HISTORY OF ART ei banging doors and cries for lost coats and hats and much pushing and shoving, students finally manage to avoid each other’s arms and legs, and with coats half on and with hats in hand to dash for vs }, the door and down the street. What is it all about? A Fawcett class out for aire Goodness no! Out for knowledge. Travels ahead. Not only through Europe, Asia, and Africa but up through the ages. Once a week the students leave their own attempt toward the artistic and go across-the street to the Academy Street Annex, there to learn what others have done in the ages past. One can learn these things from the books, but how much easier it is to learn that Rembrandt was a Dutch painter or that the Pyramids were Egyp- tian from lectures by our interesting instructor,—each lecture illus- trated with lantern slides, giving double advantage of the spoken word and the pictures.

We all answer, “It is.” Ay LILLIAN PLANK CONTESTS 1927-1928 Book JAacket—Howard R.
