GROUP GARRISON

BY the hSSOCldLSo ASSS'
CHICAGO, February 6.-In an old
stone building out on the University
of Chicago campus lives group OF
prominent artists, planning and work.
ing in an atmosphere still filled by
the personality of their master, the
late Lorado Taft, internationally
famed sculptor.
Three men and two women, Fred
erick Torrey, Leonard Crunelle, Otis
F. johnson, Nellie V. Walker and
Mary H. Webster, make this place
their home and workshop. They are
surrounded by hundreds of models
ranging from heads of famous per-
sons to symbolic groups standing two
stories high. Each room, and there
are many, is filled with faces, figures,
personalities and dreams" in plaster
or stone.
Just before Taft died October 80,
1886, at the age of rs, he expressed
the wish that his final contribution
be completed by his students. This
was a group depicting George Wash
ington with Haym Solomon and Rob-
ert Morris, patriots who aided the
colonists in the Revolutionary War.
$4,000 for Completion.
The soul of the rambling old studio
today centers in the small plaster
model of this particular group and
prominent business men have organ
lied the Patriotic Foundation of Chi
cago to raise $4,000 for completion
of the memorial under direction of
Cr1nelle. who joined Taft in 1897.
Taft still lives with us" said
Sculptor Torrey, pointing to an I'M
finished figure of q young woman
emerging from a block of Tennessee
marble.
His inspiration never will die here, -
says the dead sculptor's widow, Ada
Bartlett Taft.
This is my home; here can ere
ate," says diminutive Nellie V. Walker
as she caresSeS the pet black cat
curled asleep in paper box on her
table
Thus live Taft's students. They are
carrying on, materializing their own
inspirations in stone and bronze, but
always maintaining that their master
lives to guide them.
Noon Luncheon Continues.
When Taft was alive his students
sat with him at the noon luncheon
table. Even some who did not reside
at the studio house would drop in to
join this congenial Dutch treat
ritual where the conversation always
was of art The MONDAY gathering
still continues and the topics are
still confined to art, but the master S
chair stands empty.
Sculpturing from the hands of this
group is found throughout the United
States. Crunelle and Miss Wooster
have memorials in Illinois; Miss Wal
ker's work is found in Illinois, Iowa,
Wisconsin and Colorado; Torrey has
added sculpturing to pubic buildings
in New York, Oklahoma and Louisi-
ana: johnson has collaborated with
Taft and the others by preparing
architectural backgrounds for many
Of these projects.
