Beauty and bushes filed the artistic halls
of the Yale Art school last evening and the
cold marble seemed to partake of the happy
life and lovely bloom of the handsomely
dressed ladies. The fairest of Yale's fair
commencement visitors came to swell the
presidents reception and turned the gay gall
leries into the most fascinating of prone
nades The sedate quiet of the room in the
left wing that is filled with rare old cathedral
carvings in wood and a1abaster was not dis
turbed, but from the fantastic arches of lat
tice work might be seen the animated face of
some pretty blonde as conversation with her
escort waved more lively. Upon the walls
of the lower galleries were sketches and mod
els of marvellous beauty and the adEiring
throng paused to gaze upon the many choice
productions of excellent execution. The rear
gallery of the second floor was heavily hung
with modern masterpieces and ancient art.
The copies of Raphael's wonderful work and
reproductions of Michael Angeles brush
were placed in artistic groups and enveloped
in food OF light. Long divans through the
center Of this gallery were filed with
ladies and their happy college friends.
The main hall at the front OF the
building was beautiful with art and gay with
life Antique paintings and hfe-ike por-
traits brought :Yale's great days and scholars
again to mind and cast . strange glory over
the many struggles and victorious lifeof the
university. Here the guests of the evening
were received by President Dwight, and the
trials of the birth and early life of the great
institution forgotten in the pleasure of grasp
ing the presidents haRd. The large hall
Joining the two galleries was filed with must
clans, whose lively harmontes awoke the
sleeping echoes from their musty beds under
the ceiling and sent them chasing each other
through the airy rooms OF the building.
Here were also easy rests where the prone
naders paused to rest after meeting the
president and feasting their eyes on exquisite
scenes in the galleries. Among those mo-
ticed besides President Dwight and family
were: Prof. Day and wife, Prof Brush, wife
and daughters, the Misses Day of New Al
