THEY STUDIED ROME.
An extra meeting Of the Italian Art de-
partment was held on Friday afternoon
at the home of Mrs. o. A. Reach. This
session concludes a very brief study
continued from last year of Roman his
tory. legend and art. The course Of study
has covered a slight survey of pictorial
art from the crude representations upon
the walls Of the Catacombs 10 the high
est achievements of Raphael and Michael
Angelo in the Vatican. While Rome her
self never developed a school of art from
within, yet from without at the papal
summons came the greatest artists of the
age, and during the Renaissance Rome
was a focus OF highest literary and art
istic culture. BrintOn says that no word
Of Rome al this period is complete with
oUt some reference to the character of
Pope julius IT, who assumed the tiara in
1903. He is one of the most commanding
figures in the long line of papal success
sion. he was no collector or diuetante,
no subtle scholar. but one whose visions
ferred those arts which embody some
great idea to those which merely fatter
luxury; who sought to see those ideas
take shape around him in living, creative
work mo book for me-" he cried to
Michael Angelo. Give me the sword"
This was the mans temperament, part
of that indomitable energy and passion
which seems ike smouldering fire,
which seems ready to blaze forth even
in the magnificent portrait Of him which
Raphael painted and which now hangs in
the Pitt gallery in Florence
The ladies were afforded a delightful
treat in q charming reading given by
Mrs Smell, director of the Dramatic
School of the AlbeTtus Magnus College.
The subject CHOSEN for the reading was
the italian tragedy OF "Paola and Fran
ccsca. a remarkably beautiful and pow
erful drama by Stephen Phillips, whom
Mrs. Smell described as a young man of
leisure, wealth and of the Catholic faith.
Mr. Phillips play was first produced on
the stage of Mr.. George AleXander's Lon
don tneater and was considered one of
the finest successes. in the dramatic
world, of that season.
Robert Martin Staples, the violinist,
played Bohm's "Iegende" in fine form,
with a DELIGHTFULLY."- graceful interpreta-
ton Of this masters melodies and poetic
al composition.
Mrs Z. Z. Higginson was the accom-
PIANIST for Mr.. Staples. Mrs. Hamilton
gave an interesting account of her eX-
periences and Impressions OF Rome. She
affirmed that If she might be permitted
to see but one foreign city, her choice
would be Rome. After describing many
Of the Eternal City's Characteristic sights
she wittiy referred to one monument of
Italy's capital which is IS lasting as the
Seven Hills and as persistent as time
itseli-that il. The Roman beggar, both n
picturesque sight and a monumental
fraud
The remainder of the time was spent in
examining Photographic reproductions Of
famous Italian paintings and sculpture.
