Others will probably be added as time progresses.

Some colleges have art galleries in connection with their Union build ings and they have proved important additions to the attractiveness of the buildings.

He is enthusiastic about the opportunities offered the artist to try his craft at presenting some of the beauties of the campus on canvas and is doing all he can to further the proposal for a regular course in which a student can major.
