U: I Art for art's sake. WO years devotion to art and not a single master- piece with which to please our fond mammas and bore our friends. The artistic production of beauti- ful little watercolor sketches, which adorn so many army homes, ceased upon the retirement of Professor I Weir in IS76. But this was not remarkable, for - undoubtedly the general development of military science would soon have demanded a change. The artistic must have given place to a more technical character of work, even to the absolute exclusion of the former. Engineering, ordnance construction, topography and building construction all required the more technical course of study. The usefulness of drawing to a soldier is undoubtedly centered' in to- pography, and the ability to read maps, as well as to portray terrain. With this end in view the Drawing Department succeeded in afHicting us with two years of what some seemed to enjoy, while others hid their feelings. 1 The yearling course was modern in the extreme and most of us were convinced that we were studying the latest Cubist,s methods. But at last even subjects in free hand were exhausted and the Spring work terminated' with a topographical map of the post. Needless to say this afforded some choice opportunities for pipe dreams of that Furlough femme, and who is surprised that the standards of map making were rather low, in spite of instructors' energetic efforts to keep in touch with our progress. The next year the work was more advanced and we drew everything from a right section of a six-cylinder gasoline engine to a monkey wrench, and congratulated ourselves when the Instructor said, with puckered brow, ul think, perhaps, that will Work, Mr. gWiff?lW Dumbguard, but it's not exactly the standard typef, 215,641 Avaunt! the days of worrying over chisel points of Q .proper length, and Rhinehardt lettering of standard if lllgqx slope are oier and it's only a few months more before ,Kgs-,fag Vip we will be drawing a 2nd Lt's pay. .
