those who had studied under him al
the league met to do him honor by
acknowledging their debt of gratitude
and by presenting to him, from no'
ONLY themselves but their colleagues
many of whom could not be present, a
bronze medal as permanent testl-
moniaI of their love and esteem.
The medal was the work of Miss

the former students of the Art Stu
dents League. Nothing could have
been simpler or more artistic and ap-
prOprlate.
The presentation was made by Mr..
Chiffon, who is declared the dean of
the league. To Mr.. Messer it came as
a complete surprise and for an instant
he was quite overwhelmed by the ap-
probation which it betokened. But di
rectly he was on his feet and with
deep feeling not only acknowledged the
gift but told something of its signifi-
canoe to him.
Mr. Messer was the first to establish
an academic school of art in Washing
ton. This was a private venture, but
one which found its inception in a de-
sire to give to those who desired !,
that which was most needed-to open
as it We're, avenues of joy and service
to those of special gift. This school
was in rooms in old Vernon row. on
Pennsylvania avenue. where at that
time-the early eighties-the local ar
lists congregated The opportunities
for art study in this citv then were ex-

place and received but limited con
sideration.
For five years Mr.. Messer's school
continued, then his health broke down
and he was obliged temporarily to give
up teaching At that time he and Mr.
Brooke were making elaborate plans
for a copartnership and school on
much larger scale, but fate decreed
otherwise. the project was abandoned

and Mr.. Messer went abroad, leaving
the league his school equipment and
his blessing. Some months later. upon
his return, he became chief Instructor
in the students organization. and con-
tinued as such until the Corcoran
School absorbed the league, making MT
Messer its principal.
Thus for thirty-f1ve years at least

Referring to the members of the
| league in the old days Miss Nicolay
said:
| "In looking over the names of those
| who touched hands and kept step for
a time in the league we find ourselves
circling the globe. and travel many
paths of art. There was Larry Hatch,
| for example, who made a great success
of his work an engraver and died IN
| the employ of the Chinese government.
There was Richard Hovey. There is
Frances Benjamin Johnston, one of the
forerunners and foremost eXponents of
artistic photography. There is Clara
Hill, whose work comes home to us
SO intimately today: Alice Archer, sew

In conclusion Miss Nicolay paid the
following tribute to Mr.. Messer:

league centered, in the spirit and in
1uence of Mr. Messer. always holding
up before US high ideal, always sane
and always kindly, even when he gave
