are heartily welcomed and their

Truly the classes In the Art Depart
ment are to be congratulated for the
success achieved In the several
branches and too much cannot be said
in praise Of the accomplished and
efficient instructor, Miss Lambert
who Is in charge Of the School Of Art,
and Of her able assistant. Miss Flora
Mcclure, Of the class Of 1904.
Themselves inspired with a love FOR
the beautiful in nature aud in art
they possess the rare faculty OF
inspiring their pupils with an
enthusiasm which lifts them above
the mere drudgery Of study and raises
them into the atmosphere Of the
ideal, the expression Of true art.
And Central College Is indeed
fortunate in that it has placed MISS
Lambert at the head Of this DEPART
ment and that In Miss Mcclure she
has so sympathetic and helpful an
assistant. B.
