He was an exhibitor at the Columbian Exhibition in Chicago and at a large num- ber of leading art exhibitions throughout the country contributing regularly to the West- ern Society of Artists, of which he is a member. He has received the gold medal of the Art Association of New Orleans. The exhibitions of his oil and water color paint- ings made on his summer travel trips with his wife, have delighted all who have seen them by the faithful characterization of architecture and landscape, interspersed with studies of the ocean. No more enjoyable occasions have been afforded art lovers than the opening views of his work following a summer of sketching. His paintings, pulsating with light and color, are trersured in dozens of homes of culture and taste. His duties in connection with exhibition have been notable, having been a member of the National jury of selection for the Louisiana Purchase Exposition, St. Louis; and Honorary Advisor for the Jamestown Exposition. He is Chairman of the Executive Committee of the Art Association of New Orleans. In the annual meetings of the Educational Associations his work is important, be- ing President of the Art Section of the Southern Educational Association, a member since its foundation of the Louisiana Art Teachers ' Association, and a member of the Royal Society for Encouragement of Art, Manufacturing and Commerce. He is also a master member of the Boston Society of Arts and Crafts. He is a charter member, and one of the original executive committee, of the Round Table Club, and is Chair- man of its Art Committee. As a student of art, he has traveled with his wife in various parts of Europe, as well as this country and Mexico, notably England, France, Germany, Spain and Italy, where he has prepared himself with observation of the masterpieces of art to lecture on Architecture, Sculpture, Painting and Art-craft, and is widely known as a lecturer in the South. He will, this coming summer, conduct an art study tour in Europe for the Bureau of University Travel. In the field of Art-craft-design he is an acknowledged authority, after twenty- five years of conspicuous achievement, and his work will have wide influence in placing the rigorous discipline of such work, as he conducts it, high in the creditable subjects in college courses. It is work such as he is doing which has overcome the prejudice formerly felt for the loose and vague studies formerly tolerated in girls ' colleges. At various times he has conducted reading circles for the study of the more serious books on the meaning and philosophy of art movements in the world. And finally, it can be said that no one seeking help was ever coldly received, or failed to receive as- sistance when applying to him. (11)
