of Plato" The lecturer explained fully
the theories OF Plato concerning all
questions of art. and pointed out the
differences between his conception of art

of art critics of the present time. In
discussing the line OF subjects sug-
gested by Plato as being suitable
motives for art effort. the lecturer said:
This is the language of Plato not
Of Mr. CumsJock." Referring 10 the
present condition of art matters in
france. hc said that while the French

ing elemental beauty have been given
places on a level with subjects which
are worthy of The highest inspiration

The next lecture of this course Will
be upon the subject: Art Considered
