FINE ART GALLERY.

Citizens of Champaign and Urbana have contributed over $2,000 for casts in plaster and plastique of some of the most celebrated, ancient and modern statuary, to be selected this summer in Rome, Florence, Paris, London, and other great art centers. The collection will also include a large number of busts of celebrated men, and copies of architectural and other sculptures. The University already has a large collection of valuable pictures, portraits and photographs, of large size, of famous places, paintings and buildings, which will be increased by new purchases to be made in Europe. A beautiful hall nearly 60 by 80 feet has been set apart to receive these collections. The value of the fine arts in general education, and in their reactive influence on the useful arts, is just beginning to be appreciated in this country.
