Rhode Island School of Design. HE Rhode Island School of Designwas incorporated April 5, 1877, and was formally opened the following year. The broad principles stated in its constitution well express the character of the work undertaken by the Corporation and Instructors. These purposes are: Fzbavt, The instruction of artisans in drawing, painting, modeling, and designing, that they may successfully apply the principles of art to the requirements of trade and manufactures. Second, The systematic training of students in the practice of art, that they may understand its principles, give instruction to others, or become artists. Third, The general advancement of art education by the exhi- bition of works of art and art studies, and by lectures on art. The gradual and healthy development of the School to its present -position in connection with the artistic and industrial development of the State, is evidence of the sound basis upon which it was founded. During its twenty-five years' existence, no essential change has been found necessary in the aims originally proposed by the founders of the School, although various courses of study have been extended or broadened, and new courses have been added to meet the require- ments of industrial advancement, or to strengthen the quality of students' work. The School awards its diploma for the satisfactory completion of its regular courses in freehand drawing, painting, modeling. architec- ture, decorative, textile, and mechanical design, and in addition affords opportunity for the special study of drawing and design by any person competent to enter its day or evening classes. The Museum of the School is practically the only public art museum in the city, and its galleries are opened daily throughout the year, free to all. 5 -x
