The Fine Arts

The Fine Arts.

The other room is especially pleasant to look at, as befits the home of the fine arts. The Carnegie collection consists of 2200 prints and photographs and 250 books on art. Here the student whose senses have been dulled by laborious days will find rest and refreshment.

A great variety of good things are here. He will rejoice in the sober loveliness of the Italian primitives, the graceful height of a Gothic cathedral or the balanced perfection the graceful height of a Gothic us can be indifferent?

The 250 books on the History of Art are varied. We hear that the editors of Cappricals have gleaned much from a study of some of the books on the art of advertising. There are books on dress-design. It is pleasant to think that our eyes may be gladdened by dresses with stately and graceful lines. There is a fascinating book on Chinese painting, and a daring one, called "Art Now," which is already very popular. But it is invidious to mention single books among such an abundance of good things. This room should be the happy hunting-ground of every student.

Unfortunately many students cannot now enjoy this room, since it closes at 5 We hope that in the future it will be open at least some nights in every week.
