Works Which are to be Seen and
Comments on the Display.
The annual exhibition OF the depart
ment Of Fine Arts Of the University
was begun Tuesday afternoon at 1870
and will continue all Wednesday. 1t
is being held ia Room IL, Science
Hall. The exhibition, as usual, re-
fleets great credit both on students
and instructors, and more this year
than ever. Unfortunately, owing to
the limited space, it is found impossi-
bic to make as elaborate display as
the work merits, but this does not
detraet from the interest which the
exhibit il Offering the visitors.
The most notable work is that Of
Miss Addie r. Ireland, whose large
oil study OF an eastern maiden and
portrait of DR.. Myres, formerly direc-
tor Of the Experiment station, at once
attrrcts the eye Of the visitor. A
smaller but not less meritorious piece
of work is an oil study of fisher boy,
by Miss Maud Sennett. Miss Irelands
portrait studies from life and Miss
Sennett's fruit studies from nature are
also quite meritorious.
Among the very prettiest and most
interesting specimens are several
studies in Pastelle, by Miss S. Mat
tie Hymes and Miss Blanche Lazelle.
Miss Blanche Lazelle's work in crayon
also reflect great credit upon her
Miss Gertrude Koontz has also execut-
ed some good crayon work.
Miss Elizabeth Tapp has several
very creditable marine and landscape
views in water eolors, by Miss Bessie
Grant are among the most delicately
executed specimens exhibited.
Miss Ada May Halstead has done
some very good and especially clear
work in water colors, her studies be-
ing principally from still life. The
still life studies of Miss Winnie Reall
ia water eolors are also desiring of
favorable mention.
Miss Rachel Whitman, as a begin
ner, has done some very good work in
fruit studies.
Among the very best of the still life
studies in water colors are the rose
studies of Miss Bertha Shaffer
Most of this work has been done
from nature, though few OF the
shelf studies are among the most
creditahie Ia the exhibit.
Mrs. Hubbard, under whose in
struetion this work in this part OF
the exhibit has been done, has on ex-
hibition I very superb production OF
her own, the subject being beauti-
full view of the Cheat river from the
spot known as ''Hilarity Camp
Some very good work has also been
done in charcoal, especially in studies
| from the antique
The specimen most deserving OF
mention are the Hermes and Venus
of Miss Ireland, the latter being on
the production upon which she was
recently awarded a scholarship ia the
| New York Art Students League; the
Thesis of Miss Lazelle; and the set
Venus Demilo studies by Mr.. Roy
Hopkins, Miss Sennett. Miss Fannie
Parsons and Mr.. e. B. Hopkins have
also done some very good work In
| charcoal.
In the perfection work the most cred
| liable is that of Mr.. +. n. Anderson
and Mr.. f. ii. Ownby.
! A set of shell studies from nature,
in pencil work, by Miss Isa Neel, are
very creditabie.
The charcoal and pencil work was
done under the instruction of Mr. Leon.
