In the arrangement of the drapery,
more than in any other particular,

I'm presenting this copy of the statue
to the Normal School, the club women
of Gunnison wish to show their interest
in the artistic development of the young
people who, from time to time, come

Mrs. Kelley, then asked Miss Metroz
who had seen the original statue, to
give her impressions of it. This she
did in very pleasing manner.
In behalf of the school Mr. Meddins
and Mr.. Richter thanked the club wO-

This is the second time the club women
have come to the rescue of the art de-
partment- This beautiful addition to
the scant collection of the art depart
ment is bound to prove stimulating to
the art students.
