modate only sixty-nine girls mere

bered that over 800 were turned away
before October /, and that an average
Of ten girls are refused admission
daily because there is no room for
them. More space is needed not only
for routine purposes but for the con-
certs and recitals which could be held
frequently in a suitable auditorium
and for the exhibiting of paintings,
sculptures and other productions. There
is every reason in the world why stu
dents should como to New York in
large numbers. Here they find art
schools in abundance, the theater, the
opera, the concert hall, all the means
of aesthetic study. Obviously. a place
like the Studio Club is infinitely su-
perior to the unknown boarding house,
not only for comfort, but for broad op-
portunity, and it is earnestly to be
hoped that the appeal of the Y W. C..
A. may meet with generous response.
The president of that organization in
this city is Mrs. William Fellowes Nor
gan and among the other officers are
Mrs. W. w. Rossiter, Mrs. Willard
Straight and Mrs. Henry P. Dawson.
At the Babcock gallery there are
twelve canvases by new young
painter, Mr.. Henry S. Eddy, who makes
a most auspicious debut. He has pro-
duced these studies in Provincetown

Mr.. Eddy has facility. Better than
that, he shows in his workmanship the
solid fruits Of discipline and thought.
He has already developed . good pic

nique he should go far.

was visited by an old artist who had
fallen upon evil days. He eame with
one Of his pictures, unframed, under
his arm. He came in one Of the archi-
tect's busiest hours, but he was very
anxious, SO anxious that he had for
gotten even to dust his neglected can
vas. With smothered protests White
broke off his work and hailed tho
artist cheerily. Laughing, he brushed
off the dust from the picture with his
handkerchief, spoke Of 1t cordially and
irterrupting the tale Of woe that he
was too considerate to have fully told
he began to empty out ehis pockets.
After droll habit Of his he had bills
crumpled into little wads wherever q
garment would hold them. Out came
these waits and strays until he had
only a few bits of silver left.
The wads, hastily flattened, wero
pressed upon the artist with a boyish
shout. There were enough Of them to
take him away happy, but it was tho
comradely spirit in which they were
bestowed upon him that made che
whole affair what 1t was, helpful. be-
yond the power Of money to help. That
was Stanford Whites way. He had .
gift for generosity and friendship. That
is why his friends have sought tho
opportunity to do honor to his MEM
ory-that, and their appreciation Of
the profound services which he rem
dered toward the progress Of American
art through his work as an architect. It
is interesting to be able to announce,
apropos of this monumental enter
prise, the forthcoming publication OF
another memorial, book by Lawrence
Grant White, entitled "Sketches and
Designs by Stanford White: With an
outline of his career by his SON." This
folio, to be brought out by the Archi-
tectural Book Company in the spring,
is to contain a frontispiece in color,
thirteen illustrations in the text and
fifty-six plates, sixteen of which are to
be in tint. The book will show how wide
q rarge White covered. 1t will reproduce
sketches that he made from buildings,
sculptures and other works Of art In
Europe. 1t will show also, as they were
executed, designs Of his for grave
stones, monuments, picture frames,
book bindings, stained glass windows
and interior decoration. His purely
architectural work, Of course, appears
In the voluminous work already pub
lished on the buildings erected by No
Kim, Mead & White. The text prepared
by his son will include = number Of
letters. These, as the specimens in
Homer saint-Gaudens's biography Of
his father have pointedly shown, re-
fleet one of the most picturesque fig
'ures in the history of American art.

too, by just such collaborative proc
ess as he loved. Throughout his
career White was won't to call In the
services Of sculptors and painters. He
had for them, indeed, the sympathy of
a man initiated into the spirit Of their
mediums. John La Fargo once told me
how White in his youth had come to
him with the aspirations Of a painter.
He urged him instead to devote him
self to architecture. The advice, as we
know, was justified, but White never
lost his gusto for the other arts. When
he was building the great baldachino
in the Church Of the Paulist Fathers
he had MacMonnies model the three
angels and intrusted the sanctuary
lamp to Philip Martiny. The famous
portal for St. Bartholomew is another
Of many instances Of this policy of his.
Hence 1t is fitting that the same policy
should govern in the building Of the
new university doors. Eight of the
panels in them will contain seated fig
ures in relief, typifying the arts and
sciences, and they will be modelled by
sculptors formerly associated with
White. Two will be done by Andrew
O'Connor, two by Herbert Adams, two
by Philip Martiny and two by A. A.
Weinman. The scheme to be thus car
ried out was inaugurated by a COM
mittee embracing the following names: /:

A Welcome Visitor

IOIu T rance
The landscapes by M. Victor Charre-
ton which have been placed on view at
the Dudensing gallery introduce an ar
tist Of distinguished ability. Prelimi-
nary announcements designated him as
an impressionist and the phrase is not
inapplicable. But It does not connote
the conventional disciple OF the historic
movement. He is an impressionist in
that he gives full valnS to light and air,
but as typo we arc inclined to asso-
ciate him not so much with Monet and
his circle as with the Scandinavian
painter Thaulow. In lis choice Of snowy
subjects, in his preponderant color
schemes and in certain bold massing Of
his material he strongly recalls this
artist. One great merit that he pos
sesses is what we can only describe as
8 likable picturesQueness. When he
paints an old red rooted building or a
church with It's belfry or some such
friendly motive he fixes it in a charm
ing design. And his picturesqueness Is
based upon truth. Like Thaulow, he is
a realist. though his scenes partake Of
the romanticisrn which family hangs
about even the familiar everyday things
OF old Europe. Sometimes M. Char
reton's fervor runs away with him and
he gives us q splash Of color, stroke
Of brushwork, which diminishes his Of
feet. He 10 sometimes . little heavy

tionally fine sky. The snow pictures

Columbia to Open
Baseball Season
With n. Y. L. Nine

After more than a month of marking
time, the Columbia baseball team will
raise the curtain on its season Wednes-
day afternoon, when New York Univer-
sity comes to South Field for the an
nual clash between the two metropoli-
tan rivals. The contest will be the first
of a schedule of twenty-one games for
the Morningside Heights team. fourteen
of which will be played on the home
diamond.
The initial tussle will mark also the
return of'Coach Andy Coakley to Co

After developing the championship ag-
gregation Of 1916 Coakley's plans for
the following season were frustrated
by the war, and in 1918 he was dis

Columbia to coach three sports-foot-

Dawson resigned last November Coax

for Olympic
. vi Marathon Will
Offer Fine Test

ANTWERP, April 3.-The course for
the Olympic marathon race, the prir.-
cipal individual event of the Olympic
games, has been officially selected
and promises an excellent test for the
long distance runners of the world.
The start of the race, Professionally set
for August 81 or %, will be made from
the Royal Palace at Laeken, just out
side Of Brussels, and the finish will
be made in the Olympic Stadium at
Antwerp. The distance will be 1855
miles, including the final laps over the
stadium track proper.
Leaving Laeken the runners will
follow a little used road from the
palace for a few kilometres, making a
detour which will bring them to the
main highway between Brussels and
Antwerp. This road is almost as level
as a table and leads through five or
six small villages. as we'll as the larger
city of Malines. 1t was from his city
that the Germans b%ombarded Antwerp.
The marathon runners, howeve4, vii,
not pass through the city Of Malines
proper, but will race along the boule-
ward surrounding the city, which has
been built over the ruins Of Malinegs
ancient Notifications.
There is but one hill, of not more
than l per cent grade, near Malines,
and this is the only obstacle which
the competitors will have to surmount
during the twenty-six and a fraction
mile race The roadbed is of brick,
but dirt f%ootpaths parallel the road
on both sides, and these paths are
broad enough for two runners to travel
abreast.
The villages along the route are ex-
tremely small, and as all traffic will
be stopped during the race and the
course we'll guarded there will be no
Interference with the runnera.
