THE. LLAMARADA Bepnrtnnivnrt nf Art sinh Arrlinenlngg Lectures in history of art were given at the seminary as early as IS74, and in l878 history of art became a regular part of the course of study. From almost the opening year instruction in drawing has held a recognized place. With the growth of the department an appeal for an art building was made in IS96. In l902 the Dwight Memorial Art Building, erected at a cost of IiS75,000, was opened to classes. The building includes lecture rooms, department library, studios, galleries of sculpture and painting, and a room devoted to the Clara Leigh Dwight Collection of Elbridge Kingsley's en- gravings. The library now includes nearly 3,000 volumes. 'UQ Collections of photographs, prints and lantern slides have been carefully selected, and over 9,000 photographs are now used by the department. Through the gifts of alumnae and friends the collection of casts has come to include representative examples in pre-Greek, Greek, Roman, and Renaissance sculpture, with some architectural models and casts. There is also a good beginning in original material, including examples of Egyptian pre-dynastic waresg objects of the dynastic periods in Egypt, in bronze, ala- baster, ivory and terra-cotta: Greek and Roman coins, ancient vases and vase fragments. The staff of instruction numbers six and offers twenty-one courses in art and archaeology. Studio work is done in connection with nearly every course. Dwight Hall has proved admirably adapted to its purpose of art study and exhibition. Books and illustrative material are brought side by side and the advantage is increasingly afforded of using casts and photographs, with journals, reference books,and all standard authorities, ready at hand.

-I-HE LLAMARADA Erpartmrnt nf taiatnrg In the early days of the seminary a brief outline of general history and a course in ecclesiastical history appear among the ornamental branches required of all students. United States History was from the first required for admission, and a commendable stress was laid on ancient and modern geography. Between 1860 and I870 a distinct advance was made by the introduction of a constitutional text-book: and coincident with the coming of Miss Prentiss in I866, the abolition of the older text-book system and the extension of the general outline course to two years, mark a method of historical study much more liberal than was at all common in those days. The philosophy of history was emphasized and the student was led to reflect. ,lust as Miss Prentiss laid down the general lines for the two full years in mediaeval and modern history included in the present course, so Miss Soule, coming in IS96, gave the Hrst great stimulus to the study of constitutional and economic history. It is the aim of the present department to continue the tradition established by Miss Prentiss and Miss Soule, adding those more specialized and advanced courses which the growth of the col- lege has made possible.
