ART. EI.ORA A. MKSSINC.ER. The Art Department in its course aims at the development of the mind through the eye by awakening in the student an appreciation of the beautiful, and by training him to see correctly and to reproduce truthfully. The work consists in free hand drawing, in light and shade from geometrical solids, casts, and still-life. This leads to the more advanced work in color— painting from studies and from nature. The course gives the elements of art instruction in a way that opens up avenues of industrial success. Assistant Instructors. 2 A GEORGE E. KOPENHAVKR. A H MARTIN R STUBBS, Pu.L)
