J, l, H. Downes, on Behalf of His Old Pupils, Presents Art School Instructor With
 Silver Bowl.
BRILLIANT COMPANY THERE
Professor Wcir's Tribute to Man Who Was Ills Associate During Thlrty-scycn Years of
 Service.

A brilliant company gathered In the south gallery of the Art school yester- day afternoon to do honor to Professor John Henry Nlemeyer, who is Just re- tring after thirty-sevcn years Of ser. vice as Street Professor of Drawing in the Yale School of the Fine Arts The company was composed mostly of Pro lessor Niemeyers old students from New Haven as well as from out of town, and the beautiful costumes of the ladies contrasting with the sombre pictures on the walls of the gallery made a beautiful scene. X buffet lunch con was served to the company from tables placed at the ends of the gal the luncheon was served John l, H. Downes, secretary of the Art school made felicitous address and present. ed Professor Niemeyer with a superb beaten silver bowl on behalf of his old students. Professor Niemeyer made an cepting the bowl The luncheon was then served and after the luncheon Professor Weir made brief lmpromp- tu speech, such a speech as only Pro. lessor Weir can make. graceful, serI. ous, reminiscent and nowing-llke con. versatlon on It's highest plane. He re. i ferred to his first meeting with Mir Nlemeyer, his ntultive feeling that Mir Nlemeyer was the teacher he was seek. ing for the Art school. and to theil long years of cooperation and com. ! radeship.
 At the close of his speech Professor Nlemeyer came forward and shook ' hands with Professor Weir, and tho two stood together for a moment be- fore the company, making picture more eloquent than any on the walls.
 Mir Downes speech, barring his in- terpolations, was as follows

 Sometimes we thought him severe - am speaking of twenty years ago but 1t was all in the tradition and we were rather proud of 1t, l think 1t was felt shat those whom he really loved, he chastisod, And this must mean, on second thought, that he loved Us all, for he was always the soult of lmpartiaity--wc none of us escaped
 If we have not the gift to see our selves as others see us how much more difficult Is 1t to see our work as the master sees it? Prof, Me meyers pregnant question "Do you see?" has not always worked an in- stantaneous miracle, but 1t had a way of lingering In the mind, l am just beginning to zee some things that he asked mo If l saw twenty years ago, and l hope l am not slower than some of the others here. His Do you see P was SO emphatic that we usual ly answered. however doubtfully, that we did And the answer was, in most cases, only a little in anticipation of the fact. Art Is notoriously long, and sometimes, in the course of time we saw.
 IL is a matter of regret that some ol us who saw the qulckest--l mean some of our most distinguished classmates who have successfully followed what Mir. Cox called last night the primrose
 way, where the labor itself is the joy and the reward of the worker, could not be present with us to-day. Fred. erick Remington, William A. Coffin Samuel Isham, Bela Pratt, Walter Net. 1 tleton, Josephine M Lewis. Mary Foote Genevleve Cowles--to mention some o'
 the better known, found 1t impossible | much to their regret, to come.
