Every art student ut Ohio VVesley:i,n may I10t beconlo un artist, may llUYt'l' puint El, picture, but hu will, if lu- hus eyes und the ability to use flu-nl, sec new avenues of interest and bounty stretching out before him day by day. The student of lzuldseape and color will soon find tho long summer street turned into at nmrvclous succession 0fC'llElI1g.flHg light and shade, bright with blotrhes of yellow sunshinc dancing against the purple richness of the shadows. Grass is no longer just green and the sunset snow holds :L wculth of color. 'l'hus does an nrt education broaden one's vision. The work is in- intensoly intvrc-stin,9,'. lVhether it be water color study or clmreoul sketch, problem in design or china cup upon which onu is working, there is an attraction about it which nnikvs even the passage of time unnoticed. The 1Il2lSl0l'y of the sznne difficulties of technique, the enduring of like failures and the scoring of similar triumphs seem to produce fl, feeling of kinship among art students, here and everywhere, that finds expression in social festivities, some commonplace and some unique. Such tlu-n arc some of the plcasurcs that Lyon llull offers to those who 1-ntvr its doors to become ournest students of urt. ill 32

n I JJ ea Tliere are art schools much more widely known, and there are art sl-hools more widely attencled, hut it a question whether there are alt schools that can give their students any more happiness in their work than they get right here at Ohio NVes1eyan. Art Hall or Lyon Ilall, as it is now 1,-allecl, is so picturesque in its very location that latent artistie ability cannot help but lnifohl under the inliuences of such surroundings. Attracted by the ex- terior, one is not clisappointecl hy the interior of Lyon Ilall, for, with the quaint nooks and eorners, the winding' stair and tower besides the more eonnnonplace features, it furnishes a suitable environment for the study of the things of art. But more important than all else is the work itself, for, ill spite of the contrary opinion helcl hy the average eollegian, the art stu- dent does put in many hours of hard work. At the same time the student of art is acquiring the technique of the various arts, he gains an increased power of appreciation of beauty in art and na- ture, and, in such degree as it lies in him, an ahility to reprocluee such ln-auty satisfactorily. 31
