f LFIVIHIHHD Eepartment uf Qrt anh Qrrbeulugp Lectures in History of Art were given at the Seminary as early as 1874, and in 1878 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 1896. In 1902 the Dwight Memorial Art Building, erected at a cost of fll675,ooo, was opened to classes. The building in- cludes lecture rooms, department library, studios, gal- leries of sculpture and painting, and a room devoted to A the Clara Leigh Dwight Collection of Elbridge Kingslcy's engravings. The library now includes nearly 3,ooo volumes. Collections of photographs, prints and lantern MISS RANDOLPH slides have been carefully selected, and over 9,ooo pho- tographs are now used by the department. Through 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 archi- tectural models and casts. There is also a good beginning in original material, including examples of Egyptian pre-dynastic wares, objects of the dynastic periods in Egypt in bronze, alabaster, ivory, and terra cotta, Greek and Roman coins, ancient vases and vase fragments. The staff of instruction numbers six, and ofl' ers twenty-one courses in Art and Archeology. Studio work is done in con- nection 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.

The first telescope, six inches in aperture, was purchased in 18 5 3 and sheltered in a small observatory near the site of Williston Hall. In 1881 the john Payson Williston Observatory, the gift of Mr. A. L. Williston, Was completed. Its principal instruments are an eight- inch Clark telescope, mounted equatorially, a three-inch meridian circle and a Gaertner measuring machine for astronomical photographs. In IQO2 a lecture room was added to this building, and facilities for elementary observa- tion Work were greatly increased. Miss Bardwell, the first Miss YOUNG director of the observatory, began her Work here in 1866. After her death in 1899 she was succeeded by Miss Youngq Upon the first Wednes- day evening of each month the observatory is open to visitorsg and residents of neighboring towns, as Well as students of the college and their friends, are given an opportunity to see objects of interest with the telescope.
