Prof. Po|and's Lecture Victory
Over West Side BowIsTs.

iTOleSSOr roland gave the Hitn III MS
series of public lectures last evening In
Sayles hall before fair-sized audience.
The subject was Painting from Early
Times" with especial reference To Ital-
ian painting. The early graphic work was
described and the art OF the Palaeolithic
age touched upon. Egypt, Chaldea, AS
syria, Persia and other oriental countries
furnished their part of the primitive be-
ginnings OF the art OF painting. Much at
tention was formerly paid TO reliefs, and
the relief colorings were sometimes very
beautiful. Primitive Greece did not add
much I'm this line although we find evil
dences I'm their temples Of a type of paint
ing. There are many methods by which
the art is carried on; water-colors, fresco,
distemper. pastel. oil and mosaics for in
stance. The latter was carried perhaps 10
its furthest development by the Byzan-
tines. Among the aborigines OF America
we find kind OF sand-painting peculiar
to themselves. Among other people are
found enamelled bricks. porcelain, glass,
textile works and pottery.
The demains OF Greek and Roman
painting are not TO be compared In num-
ber or worth with their sculpture The
vases to be sure are quite numerous and
deserve special note. From Pompeii. Fay
youm and the catacombs in Rome we
find some valuable relies. The decorations
OF early churches. especially those Of Byz-
antine and Medieval times furnish much
important material for study. The Re-
naissance caused a stir i'm the world OF
painting. and Leonardo. Michelangelo.
Raphael Titan and others are too we'll
known 10 be commented upon. The task
of the painter is hard one for he has TO
depict nature on a fiat surface. Drawing
and cooring are difficult TO master and
In order 20 get a good perspective, the
artist must be master of his craft.
Brown won from West Side last night
at the latter's alleys. The first string
went TO the home team but the college
boys pulled the last two out of the hole
by good even rolling. The totals were

sections OF from 70 TO 100 men, but on that
evening the entire body OF from 500-600
students will go through the movements
together. The effect of such a large num-
ber all attired in white ducks and black
Jerseys will certainly be inspiring TO the
audience. Possibly 200 students are excus-
ed from gymnasium work on account OF
various reasons. such as being on the
baseball squad. bowling team, or as be-
ing physically unable to take the drill,
but the number is large enough Four of
