Westminster College 27 Miss Lucie M. Manley, Director of Art Director of Art, Mansfield School; Studied in El- mira College for Women, The Art Students ' League of New York, and private study in Boston and Europe; Present position, 1 908 — . The Art Department HIS year has been one marked by enthusiasm and constant interest. During the pleasant autumn weather the students enjoyed outdoor sketching; and since the time has come to stay indoors, there has been no lack of variety in subject or method. With drawing from life and from cast, painting from still life and flowers, blackboard drawing, clay modeling, china painting, and design, even those girls who have worked seven hours each day have not seemed to weary in their well doing. The new two-year Normal Art Course is meeting with deserved favor on account of the increasing demand for specially trained teachers of Public School Drawing. We have also a flourishing class in ceramic decoration. Students enrolled here are doing thoroughly up-to-date work, some of the pieces in flat enamel and matt lustre being highly artistic. The course in History of Art is a most interesting one. The class is c omposed chiefly of Seniors. An added feature of this course is the evening lectures given by Miss Manley, and illustrated by means of the reflectroscope. This year one student will be graduated from the four year course in drawing and painting, and two from the Normal course. The outlook for next year is most auspicious. We hope that still more will begin to realize that the appreciation of art is a rich source of happiness, and that there is joy in knowing not only that a thing is beautiful, but why it is beautiful.
