to providing space for 10000 men and

surprise of many in the department
where the rule of seniority had been
where 1t was possible to depart from
that custom. The bestowal of the

that the statement was recently made
by high authority that there is not a

ANNUAL FUNCTION IN VIEW
Reception to Students and Faculty of
G. W. U. in Fall Urged.

An annual reception for the students
and faculty members OF George Wash

probably will be inaugurated next fall.
Dean William Carl Ruediger of Teach
ers' College. chairman of the social
subcommittee of the faculty committee
on student activities. has suggested the
event and will do all in his power to
have it introduced into university life.
Dean Ruediger has in mind a recen-
tion. dignified but pleasant, which
would enable students of the nine de-
partments of the university to become
better acquainted with each other and
with the members of the faculty The
proposed reception would in no wise in
terfere with the annual Womens Uni
versity Club mixer" which serves a
similar purpose, although it is distinct
ly g student affair and not an official
university function. 1.

NOTES OF ART AND ARTISTS

The belated box Of paintings by Zu-
loaga reached the Corcoran Gallery
the first of last week and was found
to contain some of the most inter-
esting exhibits in the entire collection.
These were promptly added and great
ly increase the impressiveness of the
showing as a whole.
Among the late arrivals is the por1
trait of NJ Maurice Barres. the dis
tinguished French publicist and man
of letters. who is depicted with pano-
ramic view of Toledo spread out be-
fore him. The reason for this Is
superb descriptive passage dedicated to
the city in his book, Greco. ou lie
Secret de Toledo" a copy of which
he is seen holding in his left hand.
1t is hard to say which is the more in
teresting. the portrait of the man or
the picture of the city. The latter Is
presented in an exceedingly definite
manner. The houses and the little
bridge over the river seem almost like
toys. yet they give the impression of
solidity and grandeur and also feel
ing of intimate acquaintanceshlp with
the place. NJ. Barres has chosen
position of vantage amid the rocks
on an adjacent hillside and stands, nat
in hand surveying the magnincent
view-an odd conception for por-
trait composition, but for this reason
all the more engaging.
Another large canvas lately arrived
is "The Cardinal" in which Is striking.
ly contrasted the sumptuousness OF
his eminences surroundings with the
arid and desolate aspect of the country
over which he exercises eccles1astlcal
dominion. The coloring and pattern
Of the floor and table coverings. as we'll
as the drapery in this picture, are ex-
ceedingly well worth noting.
Extraordinary rendering OF textures Is
also to be remarked in another of the
pictures now seen for the first time. the
picture of THE Bull Fighter el Segovia-
nito." whose costume of blue and gold is
inimitably painted.
The portrait of Nine. la Comtesse
Matthew de Noailles who is a poetess,
grace with portraits Of some of the other
Spanish beauties previously exhibited and
remarked.
Two versions are given OF Anita Ra-
inirez, young and talented Spanish
dancer-one in black with black lace man
tilla, standing before a typical Spanish
landscape or more correctly Spanish
city picture and the other Of the same
young woman in figured gown OF black
and turquoise blue. reclining on a couch
covered with p yellow drapery. an ex-
tremely decorative treatment both in color
and in line.
To have seen the Zuloaga collection be-
fore these works were added was to have
only half 5aen it. and estimates thus
formed should be revised. The exhibition
being replaced on Saturday by collec-
ton of paintings by Carl Melchers. an

He is still in his prime. being but fifty

works of the late Auguste Rodin is be-

scum. formerly South Kensington Mu-
scum. London. This comprises a group
OF Robins works presented by the

months OF the war as an expression of
his admiration for the valor of the
British soldiers fighting side by side
with his own countrymen. Other works
have been borrowed from private col
lections. The exhibit also includes a
collection of photographs of Rodin's s
works and a few of his important
