SCHOOL OF ART AND DESIGN.

PROFESSOR FRANK FORREST FREDERICK. EDITH ADELAIDE SHATTUCK.

This school subserves a twofold purpose, (i) It affords to the students of the several colleges the opportunity to acquire such a knowledge of free hand drawing as their chosen courses may require. (2) It offers to such as have a talent or taste for art the best facilities for pursuing studies in industrial designing or other branches of fine art. Special students, not otherwise connected with the University, may enter this school upon payment of very moderate fees. In all courses the work is made of direct benefit to the students in other lines, and at the same time it aims to develop in them a love for, and an appreciation, of the beautiful. Work must be taken at the times indicated below and all students must satisfactorily complete the requirements of each term before taking up that of the next.

EQUIPMENT AND FACILITIES.

The art gallery is of much use to students of this school. A description of this is given on page 22. The school owns a large number of casts of ornament from the Alhambra and other Spanish buildings, presented by the Spanish government. Also another valuable set of casts from Germany, illustrating German Renaissance ornament. In addition the school owns all the casts and models usually found in an art school, together with a large number of objects for still life. Students have the use of the collection of American and foreign drawings and photographs, numberingseveral thousands, belonging to the department of architecture, and of the University library which is particularly rich in works on art. The principal English and American art magazines are found in the reading room. COURSES OF STUDY. 1. For Special Students of Art and Design.—First year, first term.
