Remarkable progress has been made
in this department., as shown by the
| fine specimens Of their work on exhi-

well lighted quarters in the old library
room, which was also the chapel of the
early days Of the University.
Only during the past term has there
been anything done in china painting,
but the progress made is very enco ur-
aging Four young ladies, Misses
Nora Ward, Maude Sennett, Georgia
Young, and Miss Waugh deserve es-
pecial mention for excellent work on
china. Since facilities have been pro-
vided for china painting, much more
attention will be given to it in the
| future.
