Art connoisseurs and critics in Lon
don are exercised just now over the
authorship Of a portrait of lady in
the exhibition of old masters, organ
ized by Messrs. Agnew for the benefit
of charity. The portrait is about $50
years old, beautifully painted and in
the most perfect condition. 1t is obvi-
ously English, yet no one can guess
the identity of the admirable artist by
whom 1t was produced. 1t is curious
that in England. of all places, an artist
could escape recognition, but the
guesses of the best judges covef a
wide field and have really unearthed
names which are unfamiliar to most Of
the brotherhood Of art writer's. The
special portrait has the ear markb Of
the Royal Academy, but it is dififult
to determine the academician's name

President Edmund J. James of the
University of Illinois recently issued
an address to the students on hazing,
In which he declared that hazing
would not be tolerated. and that any
students found guilty of 1t would be
dismissed from the university. Presi-
dent James said: "Hazing is a viola
tion of good manners and Of the right
OF individual liberty. 1t is provocative
OF public disorder. In its milder forms
1t is a nonsensical and almost idiotic
form of amusement unworthy of the
support or favor of any sensible uni
versity student. In its coarser forms
hazing is vulgar, brutal, always de-
moralizing, and sometimes dangerous
form Of sport which the university can
not countenance or tolerate"

Your recent article criticizing the
