DEAN MATHEWS

ers-
And master mariner has he proven
himself in. those long years True, he
has come dangerously near the reefs
at times. but his strong personality
and his skill--his great art-have al
ways saved him.
Mr.. Mathews resigns for the most
logical of reasons-beceuse he cannot
AFFORD TO give more of his years 10 the
upbuilding OF the school. He reached
the decision some time before the FIRE.
and after the fire. with studio, draw
ings. pictures, everything gone but his
skill, the decision was the more posi-
tive. Then was there ne reeeding-no
time for temporizing. The painter
who in recent years has achieved the
reputation of being one Of the big men
of the West-must paint. and paint,
with his energies centralized and his
time unbroken.
This is why the most dominant fig
ure in the recent history of the art
association sewers his connection with
it. There may be others. but this suf-
fees.
In the passing of Mathews the
school loses a heavyweight In like
measure will it lose prestige. lest in
deed. as big a man be induced 10 take
his place. And a big man will have 10
be induced; since the pay is absurdly
small fer so great a personal sacrifice
But there is. of course. the lure Of
honors
In the retirement of the dean there
will be deep regret among the elders

tears will fall; for the Mathews man

gruff, domineering-the kind that jerks

But beneath the bluff exterior the
Mathews heart is kind and his mo-
tives high And as to his art, he has
few peers in the West His passing is
a distinct loss TO the school. II may
be. however, that new blood will infuse
more diversity and originality into the
