To PAUL PHILLIPPE CRET N the realm of art the relation of student to teacher is peculiarly close and personal. It is from master to pupil and not by the impersonal precept of the written page that, in all ages and among all peoples, the spirit and the craft of Art have been handed down in one unbrokeh line of development. Wherefore the relation of student to teacher is that of disciple to leaderg one of unquestioned faith, loyalty and, it may be, affection. GI In such relationship the power and personality of the master are all important, for in the atmosphere they create, and there only, can the finer essence-the enduring principle-of art be absorbed by the pupil. A GI Paul Cret stands as the embodiment of this ideal. Revered for his talents, his instruction is sought with eagerness and accepted as the voice of authority. Respected for breadth of view and catholicity of judgment, admired as a man and loved as a friend, he has earned as a teacher the enduring respect and affection of the student body: GI For this reason the Class of Nineteen-Ten dedicates to him the record of their student days.
