THE Art Club has now been in existence four years, and has at last found for itself a sphere of usefulness. The notice given in another column explains in detail the changes made in the plan of the club. It has always been our opinion that this club might become an instrument of good if it could find a definite method of advancing the interests of art. It labored under many disadvantages. Its object was to increase the knowledge of undergraduates in matters of art, but there was no one competent and willing to undertake the instruction of the members of the club themselves. By the efforts of Professor Norton, to whom the club owes a large debt of gratitude, it has been put on a basis where there is a chance for it to do something. The success of their new effort rests largely with the undergraduates not members of the club. If a sufficient number of them become subscribers in the manner proposed, they will unquestionably advance their own interests and raise the club from its former anomalous position to a place of practical usefulness.
