criti- cisms. His injunction to half close your eyes and stand on your head is still ring- ing in our ears and an occasional sharp remark reminds us that we are not ail Pitians yet. Mr. Alajor ' s compelling in- terpretation of Salome and Herodius which hangs in the beautiful new .Metro- peditan Pheatre is a center of much com- ment and admiration. RICHARD .WDRI ' .W Fenway Studios, 30 Ipswich St., Boston. Mass. Studied abroad with Laurens and Germone Instructor of .Anatomy W ' hnse life was work, whose, langiiaxe rijc With rugged maxims hewn from lije.” We are indebted to Mr. .Andrew for re- vealing to us the truths and beauties of his ubject and we find in his teaching the richness of a philosophy with which ex- perience has enriched him. The frown or the twinkle about his keen eyes forecasts the ever-puzzling twists of his nature, for we never know when he is scolding or when he is teasing us. His class is always well-attended and his students are re- warded by a wealth of interesting secrets of anatomy which are obscured to the cas- ual observer. Air. .Andrew is an admired exhibitor in our Boston .Art galleries and we are proud to claim him as an instructor of AI. S. A. AII.«;S FTHKL G.

S. .A. feel that in .Miss Bartlett we have a real friend, one who is interested in us and in our work. We know that Freshmen lose that home- sick feeling when the ' cross her friemlK- threshold. Aliss Bartlett specializes in personalities — at least that is the impres- sion that her students receive, and we never lose our individualities in her class room. Working to bring forth the best in every student, Aliss Bartlett is an inspira- tion to us all. Her e’ever arrangement of potter.v. drapery and flowers combined with her friendly spirit draws many to her room ;uid to water color as an elective.

Instructor in Dr.iwing and Painting I ntouehed with any shade of years May those kind eyes forever dwell. When we shall turn back the pages of our school life for pleasant memories of Iriends, Air. ' Cowell ' s eyes and mellow voice shall recall a citiiet personality of an elusive quality which is hard to define. He enjoys the company of young peop ' e and has been seen at many of the Class dances which he apparently enjoys. .As an instructor. Air. Cowell is greatly ad- mired since his criticisms are of a con- structive nature that is most helpful to the student. As an artist. Air. Cowell has represented paintin.es in churches and theatres in and around Boston and also in Illinois. WALTER JAMLSOX ,S 1 Walker St., Cambridge, Alass.

Air. Jamison flings wide the doors of culture and bids enter all those who would develop artis- tic literary taste. His lectures are crammed with most illuminating remarks on an end- less variety of subjects and he presents them with a rapier-like keenness. Ever reminding us to enlighten our hazy in- tellects by using the First .Aid to the Ig- norant. Air. Jamison cherishes the hope that we may sometime enable him to ascend from the .‘ ' lough of Despair. 1 il I

ALBERT S. KEXDALL 73 Parker St., Xewton Center, Tilass, Harvard Graduate, Study at Technology and Abroad Instructor in .Architectur.-u, Drafting, “He says but little and that little has much -weight.” Mr, Kendall seems a combination of the business man and artist with his artistic nature predominant. His brusque manner reminds us that he has more weighty things upon his mind than our struggles with the Ionic volute and confusing Corin- thian shadows; however, in spite of this, he has always considerately endured our seeming stupidity and has guided us safely through the mazes of the classic orders. MARTHA M. FLINT 267 High St,, Newburyport, lass. Study in Cincinnati, N, Y,, and Boston, Formerly on faculty of S, D. Taylor School Instructor in Costume Design “Firmness is the foundation oj the virtues. The instruction dispensed in Miss Flint’s course is always made fascinating by the practical and beautiful results which are the product of her experienced guidance. Besides her technical class-room assistance, she is always cheerfully willing to help costume our theatrical productions, wheth- er the problem be a Chinaman’s tunic or a warrior’s armor. IMiss Flint has served on the staff of the Gloucester School of the Little Theatre and is very clever at creat- ing pageantry costumes. She has the faculty of keeping her classes alertly in- terested and certainly does get results, though it may seem that the Costume De- signers are always just enjoying themselves as they chat over their seams and hems. ELLA IMCXSTERBERG 53 Westbourne Terrace, Brookline, Mass. Art Museum School, Radcliffe College Instructor — History of Art “U’e are pieces on the chess board oj being, -whence -we are laid aside. One by one into the cnffiji oj nothingness.” A magnetic personality that is ever di- verting. ever charming. How delightful it is to listen to one who has travelled ex- tensively abroad and who, like Dante, has absorbed some of the spirit of the times which she radiates to those who would hear. .A,rt History becomes not past, but present, a crucible of remarkable vividness and llame that lives by the sheer force of this magnetic, dark-eyed woman who plays with the very essence of age and transports it to the living present. LILLIAN A. PHILLIPS 36 Robinwood . ve , Jamaica Plain, Mass. .Mumnus, M.X.. .S.: Degrees, B.S., M.. ., Columbia University. Instructor in Crafts “In her we find these things combined — .Accomplishment oj hand and mind. Miss Phillips is most familiar to the members of the Junior and Senior Teacher Training Classes. She is a graduate of our school and is Vice-President of the .Alumni .Association. With an unbounded en- thusiasm for her work, she has so many tricks of handicraft at her finger tips that we marvel at her cleverness. She is very patient with our clumsy efforts and her lively sense of humor is a sure balm to any inferiority complex that may arise out of “slowness in uptake. Miss Phillips is interested and experienced in Occupa- tional Therapy and in Interior Decoration. LAURIEX H. MARTIN 14 Park St., Lowell, Mass. Student of DeCamp, .Arthur Gaskin and .Alexander Fisher of London Instructor Metal Crafts “Fame adds no more than does length oj days, quality is the thing.” The virtue of patience is indeed to be attributed to Mr. Alartin, for without it he could never endure the mistakes of his amateur craftsmen. He is a master in his line and is an instructor of long experience. He gives much pleasure by carefully guid- ing the creative instinct of his pupils and is rewarded by the production of many articles of utility and beauty. [ 16 ]
