engravings. The list of his articles published in the best magazines, such as the Century, Harpevds and Scr'ibner's, is a long one, not to mention those still more numerous articles which have been contributed to newspapers, and to libraries of books, like Wa1'ner's Woi'ld's Best Literature. Besides all this he has written many introductions and notes for new editions of books-the last one being an introduction to a new edition of the memoirs of Benvenuto Cellini. and is at present also editing a text-book series, called College Histories of Art to which, besides the editor, Princeton and Columbia professors have contributed. ' Of course this great productivity soon obtained other kinds of recognition. Invitations to lecture on art topics began to pour in, and a kind of work was forced upon him to which he had not at all looked forward. He proved, however, that here too he was master of the situation, and has become in the last few years widely known as an interesting and fascinating lecturer. He has lectured in many cities from Montreal to VVashington, from Boston to Chicago. While his lectures before general audiences have deen highly successful, he has done most of his lectur- ing at colleges and institutions of learning. Rutgers College honored him with the degree of LL.D., made him Professor of the History of Art, and he has regularly given a course of lec- tures on art before the Senior Class for a number of years. So, too, he has delivered the Uni- versity lectures at Princeton, Harvard and other universities, and for a dozen years has been the chief lecturer on art at Columbia. During the vacations not iilled by visits to Europe, Dr. Van Dyke has been quite an ex- tensive traveller in this country. He has seen nearly every part of the United States, and knows something of Indian, cowboy and backwoods life. At present he is in the mountains of Southern California studying mountain forms with the idea of a new book. His social acquain- tance is large, and includes most of the men prominent to-day in art and literature. He lives here in New Brunswick, keeping bachelor's hall, but of late much of his time is spent else- where. In New York alone he is a member of half a dozen clubs, including the Century, the Union League, the Players' and the Authors'. Though only forty-three years of age, he has already added distinction to the College that has honored him, and we doubt not that the years to come will bring him higher honors to round out a distinguished and useful career. 10
